Ryan Spendlove
While not native to Newcastle and her environs Mr Spendlove is a dyed in the wool Northerner and this is apparent on listening, I enjoy it when people retain some semblance of their accent with which to sing and tell their stories. It gives a gravitas and an identity that many discard. His debut album is about to land and his gentle melodies and heartfelt storytelling have a universal appeal whether Northern or not.! His voice reflects a certain mournfulness which imbues the songs with real feeling and is also fairly easy on the ear. Keep an eye on this lad and his debut album ‘Fable’.
Album available 5th April on Candyrat Records.
"Ex-Blueskins frontman Ryan Spendlove brought the evening to a close with some spellbinding, ass kicking blues, and slide guitar playing that was second to none." - YORK EVENING PRESS (Dec 2009)
