FezMonkey Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Alternative singer/songwriter Chris Gorman is coming to the Tunnels on April 19th.'Glasgow singer songwriter Chris Gorman sidled quietly onto the scene with a minimum of fuss early in 2003 armed with a clutch of songs that had never seen the light beyond the bedroom door. Within a few short months of returning to the gigging circuit however, he began writing and re-writing furiously, so soon, it was a different side that the audiences were seeing. After the initially apologetic and mournful songs, the new material was darker, harder and much more twisted - but still with an accessible core that drew fans from all areas. After a series of gigs including Motherwell Civic Centre, Strawberry Fields, Barfly, Cabaret Voltaire and a high profile support at King Tut's, Chris recorded a demo at the request of Parlophone. He subsequently formed a band around the later material and continued the year with more gigs at Barfly (including two supports with Regina Spektor), a headline slot at King Tut's, and a show at the Barrowlands Revue Bar with the Grim Northern Social.'www.myspace.com/chrisgormanWith support from Kenetic, The Boy Lacks Patience & Jamie Sturtwww.myspace.com/keneticmusicwww.myspace.com/theboylackspatiencewww.myspace.com/jamiesturt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FezMonkey Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Review of Chris Gorman's gig at the Glasgow Barfly:"Downstairs, Chris Gorman was playing some utterly jaw-dropping material. Accomponied only by a guitarist (whose playing was very subtle throughout). He is definately one talented chap. Unlike many solo artists whose lack of diversity allows the mind to wander mid-set, Gorman keeps us fixed to the stage throughout with songs that make you stare and think 'I wish I was that good' to yourself. And the voice. Chris Gorman has the best voice i have ever heard in my life. Quiet falsetto to balls-out screams, this guy's sense of dynamics has to be seen to be believed. Watch out for this guy- he could well make it if he's seen by the right people" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
