This is just everything i ever wanted from music and live performance, such preposterous brilliance with voice and instrument, wish i could have been there on the night...
Richard Dawson is described as a folk artist but this surely the essence of rock n roll. Extraordinary stuff. He did this song on the BBC show All Shook Up in what appeared to be an empty studio and still gave it absolutely everything. Wish that version was on You Tube as he managed to keep the guitar together right to the end. A unique talent who should be far better known.
Right now. The early hours of Christmas day 25/12/2023. I return home in a drunken stupour. Readily sozzled from generous helpings of Ukranian vodka bought for a friend of mine. War, debauchery, births of saviours and riddled messages of broken promises from years past. What else could I bring to my ears? What else could I infiltrate my cerebreal cortex with? Richard Dawson is a poet of our times. A northern song master who i'm incredibly proud to be geographically and culturally bonded to. I'm pissed, goodnight. I'm off to drink brown stubbys in the lads bogs. I mean, lyrics, come on? Peace and love to all.
This song is an absolute masterpiece amongst all of history
It's a bold statement. But one I can't argue with. I love him.

I pray for friends who get this as much as I do
jaw-droppingly extraordinary. I absolutely love the song, the singing and the playing.
great song

i still look for this video all the time - hence why i'm only here
Rock and roll?
I disagree..
This is straight up Doom Sludge

Met Richard at ATP, he's such a nice guy. I have never seen anyone perform with such passion.
HOLY FUCK!!!
I've watched this video many times over the past year, and only just realised how magnificent this bit is at 11:40. Richard Dawson has the right idea.

Only just discovering RD. Watched this open mouthed. Wonderful.
10:15 string pops out of its slot and he keeps going! kudos
Sure as shit did and sure as fuck did

Thrilling aesthetic and real life pleasure hyperbolic.
By the end of this it's like Richard's having a fight with his guitar and losing badly (in the best possible way)
amazing
He is a genious!
brilliant!
thee best
