The city of Birmingham has an incredible history when it comes to music, arguably only the second most prolific area behind Liverpool in terms of diverse genres and musicians and far and away the natural home of Heavy Metal.

Following on from the long list of notable musicians to come from the city and its W.H. Auden like leafy suburbs such as Jeff Lynne, Dexy’s, Magnum, Duran Duran comes David Garside. His last album, End of the Pier, was much acclaimed and the haunting nature of the Progressive undertones that he weaves impeccably throughout the entire recording are sublime and poetry driven.
