Dark, soulful and sincere, Richard Pollott's unique and finely-crafted songwriting continues to win over listening audiences, with his debut 11-track album Kahani drawing admirers and critical acclaim:
'Classy' - Robert Plant
‘Great songs… we all love this here’ - Dave Earnshaw, The Band Agency
‘Passionate, inventive, varied… a fine voice and a fantastic sense of the dramatic’ -Decode Magazine
‘a beautiful paean to falling in love and the insecurities it brings’ - Venue Magazine
June 2006 will see the release of Richard's second album, 'Man Like Me', on his home label, featuring tracks already becoming well-known to the band's growing UK following including In Disguise, Magpie, Night Owl and Weeping Willow.
Recorded entirely in a medieval church within the wall's of Richard's home town of Canterbury, the album is a collaboration with producer/engineer Charlie Andrew (The Laurel Collective) and features full string arrangements on several tracks.
Richard and the band will be appearing at a series of appearances at festivals, theatres and other music venues throughout the summer and autumn (see News page for forthcoming gigs).
The new album will be available on this website and from iTunes, as well as selected retailers across the UK from the summer.
