Dec, 2009

Substantial inroads have been made into the recording of Dan's next
album throughout November and although he has been stuck in some
traffic on the highway of life this year, things are back on track.
December will see a short tour with Simon Friend (Levellers) and a
bunch of solo shows in both England and Ireland.  Recently having been short-listed for Critic's Choice award as best festival performance
last summer, alongside Lily Allen, Mercury Rev, ZZ Top and 37 other
acts , the process of booking next year's Summer festival performances next year has already begun.  Dan has agreed to a residency in London on the first Saturday of every month, except for March when he will be touring New Zealand.  There is little doubt that The next album will be released early next year and many of the songs Dan has been showcasing at his recent gigs will finally be available to purchase, download and burn for all yer mates.  Dan would like to extend his thanks to all you good good people who have supported him through another mental year. Have a happy and healthy Winter Season folks and here's hoping we all have a great 2010!!!

As Summer winds down and the madness subsides Dan has a few more festivals to play and then he REALLY is going to lay low and finish the new album. He will still be playing the odd recession beating house gig and may well appear in your local club pub or theater. But as many of you know there is a wealth of new songs itching to be recorded. Living in a car traveling at break neck speed for the summer has been a huge blast and Dan would like to extend a warm hearted thanks to all those new friends he met in the last few months. You know who you are!!

Dan has been rocketing all over the country in the White Hearse with his plastic Jesus as a co pilot. Occasionally joined by THE FOP
( bass player) or RANTING RITCHIE ( the only poet on the lonely planet) he has covered almost all of England and Ireland. In between his regular gigs he has been playing house parties in peoples gardens and living rooms. The shows have been a rip roaring success and he has converted peoples Mothers, Aunts, and Children in to die hard fans! Check out the videos on youtube and get in touch now if you would like to have Dan come and play in your house in the near future for free!! The album is still not finished due to life being CRAZY but the new songs are being well received in theatres, pubs, front rooms and gardens. Upcoming highlights include a Bimble Inn show at Beautiful Days and a Slot at DukeBox in Belfast. There are some gigs in Holland on the Horizon and things are looking good in general!!!

Spring has sprung and Summer is here and the festival season is upon us. Look out for Dan in a tea tent near you this Summer. It's going to be a fairly low key Summer for Sonovagun but there will be a few unexpected festival appearances. The album is coming along slowly but surely and Dan has started to play a few of the tunes in his live set recently. There is finally going to be some London dates in the schedule too!! Check out the gig schedule for details! Dan is now based in England and will be playing more dates in the UK than ever before. If you want to see him in your local pub or front room just send an email!!

April, 2009

Dan is currently in Brighton recording for his next album that promises to have some pretty special guest appearances. Although this means the gig schedule for april is non-existant there are a bunch of gigs in may and a few more to be added in Ireland once they are 100% confirmed. These include a jaunt around with the infamous drunk in public. A big thank you is due to Duke Special who had Dan guest on his recent tour. A great time was had by all!!

March, 2009

Dan is STILL working on his next album due to a spot of traffic along the way. He will be relocating to Europe for a while to escape from the distractions of the Big Apple and buckle down. March will see a homecoming show in Belfast and a few gigs around Ireland with acclaimed artist and kindred spirit DUKE SPECIAL. Details can be found in the gig listings on the site.
