After his longest break from performing, Dylan John Thomas and his band of mates are raring to go and get back on the road and heading to Manchester
“Just getting back into playing shows will be class. We all grew up playing live music. For us, that’s what it’s all about.”
After selling out six nights at the Barrowlands, Dylan John Thomas is Scotland’s worst-kept musical secret. From pavement to arena, the DIY artist who did it all for himself, all the way to a sell-out homecoming show at Glasgow’s 14,300-capacity Ovo Hydro. A self-taught, multi-instrumentalist, mainlining the old-time rhythm of Johnny Cash (“boom-chicka-boom…”), the high-picking melodies of Simon & Garfunkel, the lyrical poeticism of Leonard Cohen – but all retooled with a twentysomething’s freshness, rigour and vigour, and the ardent fandom to match. Boom-chicka-BOOM.
