The Alun Parry Band and The Silver Freds

Alun Parry is a socially conscious storytelling songwriter. His hopeful, uplifting folk songs tell inspiring stories of social and personal change. He makes you smile as he makes you think. He is "an incurable champion of ordinary people" ?(R2 Magazine).? His songs and sound reflect the special geography of his Liverpool hometown. The foot stomping lilt of nearby Ireland. The gritty North American folk style of troubadours like Woody Guthrie. All laced with a Lennonesque twang. Musically he has been compared to Billy Bragg, Steve Earle, Woody Guthrie, and Christy Moore. His latest album is a defiant and rousing celebration of the human spirit. As ever, he delves into social history to shed light on hidden injustices that still resonate today. Alun and his band are performing at the Philharmonic Music Room to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Corridors of Stone."Powerful stuff. There is something essentially Liverpool about the songs and the sound. Songs that address the world we live in now." - Roy Bailey - Folk Legend The Silver Freds The Silver Freds are the "house band" at the long standing Grateful Fred's Americana, Roots and Acoustic Nights at Southport's Atkinson Theatre.
