Song of the Day – deep the water

I remember when Lewis Watson came to Hull (yes, someone actually did come!) and did a wonderfully low-key gig in Fruit, the warehouse music venue. Supported by firm guitarleaves favourites Kimberly Anne and Saint Raymond he gave an exceptional performance. There is a subtle consistency throughout all of his tracks, which I really admire in a songwriter. He knows his style and he knows his audience, and so any interaction between the two is always harmonious. His latest track “deep the water” similarly conforms with this, showcasing his guitar skills and the vulnerability he manages to capture in his penmanship.

Song of the Day – Bonfires

42191aI first met Nottingham-born singer/songwriter Saint Raymond at a tiny warehouse gig in Hull a couple of years ago, when he was just a support act. Since then he has rocketed in popularity, being Track of the Day on Radio 1 and headlining gigs at Scala. He’s a talented musician – both on guitar and vocally – and besides the fact he’s a genuinely nice guy, his music is relatable  on some sort of level to everyone. Today’s Song of the Day is “Bonfires” – not from his most recent EP but a record nevertheless that has been stuck in my head from all those years ago when I first heard him play.
