Reviews

The Liverpudlian singer-songwriter packs more weight in the punch of his folk songs than most acoustic musicians do in a lifetime. From the anti-deportation anthem I Want Rosa To Stay to the rousing Thursday Night Drinking Song, Parry is acutely tuned in to the concerns of the everyman. With sparse instrumentation (guitar, bass, drums) Parry's honeycomb voice carries his insightful anecdotes with enough wry humour to wish he was your drinking buddy - Big Issue In The North

Campaigning singer songwriter Alun Parry releases his debut album after a string of successful nights around the city. Building up a steady following including BBC Radio Merseyside's Billy Butler, Alun's thought provoking songs seperate him from the rest of Liverpool's rich acoustic scene. Taking his inspiration from the world around him, many will relate to his music whether it is in an emotional sense or a comical one. From the humourous You Are My Addiction to the anti deportation stance of I Want Rosa To Stay, he proves himself to be a true individual in his attitude and his lyrics. - LIVE Magazine album review

Drawing on a myriad of musical influences...the album should appeal to a wide cross section of thinking listeners. Witty and amusing lyrics....Good lyrics go to the heart of important issues and, in Parry's hands, skewer them with the minimum of fuss....Social criticism is at the heart of this thoughtful and committed album. - NERVE Magazine

Talented songsmith – The Guardian

A varied album...with songs ranging from sombre to upbeat to comical. This includes the Billy Bragg-esque You Are My Addiction, featuring the lyric 'I could be your free range chicken, you can be my Colonel Sanders'. Great stuff! - GenerationLive Magazine

So varied he will take you by surprise – Billy Butler, Radio Merseyside

Parry whipped the audience into a cheering, table-slapping finale. This is music that makes you think as it makes you smile! - Live Magazine Gig Review.

He managed the rare trick of combining radical politics with a down-to-earth style that won over everybody in the room. - Adam Ford, Catalyst Media
