Dan Croll - Home

I went to see Michael Kiwanuka at The Shipping Forecast in Liverpool last night.  As one of only two acts to feature more than once here on Music Truffler, I wasn't surprised to find his set highly enjoyable.  There were also two support acts but unfortunately I only managed to see one (due to circumstances too complicated to go into here).  The act I did see was Dan Croll and he played an impressive set.  You can hear one of the songs, Home, here  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H1rZxUApq0

Dan, who grew up in Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme, is a LIPA student.   At the beginning of 2011 he was one of 6 most promising students from UK higher education institutions chosen by their peers to compete head to head for a reward of £5,000 to support and further their music career.  Previous winners include The Wombats.  Dan won, of course.

Dan also fronts Liverpool indie rockers Dire Wolfe.
