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.
