George Thomas And The Owls

George’s music wouldn’t be out of place if played in an Alice In Wonderland-kitted out haunted house. Barmy songwriting is hard to come across, which is why George’s unique style is well-liked across Manchester. Following his quiet spell some time after helping launch Red Deer Club in 2007, George has released three studio albums under RDC, each as ditty as the other. George’s voice is the raspiest in the business, reminiscing the likes of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. He sings softly spoken poetry over The Owls’ array of banjos, pianos and guitars, resulting in delicate and often robust individual charm, not unlike his oddly alluring stage presence, as he squirms behind the microphone stand. This is pretty yet melancholic folk music at its very best.
