'Quirky, spunky and really quite beautiful, this is British pop at its finest.' Q Magazine

Offbeat singer-songwriter Badly Drawn Boy (aka Damon Gough) has won a place in many a music lover's heart with his low-fi melodies, personal lyrics, trademark hobo chic appearance and rambling live performances.

Badly Drawn Boy's unlikely and inspiring rise to fame is a well documented one. A multi-faceted troubadour whose inspirations are broad and uncompromised, Badly Drawn Boy first came to national attention as winner of the Mercury music prize 2000 for his first album ‘The Hour Of The Bewilderbeast’.

Named after a seventies cartoon character, and a self-confessed Pot Noodle addict who memorably busked outside Waterloo Station for 8 hours for the video All Possibilities (earning £13.74), Badly Drawn Boy is an unarguable superb song writing talent who makes "sweet and deceptively unfussy, scruffily heartfelt tunes dealing with love, loss and the messiness of life" (BBC MUSIC).

Touring for the first time in three years in support of his new album, 'It's What I'm Thinking Part 1 – Photographing Snowflakes' (released Oct 2010), this follows a period of unprecedented creativity for Gough, sparked by his penning the soundtrack to last year's Caroline Aherne film The Fattest Man in Britain.

'A wonderfully offbeat blend of atmospheric folk and lo-fi rock that never fails to charm.' Billboard

'Sounds like Elliott Smith's English cousin, or Nick Drake's almost-upbeat nephew ... sweet, gently burning songs.' Rolling Stone
