” I would – and will – happily play Cole’s songs next to any commercial release in my
running order”.
- (John Govier – BBC Radio Devon.)
Cole, now 24, is an original, mainly acoustic, singer/songwriter with a passion for writing songs that “express/reflect (in the way only music can) my own journey through life”. He’s influenced and inspired by the likes of Paul Simon, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Nick Drake & James Taylor.
Since the release of his debut EP November 2007, Cole has gone on to gain a big reputation in the South West, with the 1st track from it, ‘Walk To Midnight’, gaining airplay from Radio stations far and wide. Over the last 2 years his live performances have included BBC Radio, Showcases in London, Support Slots with ‘Lau’ (Radio 2 Folk Award Winners) , Steve Knightley and Megson. He recorded his second EP with producer Simon Greenwood (Soundcanvas) in 2009 and released his debut album ‘Changing Faces’ in January 2010.
He’s now being accompanied at most of his gigs by the Winchester based musician, Scott Ward. Scott’s incredible musicianship as a percussionist, pianist and guitarist have led to a hugely dynamic, versatile and entertaining live set at all of the widely ranging gigs/venues they play at. He also features heavily on the ‘changing Faces’ album and will be performing at all of the venues on Cole’s forthcoming tour.
Now signed to Shoelay Music he will be on tour promoting the album and you can contact/book Cole in the following ways;
