BAND INFORMATION

NATHAN BURTON

management : mike.ball@s-s-r.com

nathanburton01@hotmail.com

no posing or tortured torch songs. Just real life. But, played so eloquently and sung so beautifully. Tomorrows classics such as “It’s Hard To Sell Your Home” and the masterful Smiths influenced “Never Again” are unforgettable. So unassuming is Nathan that maybe even he may not realise how big a talent he really is.

Record Collector : "...there's an air of quality about him...the most pleasant record in the office this month"
City Life : "Blackpools answer to Brian Wilson...he's biting at the heels of Badly Drawn Boy"

great songs and a future, join it : BBC Online

If this was released in the 70's, and Sam was dead, everyone would own this record : In the City Music

"If heartbreak has ever before been melded into such an intriguing, downright splendid attraction then I’d be at pains to believe it, for this is an absolute treasure of originality."

THE LIBRARY TRUST

thelibrarytrust@yahoo.com

“Delicate strands of melancholy wonder set against a simple but sophisticated acoustic bed of strums, picks and the occasional dash of electronic effect. Soft but strong and packed with modern song. Ted Williams is a bright star on the burgeoning acoustic horizon…”

CRESTFALLEN

“…Crestfallen don’t try to be anything they aren't - not a hint of frayed-jumper singer-songwriter... The lyrics seem real and honest. No gimmicks, no frills, no bullshit. … Despite using as much unplugged stuff as possible the acoustic guitar break rocks as hard as anything with “Marshall” on the front…”
