This year, I'm celebrating my birthday by playing a gig. Two birds, one stone, less admin.

After 18 months in the pop wilderness, it's the long-awaited return of my band, Friend, to the London stage ... with a brilliant new line-up and sound.
We're onstage at 8.00pm. And it will be our only live performance this summer.

There will be other bands playing too.

Ticket price is FREE.
You don't even have to buy me a present. Or a card. Just come. That's the best present.

I really hope you can make it. And although it's a birthday party, it's also a gig, so you can bring anyone you like.



Friend's press blurb:
Songwriter Danny Saunders likes to describe Friend as "just pop music", yet there's is a sound much deeper and more colourful than that term usually suggests.

It's a pop music crafted from a love of song in its many forms: from sixties beat to psychedelic cowboy music, with references to folk and doowop, funk and hiphop.

These apparently distant elements are brought together by the band's playful, reassuring touch. Voluptuous harmonies, warm orchestrations and bold, dependable beats lovingly support Saunders' unique voice.

It's a startling voice which combines a vulnerability and range echoing Brian Wilson with the eerie gravitas of Scott Walker in his crooning days.

All in all, the pop music of Friend feels familiar as home, yet there are deeper treasures for the faithful listener to discover.

This is pop music deserving of the name: Friend.

Members - Danny, Mike Horner, Nathan Thomas, Pino Trono, Tom Bateman
