"Glyn Bailey's a one of a kind. For a start, he's got a few years on most of the guitarslingers cruising the local unsigned scene - but the life experience which seeps through his songs is something you don't pick up in the students' common room. In a rich voice, bordering on a croon - think of Richard Hawley and Neil "Divine Comedy" Hannon though, as opposed to anything cheesy - this quite brilliant singer-songwriter spins sinister-edged stories of life, death, paedophilia - and yep, a topical Gary Glitter reference prefaces the latter (if you're reading this some time in the distant future, said scary glam perv was released from a Vietnamese prison earlier in the day).
His real lump-in-the-throat poignant moment though comes not from any of the usual sources of such, but the dwindling band of lunar landing alumni ("Moonwalkers"). A guitarist down, this is Glyn Bailey And The (Not So) Many Splendid Things (As Usual) but the stripped-down sound works rather well. He is quite possibly crackers, but in a good way"
