Tolbooth Café Concerts – Craig Ferrie

The musical therapy of a philosophy student with a crippling level of self awareness. At times hopefully wholesome, with songs about his love for his dog and self acceptance; while at others brazenly dark with themes covering polygamy, mortality and addiction. Under various guises, most notably December ’91, Craig has built up an impressive collection of DIY releases. Often gentle and lulling, sometimes furious and thrashing, the pop melodies which will stick with you can seem to undermine the emotional complexity involved in both the music and his performance. Not for everyone, but it may just give you something you didn’t know you needed.
