Air was jubilantly punched when we heard Adrian was heading back over to Glasgow to play Platform on Dec 2nd. Now a Chemikal veteran with three dazzling albums under his belt (and a fourth one entering the home straight), it’ll be fantastic to catch up with him in the hope that some of his poetic eloquence rubs off on us before Christmas.
A Choice Music Prize winner and critically acclaimed songwriter of some eighteen year standing, Adrian’s career was neatly summed up by the Irish Times when they said:
“The Galway native has steered a trusty course throughout his career, each album a musical progression yet anchored by that commanding, sonorous voice and reflective, evocative lyric-poems that bind love, life and nature together.”
Adrian will be joined on the bill by Liz Hysen from Toronto band Picastro for a rare solo set and by Glasgow’s inimitable Howie Reeve, no doubt playing material from his recent album ‘smaller, now‘.

“(Adrian Crowley) eases himself gently into a gilded pantheon that stretches from Scott Walker and Leonard Cohen to Nick Cave and Richard Hawley.”
