Beau - Bonfires Of The Soul. Trevor Midgley has just released his twentieth album for Cherry Red to coincide with his 80th birthday! A new batch of his songs is always to be relished. Fourteen songs that are delivered solo with just his trusty 12-string acoustic guitar for accompaniment, falling somewhere between the political bent of Phil Ochs and the arch Englishness of Roy Harper This could well be the only album I have which references Noddy and his side-kick Big Ears (see title track)! The songs are both satirical and reflective. The passing of time, Lady Chatterley's brother, mortality, and land ownership are all subjected to his acidic humour, which also dissects the current state of life in these British Isles. Contemporary and topical, it is due to be released in early May and only available as a download at present. Find it here at www.cherryred.co.uk
