As Badly Drawn Boy, Damon Gough puts a fresh spin on the traditions of classic singer-songwriters. When he emerged in the late '90s, his intricate, lilting melodies, quirky but heartfelt lyrics, and offbeat production touches fit in with the experimental pop fringe of artists like Scott 4 and the Beta Band, but Gough soon defined himself as a remarkable talent with 2000s The Hour of Bewilderbeast, his Mercury Prize-winning debut album. Since then he has cemented his national treasure status with albums including the soundtrack to About A Boy, which included hits Something To Talk About and Silent Sigh.
He celebrates 25 years of releasing music this year and we are thrilled to welcome him to our Sunday lineup on the Lakeside Stage at Camper Calling this year!
