ALASDAIR BOUCH RELEASES DEBUT CD
& PLAYS FRINGE FESTIVAL PRAHA 2010

Alasdair is joined on ‘First Person Singular’ by a magnificent pocket orchestra, featuring Byron Asher (clarinet, saxophone), Lucy Fillery-Murphy (cello), Mathieu Gautron (accordion), Tom Smith (piano) and Geoff Tyson (bass).  The album was produced by Geoff Tyson (www.geofftyson.com) in Prague.

Alasdair is playing the Fringe Festival Praha 2010 (www.fringe.cz), with a special, accompanied, candle-lit acoustic performance in Kostel sv. Jana Křtitele Na Prádle on June 3, 4 & 5 at 20:30.  It promises to recreate the warm intimacy and texture of his debut and its forthcoming follow-up ‘Second Hand Lullabies’.

Alasdair Bouch biography:
His live career began over twenty years ago in a series of projects that led from punk/indie garage, through long-haired 60s guitar romps, soul, blues and Americana, to his current trademark brand of blue-eyed soul and power-pop.  A sometime English teacher, funk/soul DJ, illustrator, travel writer and film critic, Alasdair Bouch has built a devoted following since wandering off the hectic global highway to make Prague his home over three-and-a-half years ago.  He hasn’t looked back.

‘Terrific… as if the ghost of Otis Redding has stumbled into the room.”  The Guardian
