"Utterly lovely, like an angrier Nick Drake"
Bob Fischer BBC Introducing

"There was a time when I’d say that a big label should snap him up but in the current climate I’d say he was doing well enough by himself." 
Dai Jeffries 'Folking.com"

"The essential ‘man with guitar’ album will never go out of style, it’s just that some do it so much better than others. To hear how it should be done listen to ‘Yours for Eternity’ from Steve Dagleish." 
Tim Carroll 'FolkWords'

"Steve Dagleish is a wonderful, engaging performer who combines all the skills of the best singer songwriters."   
Trevor Lloyd , Songwriters Circle Radio Show, 10 Radio

an eclectic folk-blues combo built around the songs of Steve Dagleish

Caro Lynn [vocals]
Mark Thistlewood [double bass/mandolin]
John Dagleish [vocals/harmonica]
Steve Dagleish [vocals/guitar/banjo]

 

 "This tight little folky, bluesy combo - built around the songwriting talents of Steve Dagleish - never fail to satisfy with their blend of Nick Drake moodiness and moments of Jefferson Airplane, soaring greatness. The quartet moves effortlessly through a set list of bittersweet favourites including Road to Mary, Bring Down the Sky and my personal favourite, Old Gabriel’s Horn. Steve’s songs are delivered with the deceptive lightness of sugar-coated pills that are easy to digest but which can then successfully lodge themselves in your brain for days as their true meaning sinks in like strong medicine. The purpose of the Green Note gig is to celebrate the launch of the band’s latest album ‘Live from Fiction Studios’. A perfect distillation of Riverman’s essence, the album shuns the classically manicured studio album in favour of a live performance that effortlessly captures the energy and passion of the songs. The album is as near perfect as it’s possible to get and is an essential addition to any collection of contemporary folk music – I insist you download it at once! ”
