Sunday Afternoon at the best pub in Burnley
Christian Madden and friends playing out this weekend
It’s been nearly two years since my last live performance playing my solo material so it’s about time I did something to rectify that. This Sunday I’ll be appearing at the Bridge Bier Huis, Bank Parade, Burnley at 5pm. The band is roughly the same as the one that played at Cloudspotting in 2021, Ben Redfearn on guitar, Nathan Sudders on bass, Richard Young on drums, Nicky Madden on saxophone and Matt Burke on trumpet. They’ve asked us to do two forty-five minute sets which will definitely be a little bit of a stretch. It’s good to stretch though. As well as selections from my first two albums there’ll be a good few songs from my forthcoming album ‘The Extra Weight’ being played for the first time.
The album will be coming out at some point over the next few months through Friendly Records of Bristol. My previous method has been to sneak things out on Bandcamp the day after the last mix is finished and maybe tell a few friends. Having someone else take a bit of care and interest in the proceedings has slowed the process down a little but will result in a more considered and professional release. It’s been mastered too, by Shawn Joseph at Optimum in Bristol and it sounds all the better for it.
So that’ll be with us in a bit and the next one won’t be far behind it. If you’re anywhere near Lancashire and fancy it I’ll see you Sunday afternoon.
Thank you kindly for your time
Christian Madden
Wish we could be with you. Enjoy!
