Thread Name: Colin Irwin on Peter Bellamy
Subject: RE: Colin Irwin on Peter Bellamy
an interesting article.Idisagree with this statement
"His most prominent disciples include Damien Barber and Jon Boden, who have both not only drawn on his material, but taken substantial influence and inspiration from his eccentric vocal mannerisms. Barber, a fellow Norfolk lad exiled to Yorkshire, was even mentored to some degree by him and it was Bellamy who christened him The Demon Barber, a name he has subsequently used with great success for the band he now fronts.
Damien in my opinion bears no resemblance STYLE WISE TO Peter Bellamy,I hear more the influence of Dave Burland, the singer that reminds me most of Peter Bellamy is the Teesside singer Paul Dalton.
