Will Varley

The Fickle Pickle Club · Westcliff-on-Sea

When the late, great Phil May of The Pretty Things (cited as a major influence by both David Bowie and Jimmy Hendrix) began curating songs for what would become the band’s final studio album, amongst covers of songs by Muddy Waters, Sheryl Crow and Robert Johnson, May included a song by British singer-songwriter Will Varley. In becoming an avid fan of the troubadour from Kent he joined an army of followers that has been growing steadily across the globe for last ten years and includes the likes of Billy Bragg, Skin from Skunk Anansie and Adam Duritz from Counting Crows, all of whom consider Will to be one of the best songwriters of his generation. In recent years Will has become a regular collaborator in the writing rooms of Nashville and Los Angeles, co-writing songs with Grammy award winning and CMA winning artists from the heart of the country music world. But over the last few months he has been holed up in his ramshackle studio, deep in the Kentish wilderness, working away on his latest offering – a new album now firmly on the horizon.

Les Barker was the folk world's well-kept secret on three continents. Outside its confines the general public were blissfully unaware of his talent for side-splittingly hilarious originals such as "Dachshunds with Erections Can't Climb Stairs' or 'Spot of the Antarctic' or 'Have You Got any News of the Iceberg?' (An alternative to the Titanic story from a polar bear's point of view.) Is it possible to be silly and a genius? Les Barker proved that it was. The Financial Times praised his work as “a blend of Edward Lear nonsense, Stanley Unwin wordplay, the surreal inconsequentiality of Reeves and Mortimer and the demonic robustness of Stanley Holloway monologues.” Les's long-time friends, Keith Donnelly and John Watterson, each well loved performers in their own right, are bringing his poetry to a wider audience.
