Look at this man! You can tell he knows his stuff. From Sun City Girls to recent LP ‘Freak Of Araby’ Sir Rich stands for bringing musical styles that are made by, you know, foreigners into your own orbit the right way; globe travelling without leaving the impression of a thieving arse. As always, the QU bods put it better:
Sir Richard Bishop
with Freeze Puppy / Z+
Tonight’s special guest is Freeze Puppy, a skilled player in his own right, who steers Surf guitar, Sardinian folk, Zimbabwean mbira and British guitar pop into addictive, perfectly formed miniatures.
Plus Z+ in new (maybe electric) 3 piece formation. Here is a singer who’s misty and melancholic voice hovers over plaintive and melodic strumming guitar and gentle dissonance. All is eerie, all is heartfelt, all is touched by meaning. Music to feel your way into the evening with. He has the touch.
