About this concert
A Night Of Glass’ brings together Dan’s three recent glass-centred albums: Voices From The Cones (nominated for FATEA’s 2022 Innovation Award, The Glass Age and Reflections On The Glass Age, alongside old favourites.
The captivating show premiéred at the ‘Glass Room’ in Birmingham’s Symphony Hall in May 2023 to a packed hall and great reviews: “like glimpses of sunlight sparked off the fascias of distant skyscrapers” MusoMuso.
Accompanying himself on piano and guitar, Dan dives into songs and stories from the glass making industry and about how the glass of the screens we use everyday has changed our lives. Glass – such an artificial subject matter – is breathed sensationally into life via Dan’s sonorous Bowie-esque tenor, each tune interspersed with narrative leavened by his Black Country delivery.
“Gorgeous… intriguing” The Guardian
“Dan has an outstanding singing voice, possesses a unique artistic vision and displays songwriting excellence.” Chris Difford
“Wonderful production and writing” Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music
“Subtle and delicate melodies” The Sunday Times
