ten: Davie Fiddle & The Lucky Egg

I'm sure you all know a bit or two about those moments when you blank out completely and think about where you'll be in ten years...Or how much of an impact you've made in your however many years on Earth...And how are you really seen by other people..?

All three of those questions are extremely dangerous thoughts. Davie Fiddle & The Lucky Egg of all bands would know, they wrote a song entitled Dangerous Thoughts for cripe's sake.
Davie Fiddle reside in the same ball park as bezzie mates and tour buddies Mumford & Sons with their warm, hearty folky songs. If you're off out to see them live, brace yourself for dizzying heights of elation, found in songs like Rosanna and then heart-stopping lows in the form of Nothing Says I Love You and others. As performers they are charming and infectious, a factor that some think comes across best live.
Andrew, Phil, Kevin and Chris (who once again contribute to their friends' musical projects) create truly reflective music, I wouldn't say it's music made to have epiphanies to, but you'll definitely realise a thing or two about yourself during the course of a song scribed by Davie.
Dangerous Thoughts is a song with a fist. The verses of the track ask questions like "Is this what I've become?/Is that how I'm perceived?" that make your heart drop lower with each and every syllable and you're forced to look inwards at yourself. It's music not for the faint-hearted that drives to your very core.

There's only one live date on the horizon to speak of. 31 July. Old Queen's Head, London. Be there or be square.
Listen to Dangerous Thoughts here.
