- About Me
- Alun Parry is Liverpool's most respected radical musician and songwriter.
He specialises in 'slice of life' musical storytelling that has something to say about the world we live in.
It is music to make you think as it makes you smile and stamp your feet.
As well as his show of original material, Alun also performs a show entitled A People's History In Song: 1900-2009 featuring the music of John Lennon, The Farm, Bob Dylan and many more.
'Powerful stuff. There is something essentially Liverpool about the songs and the sound. Songs that address the world we live in now.'
Roy Bailey, folk legend
'Seems clearly located within the Liverpool experience of popular song. Successfully merges a variety of local cultural experiences from Irish folk music to Beatles pop songs - plus a little bit of that oral tradition of imaginative word-play that underpinned McGough & Pattern & Henri.'
Robb Johnson, Irregular Records
'The Liverpudlian songwriter packs more weight in the punch of his folk songs than most acoustic musicians do in a lifetime.'
Big Issue In The North (Lianne Steinberg)
'Alun won over the audience with his first few words and held us enthralled with his melodies and perceptive lyrics. Entertaining and thought provoking!'
Holmfirth Folk Festival
'Talented songsmith.'
The Guardian
'Great stuff!'
Attila The Stockbroker
'One of the most incisive songwriters on Merseyside.'
Spencer Leigh, BBC Radio
'If Alun Parry was a politician he'd get my vote.'
