JUNE 2024 FEATURED ACT
MISERABLE LES
Interviewed by Sammi
On Location at Chez Mis... (Dek's very lovely House)
Miserable Les is a Singer/Songwriter who is sometimes described as the "The Ultimate Pessimist".
He hates this, describing himself as "Experienced Optimist "
I have to say, Dek (AKA Miserable Les) is actually a funny (in a very nice way), chap, and it was a pleasure spending a couple of hours in his company, we both share a lot of common ground, like and respect the same people.
I had only met Dek briefly a few months before, at the wonderful grey Horse in Consett, songwriter's night, and his song 'Cul-deSac' had stayed with me, much like the Beatles 'Penny Lane', as his song brought characters to life, amusing memories of Dek's childhood, living in.... yes you guessed it....a Cul-de-Sac!
His cleverly worded catchy tunes are superb, and I think that the Toft House would appreciate him too.
If you wish to book him, and I can heartily recommend him, here are his details: 📨 dek.simpson@talktalk.net ☎️ zero7394 267three95
The songs from the albums 'Gulp' and Euphobia' are available on Spotify.
The last album( Grrr!) is available on Bandcamp, either in physical form ( C.D) or digital download.
I enjoyed the Bonus Curly Wurly too!
