Programme - Deepdale Festival

Rich Quarterman

Saturday - Courtyard Stage

'Engrossing storytelling..., reflective with a hopeful air. An album that speaks of so many places and times and yet manages to fit perfectly into the space and time it's been released in' - Altrevue

'There's a cathartic nostalgia to the album as he skilfully weaves together tales of adventure and romance...The production is beautiful, and each song has its own crystalline sound. It's a set of songs which Quarterman has meticulously pieced together over many years, allowing each track to occupy its own thematic and sonic sphere. I'd thoroughly recommend this album to listeners who are keen on the contemporary lyricism of the likes of Frank Turner, but whose ears might sympathise more with the arrangements and instrumentation of Neil Young and Donovan' - Folk & Honey

'Decent tunes and excellent production, a quietly impressive album' - RnR Magazine

'Disarmingly simple and beguiling in its songs of bruised hearts and battered hopes..., listen once and you'll be wanting to listen again almost immediately afterwards.' - Folk Radio

'Carondelet' features a lovely collection of songs that use half-memories, real-life experiences, and urban landscapes to create beautiful vignettes into everyday life that resonate deep and long with the listener.' - Folk and Tumble

'Musically the narratives are presented with an emotive undertow ebbing and flowing in a graceful manner which is reminiscent of Elbow. [...] Quarterman has created a beautiful collection of songs that can be filed alongside John Prine or Cat Stevens. Take the time, give it your attention and you won't regret the decision to do so.' - Americana UK
