don't know too much about him - could anyone recommend a few tracks to start? anyone seen him live before?
Just noticed he's doing a tour with David Vandervelde and am considering whether to check them out.

all of
The Novelist/Walking Without Effort is fantastic, get that.
Not heard the new album yet.
cheers.
no one else has seen him before?
live
saw him at the enterprise a few weeks back playing solo.fucking amazing. i hear he has a full band for the upcoming shows though.
had tickets
for him supporting jens lekman at bush hall a year or two back but had to sell them as had no one to go with :-(
The Novelist
I'm slowly getting into the new one too.
Where's this tour?
from next week
www.myspace.com/richardswift dates on there.
had a good listen to the songs on his website, there's a bit of rufus wainwright/ed harcourt about him which i like. might go to that london show then - it's a pretty good double-bill.
Hmm. Manchester probably isn't worth it.
But i'd see him if I didn't have to travel.
He's good.
