Event information
Singer, guitarist and flute-player, Gordon has played in various bands (Iona, Dab Hand, Morgan Rattler, Roisin Ban), a few duos (with Dave Townsend, Brian Peters and Maggie Boyle) and mostly as a soloist. Gordon has been a professional musician most of his working life and has released 17 albums. He became a full-time musician in 1979 as the news of Mrs Thatcher’s election victory in May that year came through he was driving a battered Ford Transit down an autobahn in Germany in a futile attempt to escape.
Gordon is mainly interested in traditional music but has also written songs and instrumentals including various projects such as his settings of John Clare’s poetry and a Zen album ‘Mumonkan.’
Besides being a musician and artist, as an author Gordon wrote the book “Around The Blooming Heather” about Whitby Folk Week and the Northern folk scene.
