Event information

Songdog are a trio centred around Welsh songwriter Lyndon Morgans. He is joined by longstanding fellow Songdog regular Karl ‘Pod’ Woodward, who provides keyboard and the distinctive Mellotron sound that peppers the latest album, plus new violinist Bethan Frieze.

‘Mirabilia Mundi’ was released earlier this year on Junkyard Songs and is the latest album from Songdog. Over the course of the record’s ten songs Lyndon continues his exploration of favourite themes: time passing and the struggle to make sense of a disappearing world; a foreboding of things ending and a looking back at long-lost glory days. There are nods to the earliest Songdog albums woven throughout for those who know them. There’s a new producer, too, Al Steele (also known as guitarist with The Korgis).

Previous albums include 2022’s ‘Of Gods And Men’ (which came out under Lyndon’s own name), ’A Happy Ending, ‘Joy Street’, 'Last Orders at Harry's Bar’, ‘A Life Eroding’, ‘A Wretched Sinner's Song’, ‘The Time Of Summer Lightning’, ‘Haiku’ and ‘The Way Of The World’ and were released to great reviews from the likes of Uncut, Mojo, The Mirror, Maverick, RnR and Americana UK amongst others. Lyndon's tracks have featured on BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6Music plus other regional and international shows, he recorded a session for Tom Robinson's show and his music has been praised by Bruce Springsteen and Robert Wyatt.

Songdog will be joined by Sue Harding, a West Country-based singer, songwriter, and guitar player with a unique vocal-range and heartfelt delivery that creates a hauntingly beautiful sound, referencing the song-writing of the 1960s & '70s. Born in London but brought up in the Cotswolds, Sue fell in love with folk music when studying English in Manchester.
