10 RICHARD DAWSON

THE BAMBURGH BEAST

An instrumental like a rough cross between Beefheart and late John Fahey from Dawson’s 2011 second album, The Magic Bridge. Its title derives from a 7th century piece of gold jewellery, discovered not far from Dawson’s stamping ground in Northumbria. His latest prog-folk odyssey, Henki, made with Finnish avant-metallers Circle, is praised on page 87.
