Legend Dean charts career

LEGENDARY singer-songwriter Dean Friedman is coming to The Brindley in Runcorn this May.

Dean Friedman first delighted UK and Ireland audiences with his charttopping hit Lucky Stars in the late 1970s.

The now-classic single paved the way for a slew of hits off Friedman’s acclaimed album Well, Well, Said The Rocking Chair, including familiar tracks Lydia, Rocking Chair, Woman Of Mine, McDonald’s Girl and Ariel.

In a very short time, Friedman had achieved pop-icon status and was acknowledged by critics and fans as one of the finest singer-songwriters of his generation.

He will be at The Brindley on Friday, May 19.

A spokesman for the venue said: “Dean pursues his career as a truly independent artist, with his albums being financed, not by a major label, but directly by his fans via his website.

“He has earned a loyal, international following with his insightful and compelling, true-to-life story songs.

“Songs like Saturday Fathers, Jennifer’s Baby, Where Have All The Angels Flown?, Under The Weather and It’s My Job, have prompted enthusiastic audiences to proclaim his songs as ‘the soundtrack to their lives’, dealing as they do with family, friends, neighbours, work and the seemingly trivial, yet ultimately compelling, stuff of everyday life.

“In Runcorn, Dean will be performing songs from throughout his three-decade career, including familiar, radio hits and fan favourites.

“Invite family and friends and join Friedman for an evening of powerful, poignant and hilarious songs about the ordinary and extraordinary lives we share.”
