An album full of memories and characters associated with being an unemployed musician growing up in Birkenhead. Jobcentre chat, glorious wasted hours by the waterside. The could\u2019ve-beens, the might\u2019ve-beens, the has-beens, the never-weres. The dreams, the reality, the hopelessness, the humour and the tenderness which was shared by so many in a town that was slowly but surely being forgotten.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Jamie Whelligan<\/h2>\n

Songwriter and singer Jamie Whelligan is a pop troubadour in the classic late 1960s mode. A busker on the London Underground, an actor in arthouse film. One of those ever present characters who seems weirdly displaced in the modern world.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Whelligan\u2019s songs mine that vein of melodic, psychedelic guitar pop that a certain type of English band are famous for. With songs spinning effortlessly from one genre to another, fans of XTC, Syd Barrett, and even The Rutles won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/span><\/p>\n
