A pop troubadour in the classic late 1960s mode<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

 <\/span>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\n who seems weirdly displaced in the modern world.<\/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\n be disappointed.<\/p>\n

Recent years have seen Whelligan focus on a project called \u2018Annexe The Moon\u2019. A modern-psyche collaboration with award winning BBC Sound Designer\/Producer Phil Channell (#1 podcast Death In Ice Valley). Their single \u2018Full Stop\u2019 was\n a firm favourite on BBC6 Music, with notable plays from Guy Garvey, Radcliffe and Maconie, Vic Galloway, Marc Riley and Steve Lamaqc. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The year 2021 saw the first of a new crop of Whelligan tunes, and his forthcoming album \u2018In The Mean Meantime\u2019 is lined up for release in April \u201822. Co-produced by long term collaborator Nick Frater (Big Stir Records\/Great Sheiks)\n whose trademark sonic fairy-dust brings the magic of Whelligan\u2019s tunes to your ears.<\/p>\n

Sweet vocals harmonise over warm and wiry guitars, while inventive lyrics are matched with floating melodies. The album promises an enjoyable trip down a psyche-pop rabbit hole. <\/p>\n
