STUART NEGUS - FEAST

The eagerly anticipated debut album titled “Feast” from Stuart Negus, has now been officially released. When an album has guest appearances by Theo Gilmore, Michael McGoldrick and John Kirkpatrick then you know this is going to be something very special. Stuart has been regarded as one of the North of England’s finest song-writers for some time, and was the driving force behind the successful “Songwriters Circle” evenings in Yorkshire a few years ago. The range of Stuart’s talents can be seen within the opening two tracks, starting with “May I Walk” which has a Johnny Cash “Hurt” feel to it, before the more upbeat and foot-tapping “The Only One” follows smoothly along as it emphasizes an addiction we have all had at some point. The start is just a prelude as Stuart takes the listener on a wondrous acoustic journey of reflection and hope, the evocative “Autumn Girl” makes you actually taste and feel the Autumnal lyrics, while “New Beginning” is exactly that, with a picture of hope and inspiration described in Stuarts own inimitable way. Everyone will have their own particular favourite track, as everyone will have a personal acknowledgement of what the lyrics of “Walls” means to them. Like Monet or Constable painted pictures with oils, Stuart paints pictures with richly textured lyrics on this masterpiece of an album which I cannot praise high enough. THE album of 2010.
