Merrymouth is a three piece folk-influenced band which features Ocean Colour Scene [1] songwriter and vocalist Simon Fowler (guitar/vocals),[2] Dan Sealey (guitar/piano/vocals) [3] and Adam Barry (piano/organ/accordion/harmonica/vocals).
History
Formed with original member Mike McNamara (Bass, Piano, Guitar, Organ, Percussion), Merrymouth released their debut album Simon Fowlers Merrymouth on 26 March 2012. Recorded at Gospel Oak Studio, Warwickshire, they were joined in the studio by award winning folk musicians John McCusker and Andy Cutting.[4] They toured the album throughout 2012 and 2013, and performed at BBC Radio 2’s CarFest [5] for champion of the band Chris Evans (presenter), The Mosely Folk Festival,[6] and The Edinburgh Fringe Festival.[7] Mike McNamara introduced Simon to John McCusker and subsequently Simon presented John with the ‘Musician Of The Year’ accolade at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.[8] They later became close friends, and McCusker appeared on Ocean Colour Scene's A Hyperactive Workout For The Flying Squad [9] album in 2005, and joined them on numerous occasions at live shows. Simon subsequently went on to record backing vocals for McCusker's then wife Kate Rusby's Underneath The Stars album.[10]
Recent Years
Mike McNamara quit the band and in May, 2014, Merrymouth is scheduled to release their second album, Wenlock Hill, recorded at Rockfield Studios.[11] A collection of new songs, Wenlock Hill again features McCusker (Violin), and includes special guest appearance from Chas Hodges of Chas and Dave. A full UK tour is planned to follow the release of the album.
