Hi there !
I wonder if anyone has heard of Faul Bradley ? He was from the Manchester area - and I saw him a number of times, do solo gigs in Dundee, circa 25yrs ago - or so (plus or minus a few years !) Great singer/guitarist - mostly his own tunes - bluesy and slightly folky at times. He was in his mid-20's perhaps at that point. He played a parlour type acoustic guitar, with a modern magnetic (acoustic) soundhole pickup. He also did a great version of Smokestack Lightnin'.
We would chat when he was up in Dundee - and he'd get me up on guitar with him for a tune or two.
I was wondering if he still plays, is he still around in the UK, or what ? I still have the CD of him I bought at the time - and it's great.
Does anyone know about his whereabouts ?
NB. I have done internet searches - but only come up with stuff related to his CD, and anything else (v limited amounts) is at least 15yr old info.

I found all that - but thanks for searching too. Actually, I wasn't sure the Faul Bradley book was him or not - but there can't be that many with that very same name as his ?? !!! Plus, he did have a lot of poetical stuff in his songs - so it's probably him !

I always found it best to steer clear of poetical stuff!

Richard, you might try contacting the books publishers - The Type Factory? - they may be able to help.
There's a Faul Bradley in Australia with a facebook page with photos of him playing guitar, alas dated 2013.
The Type Factory is also in Australia - if it's the same person, maybe he emigrated.
Just a suggestion, although you've probably worked that out already.
PD

Yes, I know but he doesn’t seem v active on it. I sent him a message back in Jan 2020 but he didn’t reply.
Do you remember him, Prof ?

Yes, at Dundee, if memory serves. He was good.
