- About Polytunnel
Charming. Soothsayer. A Canny Chanter.
Richard Dawson announces his new album ‘End of the Middle’, set for release on Friday 14 February 2025. Following his ambitious 2022 release The Ruby Cord, Dawson takes a more intimate approach, crafting a stripped-back collection that explores family dynamics across generations. The album’s first single “Polytunnel” showcases this new direction, presenting a deceptively simple tale of gardening that hints at deeper themes.
Written in his allotment shed overlooking the Tyne valley, ‘End of the Middle’ reflects Dawson’s desire to “be small-scale and very domestic.” To celebrate the release, Dawson will perform at The Glasshouse in May, the perfect setting to experience these carefully crafted new songs in their full, stripped-back glory.
