The end of 2011 saw Adrian travelling to South East Asia, making new friendships and discovering new cultures. Travelling both near and far has always been a constant source of inspiration for Adrian’s songwriting and this has continued to be the case. Now signed to Northern Lights Music, talks are underway to begin work on the next Adrian Nation album and fans can expect another collection of songs encompassing Adrian’s recent journeys, both at home, in Europe and further afield. Some songs which are certain to be included on the album may well be familiar to some fans who have heard Adrian perform them at shows over the past year including The Dying of Democracy and Answers. A potential producer is already in discussions with Northern Lights Music and we hope to announce that soon. ‘East Anglian singer Adrian Nation is tall and at a guess, is probably regarded by women as rather handsome. If the film industry had got to him before the music industry did, he’d possibly have cornered the market in playing Saxon kings.’ Martin Newell, Suffolk Life ….and not before time! Adrian has been signed by Northern Lights Music based in Newcastle. He has a 3 year composite deal involving Management, Recording, and Publishing. Kevin Daley, Director of Northern Lights Music, enthuses: “Adrian is now an adopted Geordie! He has gigged around the North East for a few years now, and we’ve had the pleasure of his company at several events such as Salute Our Heroes at The Sage Gateshead, Durham Cathedral Remembrance Service, Rothbury Roots Festival, Bellingham Festival, and recently Alnwick Castle. He’ll be back again in September to perform in a concert at The Cluny with Vicki Guillory in aid of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation. “Adrian has worked hard for a long time under the radar, and as a truly organic artiste he has never sought overnight success. His songs strike a chord with like-minded people, and his guitar playing is mesmerizing so he has a strong musician following. “We’re delighted to be involved in Adrian’s lifelong music career and look forward to raising his profile on the national and international stage. I’ll be personally travelling around with him quite a lot and look forward to meeting the growing number of people that appreciate the man, his recordings, and his performances.” May 15th saw Adrian taking part at the Big Scary Face Show at Royston Heath, Cambridgeshire, a one day mini-fest organised to raise funds or UNICEF. There were some big names on the bill such as Paul Moran, Van Morrison’s keyboard player and musical director. Also there with his band The Rodford Files was Jim Rodford, legendary bass player with The Kinks, founder member of Argent and who has also done his time with The Animals and The Zombies. Quite a pedigree! But Jim certainly has an ear for acoustic music too, after hearing Adrian’s set he said “This guy is just fantastic, in fact world class.” You can now follow Adrian on Twitter by going to www.twitter.com/adriananation This Thursday the 3rd of March Adrian will be performing a live session on BBC Bristol during the afternoon show with Peter Rowell ahead of his gig at The Futures Inn later in the evening.
