Mr Mangan: Back to Blighty
Back in November 2009, Canadian Dan Mangan played to a packed crowd at The Lexington. Dan that night was only playing solo acoustic but was easily able to captivate the audience with his well crafted folk tinged songs. Those who were present will remember the sawing chorus to ‘Robots’ which the audience happily sung in unison. Well, good news Mr Mangan is back, returning to the UK to play The Lexington for the Canadian Blast festival (see flyer below). It was also a great pleasure to see Dan Mangan on the bill for the John Peel Stage at this year’s Glastonbury Festival. To play the John Peel State at Glastonbury is a great honour for any artist and testament that Dan is making a deserved impression on the British public. Dan Mangan’s 2009 album ‘Nice Nice Very Nice’ is a 13 track strong album of mature sing –a-long contemporary folk anthems that is well worth a listen. The prospect of seeing Dan backed by his full band, who are chart toppers in their native Canada, on the Glastonbury stage is extremely exciting for any music lover.
