Newcastle vocalist, stomping guitar shredder and storyteller Richard Dawson is gaining attention for his powerful voice and brutal ballads. He's appeared on the cover of The Wire magazine, and secured a deal with Domino imprint, Weird World - also home to Kody Neilson’s project, Silicon.
Currently on tour as part of the Audio Foundation’s Alt Music series, Richard pops into the Music 101 for a live session and a chat with Emma Smith.
