Dan Gregory “Acoustic Dan”

Belfast treasure Daniel Gregory, AKA Acoustic Dan. Be warned, Dan’s music is not for the faint-hearted – if you’re of a delicate disposition, there could be moments when you might want to cover your ears. But be assured, behind the gruff exterior and eye-watering profanity, beats the heart of a sensitive poet. His songs are by turn, beautifully crafted character sketches, perfectly romantic vignettes of the sometimes seedy side of Belfast life, and didactic fables with an underlying message of universal love. Prepare to laugh ‘til you’re sore one minute and maybe shed a tear the next – he’s a star.
