Singers, solo and acoustic artists in Leicester

Dan White

Dan White is an unusual but much admired singer, whose unique brand of image and performance has earned him a considerable reputation in Leicester.

As a singer songwriter, Dan has produced a variety of songs, some of which reflect his highly ideosyncratic folk, comedy style. Dan competed in the Leicester acoustic competition in 2008, where he progressed through to the finals. He placed 10th in the runners' up section but won The Arts in Leicestershire award for best stage performance.

The music of Dan white is based mainly on shocking the audience through lude and perhaps immature subjects. He takes the listener into everyday situations with a surreal twist which is usually revealed in the chorus. Thus leading them into a false sense of security and pushing the line where some folk musicians dare not go.

Along with his comedy songs there are songs of a more serious tone. These include 'David' which was written for a close friend who lost his life in a motorcycle accident. Another song that has received good reviews is 'Empty' touching on the sensitive area of suicide.

'Geoffrey Taylor' is one of Dan's best loved songs telling the story of a tramp who through various situations has managed to destroy everything he ever had. A music video was directed for this song by media student Lewis Barnes, which can be found on you tube.
