Darren Hayman
Green Note Ltd, Green Note, NW1 7AN , [Venue Details]Darren Hayman presents a 15 year anniversary show looking back at Essex Arms, his second in a trilogy of albums about his home county of Essex.
While the opening album of the trilogy (Pram Town, 2006) dealt with the displacement and ennui of living in a new town (Harlow), and The Violence (2012) rolled back the years to visit the 17th century Essex Witch Trials, 2010s Essex Arms is a conceptual piece about the East Anglian rural underbelly.
Best known as the singer-songwriter of the phenomenally successful and much-loved Hefner, Darren Hayman is now 15 years, and over 14 albums, into an increasingly idiosyncratic career path, where he has taken a singular and erratic route through England’s tired and heartbroken underbelly. Darren is also writing the best tunes of his career; increasingly complex and mature songs, he is a thoughtful, concise and detailed songwriter.
Hayman’s first two solo albums, Table For One (2006) and The Secondary Modern (2007), charmed the critics – with The Guardian opining that Hayman’s profoundly English songwriting was “the match of Ray Davies”. Mostly joined by his band The Secondary Modern – a loose, urban folk collective, underpinning Hayman’s concrete sorrow with rural violins and tired pianos – he has released a series of albums, largely focused on place.
