Popis - SCRAP-BOOK BALLADS VOL. 1:
Robert James Selby has the kind of voice that both comforts and excites. You get the feeling you’re listening to something important and even better than that; you feel included. lucie barat ..little episodes “Robert James Selby, a man with an Orwellian heart and an Oscar Wilde esque tongue. These comparisions may conjour up a quintessential gentleman born in the wrong era, but his music has a moden twist. Ever present witty and erudite lyrics that make even the most mundane and humdrum activites seem beautiful and gracious. Romantic and hedonistc, armed with his trusty acoustic guitar his timeless music needs to be heard, either at a debauched live gig or on your own, accompanied with a bottle of whiskey and a sense of desolation. ” matt barnes …roundhouse radio ROBERY JAMES SELBY A bard with a heart, Robert Selby resurrects England’s lost folk tales in solo song, as he previously did with his band the Penny Ballads.

The encapsulating lyricist has been taking the post-bohemian, reverently romantic London scene by storm. Amidst the chaos of his intemperance lies the almost reticent and modest beauty of his music: a touching, melodic malady of life, love, death and everything in between”. gigwise Another of our favourites is Robert James Selby, he’s got poetry in his nature and it comes out in his music and performances. He’s always got a big following with him and he’s a Gold Bug regular so come down and check him out. Adam Masterson….. musician and promoter of Gold Bug Scrap-book vol.1 is a ....
