The standout British solo artist of the last fifteen years for me.
Two triffic albums, fucked off.
Saw him in a local pub a few years back.
Stephen Fretwell
Ooh, I remember that name. I absolutely loved a song of a band called National Forest which he sung on, called Folk. I bought an ep of his afterwards, but it wasn’t even as remotely amazing as Folk. Am listening to that song now for the first one in 10+ years and still enjoying it!
really enjoyed the early EPS (when his voice was bizarrely high) and loved magpie
Thought the second album was hit and miss with a few great songs on it
then he vanished.
See, i prefer the energy of the second record. The first has the more memorable songs, like.
He went to live in Lisbon for a couple of years, did two shows at Night and Day out of the blue, then that was that.
from wiki - ha!
Fretwell disappeared sometime in 2014. His whereabouts are currently unknown, although it is widely believed that a talent as prolific as him will make a comeback, perhaps as soon as 2018.
