Sneak previews of every track from Dedi Madden's upcoming album "The Final Man". 

Final Man Trailer

A hint of Kirsty MaColl in Denise’s delivery and unselfconsciously gorgeous, sparing, harmonies, much beloved of The Beach Boys.  

Denise Black - lead vocal, Graeme Taylor - acoustic guitar, mandolin, bass and harmony vocals, Dedi Madden - lead and harmony vocals, Ben Grove - acoustic and leslie guitars, Michael Gregory - drums and shaker. Song by Paul Sand. 

Fall In Love Ev'ry Day

The Black-Taylor partnership delivers a real gem in the form of ‘I Hear You’, deserved of a home in the repertoire of any self-respecting acoustic troubadour, its delicate auto harp and guitar dancing along the edge between Folk and Pop.

Denise Black - lead vocal, Graeme Taylor - acoustic and electric guitars and harmony vocals, Dedi Madden - harmony vocals. Song by Black and Taylor.

I Hear You

Based on Ella Fitzgerald’s love of a stunning frock, ‘Stopping Traffic’ opens with the accordion of Alan Dunn, East End pugilist and sometime Bob Geldof and Rolf Harris accompanist, Taylor seemingly relishing ‘giving it some’ on electric guitar.

Stopping Traffic

From the opening notes of ‘I Don’t Forget’ it is easy to accept why Denise told the Edinburgh Fringe News that pedal steel player and old busking partner Max Moonlight ‘s playing “makes your hand stand on end”. Max learnt to make the pedal steel sing 20 years ago. He can be found busking on the streets of Oxford. This song is one  of the albums’ highlights.



I Don't Forget

‘Blokes’ – with Denise’s  “ I wanted love, but Ken talks dirty” opening exclamation - illustrates just one example of her canny self-observation, this time, perusing on the subject of men and an observation that is both playful and wistful. 

Blokes and Their Attentions

This is a rehearsal mp3 so far from perfect, but there's a real magic in the room when a new song first starts to come together  Graeme Taylor and Dedi Madden on guitars and vocals, Andy Dewar on percussion, Denise Black on autoharp and lead vox
