Dean Friedman Tour Dates
American recording artist Dean Friedman returns to the live music scene with a 40+ city tour of UK/Ireland/France to coincide with the release of his new album.
Friedman rose to fame in the late 1970’s with chart hit ‘Ariel’ in the States but may be most fondly remember in the UK for classics such as ‘Lucky Stars’, ‘Ariel’ and ‘Woman of Mine’.
His 40+ concert tour will begin on the 20th April at the Theatre Royal in Wakefield and take in venues such as Brighton Fringe Festival (6th May), Great York Fringe Festival (22nd July), Edinburgh Fringe Festival (10 thru 21 Aug – not 14,15) and including a 2-night run at The Pheasantry[Pizza Express], London (26, 27 May).
This also concurs with Friedman’s new fan-funded album – his first in seven years. As of yet untitled, the projected release date is 15th July 2017 which Friedman himself says “…allows me to add color and shade and texture to those sonic portraits and aural landscapes.”

Wiyaala Releases New Video For Kandibanye + Has Set Up Brand New World Music Festival
Wiyaala, the superstar Ghanaian songstress, often compared to Angelique Kidjo and Grace Jones, has taken a brave step by creating a new annual music festival in the remote town of Wa in the Upper West Region set to take place on the 23rd of December.
Watch the stunning new video for Kandibanye (Had I Known) which was shot in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tac3I23eBNk
Known as the Djimba World Music Festival, the singer aka, the “Young Lioness of Africa” says: “I grew up in the region and it is very under represented. By starting the festival, I hope to shine a light on the music and art that exists in this part of Africa. The north has a wealth of talent which is just not getting seen or heard. The festival is one of a number of steps I’m taking to encourage our musicians to showcase their talent to the world and to attract visitors to come and experience our unique way of life”
The effervescent singer, who will release her second album next year, added she was inspired to start the festival after performing at festivals in Europe including the world famous WOMAD Arts festival. “Glastonbury started with an audience of just 1500 people and I don’t see why we can’t manage at least that number and grow in years to come”
This year, Wiyaala will headline the maiden edition festival along with the Djimba World Band. Other acts appearing include, the traditional musician Stevo Atimbre in the style of the renowned King Ayisoba from the Upper East of Ghana. Reggie artist Jah Bone, local rap acts Samson B and Ghally are amongst the names also on the bill.
The festival takes place on the 23rd December at the Community Centre, Wa, in the Upper West Region of Ghana. Tickets are GHS 10 (£2) VIP (£4).

Last week, Rag’n’Bone Man announced the release of his highly anticipated debut album Human, out on February 10 on Columbia Records / Best Laid Plans. News of the album came as Rory was shortlisted for the prestigious 2017 BRITs Critics’ Choice Award alongside Dua Lipa and Anne-Marie. Having previously been won by the likes of Adele, Sam Smith and Emilie Sande, the winner will be announced on Thursday December 8.
2016 has been an incredible year for Rory. Having been longlisted on the BBC Sound Of Poll last week, he’s also featured as part of Apple Music’s New Artist For 2017 and topped the Google Play Music One’s To Watch list.
His single Human has now been certified Gold in 7 countries, streamed 45 million times and hit the number 1 spot on iTunes in 25 countries. Having been added to all the major radio playlists here in the UK Human is this week’s number 1 trending track in the UK and is currently sitting at number 2 on the iTunes chart.
Watch the official video for Human HERE.
Watch Rory perform Human on Later…with Jools Holland HERE.
Listen to the Rudimental remix of Human HERE.
The phenomenal success of his single Human around the globe follows years of relentless performing for Rory. At the age of just 15 he started rapping in his hometown of Uckfield and then at 19, encouraged by his father, started singing at local blues nights. His combined love for blues and rap soon developed into something bigger, when he joined Brighton’s hip-hop crew The Rum Committee, regularly travelling up to London to play hip-hop nights in Brixton. The releases of his Blues Town, Wolves and Disfigured EPs earned him huge crowds across the country, firming a dedicated fan base incredibly early on in his career.
