Glyn Bailey
Glyn Bailey is a singer-songwriter from Lancashire, originally from the north of England and now based in Spain. He is associated with the grain division and has released six albums, including Testament, which he makes available for free download from his website. His recorded output is also offered as free downloads, with physical CD copies available separately.
Background and influences
From an early age, Bailey develops an interest in storytelling, melodic writing and carefully constructed lyrics. He recalls an early musical memory of hearing Frank Sinatra records on the family stereogram. Later influences include The Beatles, Marc Bolan and David Bowie. A reel-to-reel tape recorder given to him for his 10th birthday leads to a lasting interest in the recording process.
Writing style and themes
Bailey’s songs often explore contradictions and complexities in life. He shifts perspective between protagonist, victim and observer, and his lyrics frequently combine dark cynicism with wry humour.
Other work and online presence
He also creates videos, which appear on his YouTube page. His website includes music downloads and social media links, and he invites listeners to get in touch if they enjoy the music.
