Soundlink is delighted to announce the world’s first ever Meic Stevens DVD. On July 24th 2007 the man they call ‘the Welsh Bob Dylan’ played his first London gig in over three decades, before a rapturous crowd at the legendary Half Moon. Backed by his long-time band, he treated the audience to classics from his much-loved late 60s EPs and legendary Outlander and Gwymon LPs, as well as more recent material. Ranging from fragile ballads to out-and-out psychedelic rock, the resultant film captures a master singer-songwriter at the top of his game, and is essential viewing for all fans of acid folk.
Don’t just take our word for it (What the papers say..)
‘The psych-folk singer and guitarist is often referred to as the Welsh Dylan, and compared favourably with fellow astral-travellers like Syd Barrett’
– www.allmusic.com
‘An integral part of the Welsh music scene since the beginning of the 1960s. He is a gifted guitarist and can perform as a soloist as brilliantly as with his band’

• Lost acid folk classic

• Detailed booklet with intro from Meic Stevens
• Rarely-heard follow-up to Outlander
When his classic Outlander LP failed to break through in 1970, Meic Stevens’ major label days were over. Gwymon (‘Seaweed’), his legendary second LP, was recorded on his own terms in London in the summer of 1972, and highlights his pop sensibilities, with folk and blues influences also to the fore. It was only released in Wales in a tiny pressing, and has barely been heard since. Shortly after its recording Meic moved to France, where he spent much of the rest of the decade in exile. The album makes its long-awaited CD debut here, complete with two bonus tracks, a detailed booklet featuring rare photos and an introduction from the man himself, making it an essential purchase for all fans of psychedelic singer-songwriting.
