Dan Webster

Lads a laugh n a good n

Handsome chap with hypnotic eyes

Takes his time

Then leaps and loves you

Wild as any simple child

Present in his presence

Stakes his claim

Then has it at you

Once – he’s got you,

He will hold you

In his admirable expertise

Sways you with a rolling beauty

Lifts you with a sweetness/sureness

Wrings you, flings your heart about

Feel every word

Sing as if we own you - our Dan

As we sing as if we always knew you

We stand, command us, take us there

The Dan Webster Band

 

Dan’s songs

Always felt special

To me and to you

Nustling within us

Letting us live lively

Vocals holding us

Starting anew

Capturing the moment that’s

Welded to our heart

Wonderful, melodic

That hook!

Tucking us into a state of sway

Now! I hear what people say

About rhythm and depth

The beauty that is Clare

Beating our hearts

Freeing our inner rhythm

They say it is all new to them

Now that they’ve heard the album

Haunting your inner you with mastery

Genius guitar we

Are enthralled by

Dynamic eye-dazzling subtlety

Bouncing out of a bundle of beautiful talent

They say he is cute, lovable

Stands out without doubt

Flouting the laws of mundanity

Making raw talent fly free – wonderfully

“We’ve got to go and see him,”

They say, - “Wonderful album”

“He’s so gifted and handsome”

Oh

They are talking about Dom!

And the earlier poem

 

 

 

I often work with this next act

Even though he’s less than half my age

And at his cheeky chappy antics

I, parental, tend to rage

“Don’t do that!”

“Get on with it!”

“Less of your chirpy chat”

Stuff like that

Well, he does go on a bit

But

His songs

Stop you flat

His singing is,

Crystaline

(You can thank Nick for that)

“Brill you are”

“Should be on telly” –

The Hussars audience

Jerry Scott said,

(On BBC radio)

“You

Are gonna be everywhere.”

“Sweet, soulful, melodic,

(Minster FM),

All you could want from a songwriter”

This BBC Award Winner

(Ask him about that later)

“Powerful stuff” His songs

Made a hard-nosed journalist cry

And the guy’s Dad sobbed

An even harder-nosed reporter

From even further up on high

“This is a guy you have just got to see”

“Reflective”

“Thought provoking”

Trouble is, those journalists

Had come to do a write up on me!

 

 Like his CD,

When you listen,

You’ll be lost

Into the maelstrom

Of life, love and music,

You’ll be tossed

Lost

Searching

Feeling

Reaching

If you are looking for a moment

That makes you feel happy,

If it goes on forever

This is it

Look no further

A huger welcome

I love him like a brother

Well OK I act like I’m his Father

Welcome

Dan Webster

 

 “Come one”

“Don’t take all day”

“Get over here”

Raise your arms in the air, smile, while they cheer”
