Farryl Purkiss - Farryl Purkiss (Sheer/2Feet)
Text: Miles Masterson
Talented singer/songwriters are popping up all over the shop. Some may crack it big, others might not survive beyond their first album. But South African Farryl Purkiss is likely to be around for a long time.
He is a superb acoustic guitarist and his licks are catchy and refreshing. The highly personal lyrics complement a distinctively mellow acoustic sound.
My favourite track is the more up-tempo ‘Ducking and Diving’, but the other thirteen are all booming as well.
Farryl Purkiss: remember this name.
