Dylan John Thomas live at The Great Escape Festival 2023 (Graham Noble for Live4ever)
Dylan John Thomas leads off our coverage from this year’s Great Escape Festival.
Dylan John Thomas, Lemonade Shoelace, Amy Montgomery, Wynona, ARXX and The Joy Hotel are all part of our highlights from the Thursday at last week’s Great Escape Festival.
Thomas is now on his second EP after he told Live4ever during an exclusive interview how lockdown had presented such huge challenges to an up-and-coming artists.
“One of the things that became difficult during the lockdown was to gauge when to release songs,” he said.
“All we wanted to do was to be able to play them live. Most people listen to songs at a concert. In the middle of lockdown, we were going, ‘What’s the point in doing a song if we don’t actually know when we’re going to be back?’.”
That’s what makes it more special. The TRNSMT set…three weeks before that I was stuck in my house playing FIFA for a year. We only rehearsed for the last week! The amount of gratitude I have towards anything to do with music…actually, not even to do with music, just being able to go for a meal with your pals.
