Richard Dawson shares video for “Dead Dog In An Alleyway”

After what has been an outstanding year for Richard Dawson, he now releases the video for “Dead Dog in an Alleyway”. The animated video is directed by Ewan Jones Morris and reflects the powerful portrayal of sleeping rough conjured by Dawson's evocative and startling lyrics. The track is taken from 2020, Dawson’s sixth solo record, and one that has already been widely recognised in Album of the Year lists.

Additionally, Richard Dawson has confirmed further UK and European live dates for next year; having previously announced a special one-off and now sold out Delight Is Right event at London’s Barbican in March, headline shows have now been added across Europe with a further UK run now confirmed for May. More details on the tour can be found below.

Richard Dawson 2020

Album | 11th October 2019

2020 is the sixth solo album from Richard Dawson, the black-humoured bard of Newcastle. The album is an utterly contemporary state-of-the-nation study that uncovers a tumultuous and bleak time. Here is an island country in a state of flux; a society on the edge of mental meltdown.
