Dan Ashton
Singer / Songmaker
NEW ALBUM release - Spring 2027
Songs of love loss and country life
In his songs Dan uses natural imagery drawn in from his life in the wilds of Northumberland.
Expect the bees he keeps and collie dog he roams the hills with to be used to help convey songs of love, loss and childhood memories. The songs are original sounding and though quite personal in nature they are remarkably relatable.
Once described as an ‘untypical songwriter’
"You were an absolute asset to the fayre, and your music sounded particularly good outside... it seems to complement the Northumbrian air and your music carries on the breeze. You were fantastic, and my daughter said the song about the sandcastles was really beautiful."
The House of Love Always Wins
If you gamble with love and steal hearts, one day you'll lose the person you truly care about and be made to pay back everything you stole. Because the House of Love in the end always wins.
A Bolt from the Blue
A rural house in a remote place can seem bleak, especially in the colder months. A woman can turn a house into a home, make it feel warmer, and chase shadows away. But if she leaves, the house can seem even more empty and cold than before she came.
Collies on a Quad Bike
Farm workers bombing down the country lanes on quad bikes with a couple of collies on the back — always amazed they don't fall off with the apparent speed and bumpiness of the roads.
