JANUARY 2012

Greetings and a Happy New Year!

Things are hotting up in the Vingoe camp and playing the first show of 2012 with the wonderful Emily Baker and House of Hats was a great way to start the New Year. I have started playing with some wonderful musicians in James David Smith and Mark Strains who are from the excellent band Peanut Albinos. We are planning to do some recording and video stuff soon but in the meantime if you didn't make the gig there is a small taster over at the new Youtube channel which looks quite a lot lke this

SEPT 2011

Playing at Pup Aid in Stanmer park on the 18th. A boutique festival created by TV vet Marc Abraham to increase awareness and stop Puppy Farming in the Uk, all proceeds going to charity. Some great bands playing including Autumn Red, Los Albertos, the Common Tongues, Bitter Ruin and Elsie. Celebrity supporters will be there and of course lots of dogs. Check the website out here www.pupaid.org

MAY 2011

We had a brilliant time touring in Germany, big thanks to all the German people who came out to see us and made our trip so special. You can find a lot of tour photos (really must edit those) at www.facebook.com/conradvingoemusic. Hope to see you all again soon.

In the meantime and always bang up to date (ahem) there is now a video up on Youtube for my song Flatlining. The video was shot by Lem Lattimer in New York last year. It was done in one take walking over Brooklyn Bridge. Scorcese eat your heart out.

AUGUST 2010

Just came back from a California (via New York) tour to promote the new album Simple Secrets. It was an incredible experience for me and thanks to all those who came out, supported and helped out. Some pretty crazy times and good times. You can check out some tour pics over at Facebook. English tour dates will be arriving soon and of course Simple Secrets is now available through many digital retailers and Cds are available from this website, Amazon and in Rounder and Resident records in Brighton. Cheers

Conrad

Simple Secrets Reviews

"Dreamy, 1970s-inspired folk"-Time Out

"Conrad Vingoe seems to have produced this summer’s definitive soundtrack…swinging with a kind of effortlessness which suggests Vingoe could do this forever" -The Skinny

"Delicate strumming accompanies Vingoe’s vocal which is notable" – Subba-cultcha.com

9/10 - Ark Magazine

"Conrad Vingoe’s output on “Simple Secrets” is more in keeping with stateside artists such as Great Lake Swimmers, Monsters Of Folk and Ryan Adams."- XYZ Magazine

"Folk music has been dragged the wrong way in recent years, and Conrad Vingoe embodies the simplistic ideals that have been lost… With Simple Secrets you are treated to something not just of beauty, but a brief look into the heart and soul of a man." - Audio Scribbler

“Amidst a large crowd of 1970's-influenced singer-songwriters, Conrad Vingoe stands out more than most” - Leonard’s Lair

“Delicate but sleek finger-picked acoustics at odds with his solid-but-emotional vocal talents”.- Rock Midgits

“Great piece of work” Jeff Hemmings – The Latest Magazine

JULY 2010

The track "Flatlining" was playlisted by Ark magazine in July.
