Beautiful Days - Greg McDonald live

Greg McDonald performing on the main stage at Beautiful Days Festival in Devon, August 2009.

The gig sees Greg taking to the stage with a band featuring Seymour Patrick, Mat Anthony, Bob Halliwell, Kit McDonald and Emily Jukes.

Shot and edited by Henry DC Williams.

Special thanks to Chris Patton.

Greg McDonald is a London streetfolk songwriter Rolling Stone calls a poetic genius. A once-in-a-generation lyricist in the Dylan mould, Q magazine recently awarded McDonalds debut album Stranger at the Door its highest ever rating for a self-release - despite it being recorded above a South London corner shop for a grand total of £45.

But its blasting out the loud-n-proud street-folk anthems on new album Reclaim the Night - an electric melee of punk energy, indie guitars, massed harmonies and English folk eccentricity concocted with Radiohead producer Chris Brown - that McDonalds at his impassioned best.
