DECLAN WELSH AND THE DECADENT WEST

  • Komedia Studio, Brighton

Declan Welsh, frontman and namesake of one of Scotland’s most exciting fledgling bands, is a songwriter, musician and poet from Glasgow. Together with his band The Decadent West (Duncan McBride, Ben Corlett and Murray Noble), they have been making waves in the Scottish, and indeed the wider UK, music community since their debut EP ‘All My Dreams are Dull’ was released in 2018.

With influences such as Arctic Monkeys, Amazing Snakeheads, Courtney Barnett, Pulp and Billy Bragg, Welsh has been compared to Joe Strummer due to his biting lyrics and vocals, and the Punky nature of some of his songs.
