Despite the fact that Guillemots never quite capitalised on their potential to be come the next big thing - there was so much early promise on the likes of ‘Made Up Love Song #43’ and ‘Trains to Brazil’ - it apparently hasn’t stopped Fyfe Dangerfield from either working prodigiously with a slew of bands, or indeed from remaining a commercially-viable proposition in his own right; his debut solo album, Fly Yellow Moon, charted at number twelve in the UK, four years after Guillemots released their debut. Dangerfield himself had always popped up and played the odd solo show, usually consisting of stripped-back Guillemots takes, but this saw him step out under his own (superb) name for the first time. He played a run of intimate dates across the UK in support of the album; sharp-suited and switching between guitar and piano throughout, he ran through Guillemots favourites as well as most of Fly Yellow Moon, backed by a full band for most of the evening. He’s currently playing bass with Slow Club, so don’t expect fresh activity any time soon; when he’s off the road, though, he might return to his own work, with Guillemots apparently on the back burner for the time being.
