NEM#250: Bill Pritchard the Tourist

Bill is a singer/songwriter who recorded five albums of catchy tunes between 1989 and 1991, then retired but came back a vengeance in 2014. He’s now just released his 13th album, Haunted , and we talk about “Perpetual Tourist” and listen at the end to the title track from that, “Trentham” from A Trip to the Coast (2014) and “Pigalle on a Tuesday is Charming” from Parce Que (1988). Intro: “Tommy & Co,” from Three Months, Three Weeks and Two Days (1989). More at billprichardmusic.com . Despite being British and very well settled in Stoke-on-Trent, he works with a German producer/label, has collaborated with multiple French musicians (and sometimes sings in French), and writes a lot about various cities, as exemplified by our second and third selections.

For more French, here’s one of the Daniel Darc tunes from their 1899 album together (the one that comes right before “Pigalle”). Watch the video for “Trentham.” Here’s “ Lille ,” the single from the new album that we nearly included in this episode. Listen to “ Grey Parade ,” a song from his very first album with heaps of synths. Here’s a video from his 2016 album Mother Town Hall . Watch him and his band live in 2008 .
