One of the foremost songwriters and performers of his generation

Allan left his home town of Brighton at the age of 21 to become part of London’s vibrant folk scene – and never looked back. He has since travelled the world, growing in experience and stature and is now hailed as one of the foremost songwriters and performers of his generation. His songs have been covered by artists ranging from Don Williams to Fairport Convention and Nana Mouskouri and his own performances are laced with tales from the road – and the expertise he gathered while gaining a Ph.D on songwriting.
