Lee MacDougall was born and raised in a small seaport town, soon to be distracted by the bright lights and culture of the UK’s capital, he decided to move here. His songs, as he’s more than happy to tell you, could be better described as short stories set to music. You can’t help but be reminded of the sixties’ kitchen sink drama films and books, his songs reflect the lives of everyday people in a brilliantly poetic way. And, like the devious little creatures we are, we managed to get a few more words out of him.
First off, tell me a bit about yourself – how would you describe your music?
I grew up in Grimsby which is a small town in the north of England and I moved down to London a few years ago after I managed to escape one day on the Megabus. People are big on humour and sarcasm in the north, so I guess there’s a bit of that in my songs, and they’re very honest and mostly based on true stories. My album will almost be a diary of a kid leaving home and moving to the big city with 50p in his pocket telling tales about the adventures he had along the way. Musically I think I’m somewhere in between Rod Stewart, The Kinks and The Kooks.
