Solo acoustic guitar with effects and vocals. As well as playing my own music i have spent the last 2 or 3 years touring with Vashti Bunyan as her guitarist. Debut album "Spruce Goose" was released in 2005. Since then i have released music with Drifting Falling, Lo Recordings, Benbecula Records, Polymorphic and Unlabel among others. I have toured supporting Juana Molina, Paul Curreri and Isobel Campbell with Mark Lanegan as well as playing one off shows supporting Alasdair Roberts, Adrian Crowley, Greg Davis, Keith Fullerton Whitman and Schneider TM. I also played some guitar on Juana Molina's last album and on a Max Richter film soundtrack.
"From Glasgow, this beautiful music arrived in June 2005. A solo artist singing and playing acoustic guitar - sometimes effected, his songs slip between a beautifully sparse, emotive fragility (recalling Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, etc.) and denser instrumentals (recalling Eno or Labradford). Very cool stuff." Fatcat Records.
"Where Dickson excels is with his unique use of the guitar as a sound making body. A glorious object in which to explore rich landscapes, the drone in song, and acoustic ambience. This is beautiful music, music in the act of levitation, a ghostly presence; almost tangible but never within reach." Mark Harwood for Polymorphic Music
"His voice, employed intermittently, is hushed and melancholy, almost an afterthought to his playing which is gently exploratory, extremely calming and fascinatingly tentative with the sounds of the studio such as the creak of a chair becoming much a part of the overall tapestry. This is one of the loveliest modern acoustic works I've heard and the fact that I'm taking one home to soothe my weary post bank holiday bonce tells you I heartily recommend its magical purity. Collected Recordings is on Drifting Falling." Norman Records Distribution
