Scots singer Dylan John Thomas talks debut album and insuring his iconic hair
09.01.2024 - 12:49 / dailyrecord.co.uk
This is going to be Dylan John Thomas’s year. In 2023, he sold out the Glasgow Barrowland – three times.
Not bad for someone who used to busk outside it.
And that’s before the release of his self-titled debut album on January 26 and a main stage performance at TRNSMT in the summer.
No wonder he calls a gig at Glasgow SWG3 Galvanisers on January 29 intimate.
How was the three nights at Barras?
It’s mental. To go from busking outside it to playing three nights where I grew up – it’s hard to describe. It doesn’t get much better than that. You’re trying to play to the best of your ability while trying to understand what’s going on. In the moment you’re filled with the adrenaline and the buzz of being there. It’s a mixture of emotions, trying to take it in but you’re also blown away by the fact that it’s happening.
You’ve toured a lot in the rest of the UK now – how’s that going and how does it compare to home audiences?
We’re in a great place with touring because we’ve got more songs out now for people to sing and the shows up and down the country are at the point where we’re in bigger venues. We turn up and it feels like a proper show as opposed to early on. It’s special to play in Scotland, the crowds are mental, and you can never hear yourself on stage.
DJT curly wigs are very popular at your shows – have you got your hair insured and would you ever get it cut or are your curls your trademark?
It’s a funny sight from the stage. If anything happens to my hair I’ll be on the first plane to Turkey.
Are you nervous about releasing your debut album?
I’m buzzing for it to finally be out – there are some songs we’ve been sitting on for the last year or so and it’ll be great to play them live.
You are known for your live shows. How
