Marc Brierley (born 9 October 1944) is an English singer songwriter who was active as a performing musician between 1965 and 1973.
[5] In 1965, on the encouragement of Bert Jansch, Marc became a regular at Les Cousins folk club in Greek Street London, playing alongside regular performers such as John Renbourn, Sandy Denny, Al Stewart and Trevor Lucas.
[11] Since the key recordings have been re-issued, Rob Hatch-Miller wrote in his review, "The anthology gives the listener a good idea of Marc Brierley's brilliant musical evolution, from his early days as a straight-faced Dylanite singer-songwriter, to the whimsical and slightly psychedelic folk pop of his later work ... a long overdue introduction to a unique and remarkable artist whose music is more than worthy of a prime spot in the folk-rock canon".
[9] Brierley's work has continued to resonate: "His reputation has never stopped growing, however, and a recent CD retrospective has given him a far wider audience than before.
"[12] Marc Brierley gave his first full length live performance since 1973 on 24 January 2018 at the Betsey Trotwood, Clerkenwell, London.
