BELOW - KARL IS ROCKING ON DYLAN'S FLOOR (21/05/11) (Story By Rachel Dearden as Featured In The Lancashire Evening Post on Saturday 21 May 2011)
Now Preston musician Karl Eland will fulfill a lifelong ambition to follow in the footsteps of his musical hero Bob Dylan and play at the world famous Troubadour Club in London. Karl, 34, says the gig on June 1 is a step up the musical ladder after a year of recording his own material. Karl, of Brook Street, Fulwood, said: “I’m a big fan of American singer/songwriters such as Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, and for me without Bob Dylan they would never have happened - he started the whole thing. “To play my own songs on the same stage in exactly the same spot as he stood all those years ago performing those early classic tracks of his will be great, a real honour.”
But it was in December 1962, on his first trip outside America, that Bob Dylan graced the famous stage. For Karl the Troubadour is the next step. He says: “I have always wanted to play there because of the Bob Dylan connection. He is one of my heroes.
“I played at the Cavern in Liverpool a few years ago where the Beatles played their early gigs, so this will complete the picture for me.” Karl has been performing music since he was 16 and began writing his own songs about 5 years ago. Last year he released his debut download single ‘Back in the Day’ as part of a 3 track EP which was aired on radio stations in the UK, the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Germany. Today
Karl has a global following and over the last 12 months his fan
base has grown to 150,000 with MySpace pages worldwide. KARL TO PLAY WORLD FAMOUS 'TROUBADOUR CLUB' ON JUNE 1ST (26/04/11)

OVER CAVERN GIG (1/9/06) |

I
am pleased to announce that one of the best live music venues in
London - Proud Camden - have offered me a weekend residency playing
each Saturday in the Garden Terrace.
Karl will be appearing on BBC Radio on Tuesday night (24/05/11)
on the John Barnes Late Show to talk about his forthcoming gig at
the Troubadour, the first venue that Bob Dylan ever played in London.
He
has played on a stage where The Beatles performed and shared a bill
with Echo and the Bunnymen.
First
opening in 1954 as a coffee house and folk venue, the Troubadour
has remained at the centre of the London music scene, with performances
by Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Elvis Costello and Led
Zeppelin, and more recently Paulo Nutini, Jamie T and Morcheeba.
“For
this gig I’m going to play solo, just me and an acoustic guitar,
the way that Dylan first started playing early in his career
On
June 1st (a Wednesday) I will be playing an acoustic set at the
world famous Troubadour Club in London's Earls Court. 
My
track, 'Where The Ocean Meets The Sky' is to be featured on Radio
Caroline. 
Where
the Ocean Meets the Sky
I’m
releasing another single in early May in the UK/US charts but not
sure which one to release, so I am asking people to have a listen
to my album demo and let me know which one they think should be
the new single. 
On
my way into London centre this morning, having some photo’s
taken today and then I’m playing a short set in Hammersmith
later on at ‘The Sunday Acoustic Sessions at Belushis.’
Hi,
It looks like a nice day in London so I'm playing a couple of 45
minute sets down by the river at Southbank near the Millennium Wheel
this afternoon (30th October).
I'm
back in London for a few weeks, having some new photos done, and
gonna be doing some acoustic gigs round and about London.
