Biography

Born in Doncaster, England, Patrick's upbringing was nomadic to say the least. The son of a journalist and a piano teacher the family would live in eight different towns, five cities and three countries before he'd reach the age of seven. They settled for a short time on the outskirts of Manchester where Patrick began playing guitar and writing songs, by the time he was eleven an obsession with music was deep rooted. At eighteen a near fatal accident left him hospitalised for over 4 months and unable to walk for almost a year, through discomfort he was still able to work on his music. Patrick spent the 1990's in various bands on the Manchester circuit, culminating with some success playing support slots at some of the UK's most renowned venues. The groups recording however was limited to demoing for various major labels and Briscoe decided to return to being a solo musician. In the relatively short time as a solo artist he has already supported musicians such as Jose Gonzalez and Scott Matthews.

By Cypress Grove 03 Nov 2007 06:21 AM Reply “There's something in Briscoe's deeply melancholic timbre that recalls Talk Talk's Mark Hollis, and his penchant for building songs slowly rather than attacking a chorus is something to be treasured. ... his style as his lyrics are so informed by nature and the elements, you're aware that there are powerful forces guiding him.” The Big Issue
