Granfalloon

Granfalloon (AKA Richard Lomax) is a Manchester-based songwriter and producer who has been constantly creating since 2003. After spending some time making avant-garde music in the north of England, where he made his creative home, he cut his teeth fronting surf rock bands and the anarchic folk collective Johnny5thWheel&thecowards, then Lomax moved to Manchester in 2013.

Granfalloon was born after an operation in 2017 left Lomax with temporarily limited mobility. While in recovery, he recorded the debut Granfalloon album, Down There For Dancing, with drum machines, an Omnichord, and a guitar.

The second album, RGB was released in 2019 to positive reviews, and support from BBC Introducing and BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson ("My kind of artist".)

Lomax first embarked on writing songs for a proposed year-long journal in 2014… a maddening yet rewarding journey which documented the fever dream of a chaotic year in the form of fifty-two pieces of music.

Almost 10 years after its initial conception Lomax is about to release Calendar - Chapter II as a collaboration with fellow songwriter Lobelia. Chapter II is the follow up to 2022’s Volume I album, taking those fifty-two ramblings, ideas, half baked thoughts and overcooked dreams and turning them into what will become a trio of albums.
