A singer-songwriter hailing from Wigan in the North of England, Simon is now based in the deep south of the country.
Indie-folkie (sometimes protest-ie) songs draw on relatable stories & contemporary social themes, occasionally with kitchen-sink drama narratives, wry lyrics & reflections on Simon’s northern roots.
Melancholy melodies, social commentary, together with catchy and uplifting tunes reflect the influences of the likes of Billy Bragg, The Smiths, Martin Stephenson, Paul Heaton, Frank Turner and John Bramwell.
Latest EP, The Elusive Truth, - with the first single, Josef K, released on 12 July & the EP in August - features for the first time the full People Like Us band line-up.
The EP title echoes themes which run through the EP including the title track, Josef K, Two Legs Better (now dubbed the “Liz Song” by many) & Do As I Say. Careful What You Wish For’s up-tempo all out indie-jangle contrasts with the acoustic Office Conversations which contemplates the familiarity, mundanity & strangeness of workaday life. Joy Division on the Radio’s nostalgic love letter to the North has produced nods of recognition from audiences in Manchester and beyond - “no real ale pubs just creative hubs”. But then, who doesn’t like a craft beer and a fair-trade frothy coffee?
People Like Us are:
Simon Maggs - guitars, bass & vocals
Chris Bluemel - violin & keys
Gary Winstanley - guitar
Kev Smith - bass
Mike Vaughan - drums & keys
