Faithless...
words by Stuart Stubbs
The final track on ‘Faithless-ness’ is called ‘You’ve Never Heard Of Me’, and you probably haven’t. Because despite being in countless bands over the past 15 years, John Parkes won over John Peel but few others. ‘Faithlessness’ shows what a shame that is by being a collection of stripped down, humble and, in places, brilliant folk songs. If there ever was a time for Parkes to break through further than the binds of Radio 4, it’s with this record.
