.. BIOG BBC Music Live described Birmingham singer songwriter Aaron Yorke as a ”songsmith of soaring vocals and sensitively crafted tunes” World unlimited said “"it's very much heart on sleeve time for this talented singer songwriter.... well worth trying to catch live" Hailing from a suburb of Britain’s longtime underrated second city, Aaron Yorke is rapidly becoming one of the most talked about singer-songwriters in Britain today. Having slogged it out performing his own unique style of alternative acoustic/piano based songs for years, he became the talk of Birmingham in late 2007 after winning “Best unplugged act” on the Midlands based commercial FM station, BRMB. “I’ve been doing the same thing for the best part of a decade!” Aaron modestly quipped whilst backstage at last years Children In Need performance. “Its only recently that my phone’s started ringing a little more, I don’t know maybe I’ve finally figured how to actually pen songs that the kids seem to like?!”. Yorke’s debut album ‘Taking The Time to Heal’ received critical acclaim throughout 2007. The album emotes brutal honesty with its author never being afraid to project exactly what he has learned about the human condition. Since its release in late 2006, Aaron has been compared to Tom Baxter, Damien Rice, David Gray and the emerging Newton Faulkner. With his new found confidence and unshakable belief Aaron and his band hit the road in 2007 and toured relentlessly. Continuing to produce himself, Yorke, alongside the accomplished pairing of Alex Reynolds (drums) and Ian Michaels (guitar) started work on a new studio project and it was the result of this one week session that set the foundation for what happened next. The effortless session culminated in a new EP entitled “To Feel Alive”. A handful of copies of this new offering were passed to Yorke’s trusted network of friends in promotion, regional radio and media. Less than a week after the new recordings were mastered in Yorke’s home studio, the Midlander received a call from BRMB telling him he had made the finals of a regional airplay competition. Aaron received a landslide victory from the public and won the competition hands down. Since winning the Best Unplugged Act 2007, Aaron performed an outstanding solo acoustic show on BBC’s Children In Need 2007 show which grabbed more rave reviews when he performed alongside David Gray, Annie Lennox and Kylie Minogue. The loyal songsmith, who remains a fervently unsigned act, also concluded a great 2007 by performing alongside McFly, the Sugababes, Scouting For Girls and Leona Lewis to a packed out audience in his home city of Birmingham at the city’s 2007 Christmas lights show. The Songwriter Cafe confidently said "You will remember these songs"; Aaron is an act who will most definately stand out in 2008.
