Dean Mcmullen: ‘Part Two’ Album Release Show

**Dean McMullen** celebrates the release of his deeply personal second album, *Part Two*, with a special hometown show raising money for Parkinson’s UK. Exeter-based songwriter Dean McMullen celebrates the release of his second solo album, Part Two, with a very special hometown performance at 12 Bar Music & Social. Sitting somewhere between indie, folk and alternative songwriting, Dean’s music is intimate, reflective and quietly resilient-drawing on family, memory, friendship and the strange process of getting older. Written in part about his family’s experience with Parkinson’s disease, Part Two forms part of a wider awareness and fundraising project for Parkinson’s UK. Its central song, The Only Thing, looks back on childhood memories of a dad who could seemingly fix almost anything-except getting sick. The album is Dean’s attempt to turn something difficult and deeply personal into something positive: creating songs that might connect with people facing similar experiences while raising money for families affected by Parkinson’s and research towards a cure. Support comes from Lawi Anywar, opening the evening before Dean’s album-release performance. **All performers are donating their performances. After VAT, booking fees and agreed travel expenses, all remaining ticket income will be donated to Parkinson’s UK**. Presented by 12 Bar Music & Social. This is an 18+ event
