Songdog is a vehicle for the dark, folk-tinged songs of Lyndon Morgans (originally from Blackwood in South Wales), with accompaniment from Karl Woodward (banjo/mandolin/harmonica), Dave Paterson (accordion/percussion) and Jasper Salmon (violin).

Their recent single ‘It’s Not A Love Thing’ has been played on BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music, and is a trailer for Songdog’s next album, 'Joy Street'. 'Joy Street' was recorded at Manchester’s Airtight Studios with Nigel Stonier in the producer chair (his other production credits include Fairport Convention, Joan Baez and Thea Gilmore) and is due for release early 2017.
Songdog’s last album was the critically-acclaimed 'Last Orders at Harry's Bar'; earlier Songdog releases included ‘A Life Eroding’, ‘A Wretched Sinner's Song’, ‘The Time Of Summer Lightning’, ‘Haiku’ and ‘The Way of the World’.
The music has received praise from the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Robert Wyatt.

"Compelling stuff and yet another mighty album from a unique talent and one of the best out there.' Jeremy Searle, Maverick

'Songdog are the most beautifully sardonic and poetic force ever to emerge from Blackwood, Wales..' Gavin Martin, The Mirror

“Lyndon Morgans, the singer-songwriter at the heart and helm of Songdog, is a latterday Beat poet, a Welsh Jacques Brel” Nick Toczek, R2 (Rock’n’Reel)

“...darkly melancholic songs reflecting on a life of lust, pain, hedonism, betrayal, lost opportunities and "good times... pissed away".' Nigel Williamson, Uncut
