rescuing musical virtue in distress.
Things are slowly picking up after the post-Christmas, post-New year, Post-apocalyptic, post-everything lull of recent months. Plenty of new music swirling around the office to share with you. As always, check out more of their work, follow pages, share music, buy merch and generally ensure that cool grassroots music gets a shot at competing in... Continue Reading →
Not masses of music being written about over the last week, for obvious reasons, so I have added a few more local artists and people that I am working with to help promote them, their music and their tours. So check it out, explore the artist's music further, buy their albums, spread the word, and... Continue Reading →
As I usually put a list together covering the newest music to come my way, for this last one I thought I'd have an alphabetic wander through my own record collection from my formative years. I didn't think too long and hard about things and I could probably produce a dozen of these and not... Continue Reading →
So, that was the musical year that was. And to give you just a small taste of the cool music and even cooler people who have passed under the pen this year I have put together an end of year snapshot of the soundtrack to my working weeks. And it is just a snapshot. Two... Continue Reading →
Less music has been written about on the site than usual this week so I have gained some inspiration from the "to do" pile, so plenty of previews of music reviews to come. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5lY1VjxDOtiJ0xniUDN2Cb?si=068f291364184478
As usual, loads of cool music and groovy people have wandered under the pen and onto the page. Please support these artists by buying some merch, liking the page, playing their music. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/45nij9JU2vQwOWoumedsda?si=b422b122f71b41c3
A bit late but stil the usual collection of cool grassroots music, off the radar songs and about to happen artists. Buy merch, like pages, go to a gig…you know the drill. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5xKnQisD3MlxsraQgpmEpA?si=f5e2ba19222a4f9c

Few artists seemed to take as many risks during their career as David Bowie. And, sadly, for every sonic high of ‘Hunky Dory’, Station to Station’ or ‘Heroes’ there was a misjudgement in the shape of ‘Never Let Me Down’, ‘Black Tie, White Noise’ or his foray into the band that was Tin Machine. But... Continue Reading →
