This April, Eddi Reader, one of Scotland’s all-time greatest female voices and performers, returns to stages across Scotland, including dates in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Perth, with a special 40 Years Live Tour. 

Inspired by the land and people of the East Yorkshire flatlands, Katie Spencer announces her second album ‘The Edge of the Land’. Watch the accompanying video to the title track and lead single that was filmed at Spurn Point, East Yorkshire.

Anglo-Irish luminaries Eileen Gogan and Sean O’Hagan recently released “Another Golden Day”. Taken from that EP, watch the video for “Wheels (Happy Cycling)” as Eileen, through childhood eyes, contemplates the freedom of the open road and pedal power.

Ye Vagabonds are to release their second album for Rough Trade’s River Lea label. Titled Nine Waves, the album will be released on May 13th and will be supported by a UK Tour. Watch them performing their lead single ‘Blue Is The Eye’ live.

On ‘Solo’, Sam Sweeney could be playing just for you. Add in the beautiful acoustic echoes of St Martin’s Church and you are left with a truly immersive and compelling listening encounter. Solo is a thrilling, timeless and thoroughly evocative listen.

The KLOF mix features music from Xochimoki, Angel Bat Dawid, Arthur Russell, Joseph Allred, Deer Scout, Warren Ellis, Kinbrae & Clare Archibald, Bird In The Belly, Officer!, Josephine Foster, Rokia Koné & Jacknife Lee, Avalanche Kaito, MacGillivray, Magic Tuber Stringband, Nick Jonah Davis, Satomimagae, Steve Gunn.

With, After the City, Bird In The Belly have created a concept album that provides a kind of musical prequel to Richard Jefferies visionary novel. Eloquent, lovingly detailed and touched with a welcome dash of experimentalism, they have made it accessible, gripping and mythical.

A stunning return by Amy Boone, who exudes assurance and bruised sensuality alongside evocative lyrics from Willy Vlautin and a consummately crafted soundscape. The Sea Drift is an intoxicating piece of work from The Delines.

An easy-rolling chilled mix featuring Nathan Salsburg, Castanets, M. Ward, Mia Doi Todd, Ryley Walker, Widowspeak, Luluc, Cass McCombs, Cherry Ghost, Meg Baird, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Lucy Dacus, Aldous Harding, Adrianne Lenker, Kevin Morby and Big Thief.

Featuring Norma Waterson, Rupert Wates, Peter Knight & John Spiers, Inni-K, James Yorkston, Bird in the Belly, Allison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves, Magic Tuber Stringband, Ben McElroy, Kinbrae & Clare Archibald, Ethan Stokes Tischler and Glen Peters.

Featuring a number of special guests including Eliza Carthy and Angharad Jenkins, Just For The Record is a stunning debut from Glen Peters, an album with a genuine and enriching heart. Just don’t make this your last, Peter.

Watch Roscommon-based Gatehouse performing The Gypsies…the tale of a rich lady who falls in love with a dark-eyed gypsy and elopes with him. While unashamedly traditional, their old-school approach is filled with an undeniable warmth and spirit that’s impossible to resist.
