Our Song of the Day comes from Native Harrow with ‘Turn It Around’. A soulfully immense single with an easy-rolling 70s vibe that’s impossible to resist. What more do you need to persuade you to grab a ticket for their upcoming European and UK Tour.

Folk/Americana singer songwriter & guitarist, Jason McNiff prepares to go on tour this Autumn in support of his widely acclaimed new album ‘Dust Of Yesterday’. Not to be missed.
There was plenty of highlights at a long-overdue Walton Folk Festival featuring Gilmore & Roberts, Odette Michell, Jenn & Laura-Beth, Kim Lowings and the Greenwood, Jacob & Drinkwater and Trials of Cato. It wasn’t without its serendipitous moments.
