Rob shares with us, through words and photos, a great evening of entertainment from Megson and band (John Parker and Cliff Ward) at Cambridge Junction. An evening delivered with sincerity, humour and talent.
by Mike Davies
Symphonic re-workings can be bloated and bombastic affairs but in sympathetic hands and with complementary rather than competitive arrangements, they can be quite magnificent. This is one such.
by Mike Davies
A simple, but deeply touching and, ultimately, optimistic contemplation of life, recollected in quiet moments…this is a superb and sublime album from a voice that deserves to be shouted from the highest rooftops. Long may her heart burn this bright.
by Thomas Blake
On Browser Faraone and his Nordic sidekicks come at a venerable genre from an entirely different angle, and give it a welcome shake-up, while never sacrificing deft songcraft and dextrous lyricism.
by Mike Davies
Banjo playing Americana duo The Lowest Pair that we introduced back in 2014 make a double album UK release…Music for sunshine and mint juleps, the albums, like the duo, make a fine pair.
by Ian Taylor
From the Outside is one for the Bert Jansch fans – fifteen songs delivered solo without any of the over-production and superfluous accompaniment that typified many 1980s albums by folk artists.
by Mike Davies
Whilst not a landmark Colvin & Earle does capture the feel of two artists kicking loose and having a good time, and that’s infectious. They will perform two nights at London’s Union Chapel this month.
