December 11, 2018 Harold Hogan 0

With ‘Something More‘, Bear Paw have given us a wonderfully energetic piece of work; from the first strum to the last it’s an E.P. that crackles and pops with old-school indie energy. These four lads from […]

Karine Polwart “Ophelia” – Listen

December 11, 2018 Jonathan Aird 0

Karine Polwart’s latest album ‘Laws Of Motion‘ has, quite rightly, received the raviest of reviews – you’ll recall what Americana-UK thought (here) when giving a mighty 9/10. The gently haunting ‘Ophelia‘ is, quite literally, a wind swept […]
