Signe Marie Rustad “Die With Your Boots On” – Listen

July 31, 2019 Jonathan Aird 0

Taken from Signe Marie Rustad’s third album ‘When Words Flew Freely‘ this is a warm and perfect piano led singer-songwriter outing very much in the way of Carole King or Joni Mitchell.  And that’s a big […]

Hegsy and The Elements “My Truths” (Independent, 2019)

July 31, 2019 Dave Clarke 0

This is the debut Hegsy and The Elements album, a record where Mark Hegarty and his band tell and share movingly, with their audiences, stories that make you think and react. All the tracks were recorded […]

Interview: Mean Mary answers six of one and half a dozen of the other

February 18, 2026 0

February 27, 2017 0

This is rather good, from a band who include Lindsay Lou of Flatbellys fame and who’ll be in the UK in August at Towersey festival and elsewhere with dates to be announced.

September 27, 2019 1

Leicester’s Diesel Park West are one of rock’s great survivors. Their debut album ‘Shakespeare Alabama’ was rightly acclaimed then and now as a minor classic and even gave them a small whiff of commercial success, but […]
