David Running “Waiting by the Door” (Independent, 2018)

December 17, 2018 Mark Johnson 0
This Quebecois utilises a small band, but otherwise David Running is very much a lone operator. He sings, plays multiple instruments, wrote the songs, produced the album, self-released it and is his own publicist. In fact […]

December 17, 2018 Steven Howlett 0
‘Venom & Faith’ is the fourth album from Rebecca and Megan Lovell, aka Larkin Poe. Originating from Georgia, but Nashville based (can anyone actually imagine walking around Nashville and meeting someone not in a band), the […]

You probably wouldn’t immediately think of St. Leonard’s Church in Bridgnorth as a likely venue if someone were to mention a roof-raising indie-folk and blues double bill. Yet on a storm-lashed March evening, the old sandstone […]
