Classic Clips: Dave Edmunds “Girls Talk” The Jools’ Annual Hootenanny – 31st December 2008

August 16, 2024 Andrew Raw 1

August 15, 2024 Jonathan Smith 3

September 7, 2026 0

Insightful lyrics and a delicate voice contrast with full-bodied horns to make a debut that feels authentically true to itself. They say art does not come easy, and that’s certainly something Elanor Moss found when trying […]

Stornoway live at the Found Festival, Claydon Hall, Bucks -29th to 31st August 2026

Live Review: Found Festival, Claydon Hall, Bucks – 29th-31st August 2026

September 7, 2026 1

Found festival reminded me of the very first End Of The Road back in 2006: compact, homely, community-orientated and skilfully curated. The panoramic melodies, wide pastoral instrumentation and whimsical lyricism of local-ish heroes Stornoway instantly induced […]
