Jim White + Cicada Rhythm, Oran Mor, Glasgow, 19th November 2017

November 27, 2017 Paul Kerr 0
It was pleasing to see a near capacity crowd turn up on a wet and cold Sunday night in Glasgow to see Jim White. Often seen as a cult artist and with an idiosyncratic style that […]

William The Conqueror, Moth Club, London, 14th November 2017

November 27, 2017 Mark Underwood 0
Expectations for William the Conqueror’s first headline London performance were high given that Ruarrri Joseph’s latest musical project has resulted in a debut album which is one of four nominees for UK Americana album of the […]

Jeffrey Martin “One Go Around” (Fluff & Gravy Records, 2017)

November 27, 2017 David Cowling 0
What saves Jeffrey Martin from the pile of identikit singer-songwriters, the troubled troubadours, are his lyrics and his storytelling. He doesn’t stretch too far; he tells of the dreams and the frustrations of working-class life, in […]

November 24, 2017 David Cowling 0
