John Murry + Lucas & King, St Mary’s Church, Guildford, 22nd July 2017

July 31, 2017 Martin Fisher 0
Upon arriving at the cobbled graveyard front entrance of St Mary’s church (with the support act having already begun) I could see looking at me in the shadows, by the corner of his tour van, the […]

Los Straitjackets “What’s So Funny About Peace, Love and Los Straitjackets” (Yep Roc, 2017)

July 31, 2017 David Cowling 0

Quiet Loner “The Battle for the Ballot” (Independent, 2017)

July 28, 2017 David Cowling 0

Chris Stapleton “From A Room (Vol. 1)” (Mercury Records, 2017)

July 27, 2017 Rudie Hayes 0
