Live Review: Gangstagrass, Oslo, London – 27th July 2023

August 8, 2023 Richard Parkinson 2

Gangstagrass returned to London as part of a European tour and on their way to a slot at the 2023 Cambridge Folk Festival. The trip seems to have been eventful as they thanked their tour manager […]

Jill Andrews “Modern Age”

August 8, 2023 Rick Bayles 0

A good album that lacks immediate impact. Jill Andrews isn’t that well known in the UK but her profile has been steadily growing, particularly back in her native U.S.A. She was a founding member of folk/alt-country […]

Broken Radio “Dirty Country”

August 7, 2023 Alan Fitter 0

An excellent album of gothic country haunted by some ghostly heroes from the past. It’s a little-known fact that Johnny Cash bought his first guitar in Landsburg, a small town in southern Bavaria whilst he was […]

Elanor Moss “The Knife, The Needle”

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 […]
