Hi thank you for coming to the site. Take a seat. You’re helping me realise a dream come true. Sounds soppy but I’ve been wanting to launch this site under this domain for a very long time and it’s part of a list of dreams that I’ve had for the last few years that are …
Single Review: “High Horse (Be Gone)” – Rikke
This track has an off kilter beat and that’s what caught my attention initially! The drum intro, then a funny little bass run coupled up with a muted guitar played an octave up gives you a modern jazz feel with a little bit of pop in there too. This is a slick bit of production …
Single Review: “Lose Yourself To Dance” – Daft Punk
Today is the birthday of one of my biggest musical influences Nile Rodgers. When a Chic record comes on you can’t help but smile. I could even go as far as to say to say you’re going to dance. When I need to get my day started right, “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie has to …
Single Review: “The Stars (Interlude”) – James Earl Jones
We lost a man whose voice is instantly recognisable to multiple generations. James Earl Jones passed away earlier this week at the age of 93. This track is from the Lion King album the gift which is made up of tracks featuring sound bites from the film, this is the interlude that comes before probably …
Single Review: “Dynasty” – Jenna Pemkowski
What struck me about this track is how quickly it changed within its 3:32 length. It starts off with a fast paced kick drum giving me the impression that it was going to be a bit of a rock track. But then it settles into a steady rhythm based around a snare, kick and high …
Single Review: “Why Can’t I Wake Up With You?” – Take That
Today is the Mercury Music Awards and they are being hosted at @abbeyroadstudios @freshonthenet asked a question on his fabulous #nowplaying show on @bbc6music – what album in the past got nominated but never won? Naturally there are so many, but one I didn’t realise was nominated when looking for my favourite was Take That’s …
Single Review: “No Future” – The Great Leslie
The Great Leslie are back with a track that’s an absolute stomper! Big rock drums that swing on the toms, big vocals, big crunchy guitars… well what do you expect from the great Leslie? A lot and then some. This is a message with several layers – let’s start with the cover – a picture …
Single Review: “Live Forever” – Oasis
So. Oasis are back. No-one thought it would happen, not in this lifetime. If Guns n’ Roses can bury the hatchet (Not in each other’s heads…) then maybe there was hope for Oasis yet. Oasis was a huge part of the 1990’s Manchester music scene carrying on a long tradition of great music coming out …

Single Review: “World Happy” – Michelle Ward
Michelle Ward is back with a new single “World Happy” – I played it on my show and I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s an indie pop tune heavy on the pop elements – catchy melody that brings sunshine – lyrics that get to the point – the world needs more happiness.First verse: God’s …
Single Review: “Money” – Ahmala
Well! This combines jazz, hip hop, neo soul, a touch of Motown and some gospel into this lovely track! There’s a flute to kick off proceedings over a bass that I’m suspecting is played live on the recording – it’s got some depth to it. Add to that a Rhodes piano and an upright piano, …
