Blog interview: Revivalry
Congratulations on the release of “Pieces” how does it feel? Thank you. It is always great to get our music out there and always a bit nerve wracking too. We have been playing it in our live set for a while now and it is such an energetic tune we love playing it and it …
Album Review: “Pillow Talk Sessions 1” – Duski
Duski seem to be a band who metamorphasise into different forms musically…. According to their site: It began as a chordless trio in darkest Wales comprising of sax, double bass and drums, then guitar and piano appeared. Jazz styles disappeared and heavy jams with collective improvising took its place. The piano morphed into different synthesisers …

Live Review: Rhodes MK8 Launch, Ronnie Scott’s
Rhodes MK8 launch – Ronnie Scott’s. My old friend Liam Narrie was the one that sent me a message about this event, and when I heard Dan Goldman was hosting it… I had to be there. Dan is a killer keyboard player, more specifically Rhodes, and it was just a joy to hear him play. …

Album Review: “Bloor Street” – Kiefer Sutherland
I must say that I was surprised to hear that Kiefer Sutherland was a singer to add to his many talents. I mean… most people my age will remember him being in 80s classic Lost Boys, 24 and more. But to hear him sing, this is something else. So, I’m putting on my earphones and …
Single Review: “Kurunba” – Rokia Kone and Jacknife Lee
This track is… fascinating. Four on the floor, percussion, and call and response vocals that command you to sing along. All based around a tribal dance beat that makes you want to… Well… Quite frankly… GET DOWN! I love it, it’s not your run of the mill dance track, and it doesn’t try to be, …
