Smoke And Mud – The Kintners This song is so dark. What do I mean? Well, firstly the chord progressions give it that really bluesy feel. This isn’t a bad thing. I love this song, it’s been on my radar for sometime as it’s been on bandcamp and it was sent to me as a …
Single Review: “Tomorrow” – Sophie Dorsten
Sophie Dorsten – Tomorrow Bob Marley once said, “One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain.” This song had me feeling all kinds of emotional when I first heard it…. It’s the chorus. It just hits you. I know it’s coming. Every. Single. Time. But it just hits me and the …

Single Review: “The Rose” – Michaela Betts
Michaela Betts – The Rose Oh. This is beautiful. It starts off with a sparse arpeggiated piano part, then draws in a cello to give it the necessary bass part. But then it drops into a beautiful electro synth piece that just gets better and better and better with each listen. My mate Nick would …

Single Review: “Pantano” – Gabrielle Sey
Gabrielle Sey – Pantano As a lover of hand percussion this has already caught my ear with the intro. Very Latin vibe, and very mellow. Gabriella’s voice is strong and sits comfortably on this, strong vocals that really stand out, over the acoustic guitars… The mix is awesome on this too, I need to comment …

Blog interview: Sarah McQuaid
Hello Sarah, how are you? Very well, thank you Del! I’m just in the train on my way back from giving a week-long residential guitar workshop at Halsway Manor, which was fantastic — it was so, so nice, if a little bit scary, to be out interacting with other human beings again. Everyone had tested …
