BUSY BUSY

Megan Henwood has written her own lockdown lament … with surprisingly positive vibes …  Mark Radcliffe of BBC likes it. And we like him… listen

Coming soon… a new album from Cunning Folk. We’ll be popping tracks out ahead of its October release. The first coincided with Summer Solstice – the excellent Always The Sun

The latest single is the excellent “Traveller Hide Your Soul”  (and possibly the first musical protective spell to ward off predatory song collectors from traditional singers in the Irish Traveller community…. says CF:  “Much in the same way as Lomax took from Leadbelly in the 20th century, song collectors still take from tradition keepers. I thought a protective hex was in order”). Listen to the spell here 

Listen to Fran Bak’s incredible new record  PIANO.

Hot on the heels of their debut single Sombre Circus (Feat. Nell Bryden), new band The Roadside Bandits Project released a new single in June featuring John Sterry of the Gang of Four: My Own Lies. The album is getting great reviews and is out now.

Check out the new records from Frans Bak and The Frampton Sisters. Frans performed the new album “PIANO” live in Shanghai and in Los Angeles in January, and is playing St Pancras Old Church in London on April 16th, the day before the album is released. Here’s the first track from that record.
“Danish Brook”

The Frampton Sisters, fresh from two fabulous radio sessions with BBC London and BBC Kent, have released their second single “Let Me Hold Your Hand” – Streaming now! Go listen.

Now then. You may be aware of our exceptional examples of modern classical music; check out “Interview With The Angel” or “Ghostland Revisited” by GHOSTLAND, and “Merlin’s Hat” or “Such Sweet Thunder” by CAROLINE DALE. You’ll be glad you did.

Meanwhile, we are absolutely thrilled to add a special name to this list. FRANS BAK.
Frans is a highly accomplished and award-winning composer and well known throughout the world for composing scores for such shows as ‘THE KILLING’ (Danish and US versions), Dr. FOSTER (for the BBC), Lilyhammer, Disparue and many more international TV series.
We will shortly have news of an exciting new album project by Frans. Here is his first recording for us – a collaboration with Danish guitarist
Jan Rørdam. Released Jan 17 and called “For No Reason At All”. Enjoy.

We are really happy with the radio response, particularly from the excellent Robert Elms on BBC London to the debut single by The Frampton Sisters. There’s more to come in the new year … meanwhile check out
