Dear Friends – Tales from the Den

A friend of mine recently got in touch to say that his band was releasing a new album. I’d never heard the Dear Friends’ music before, but I said I’d take a listen. There’s always a bit of pressure to like music when you know the people involved, but luckily for me, it really wasn’t hard to […]

Time May Change Me – Saying Goodbye to Bowie

I remember waking that morning, glancing at my phone, and it was the first thing I saw; David Bowie has died. I had a jolt to the stomach. I really couldn’t believe it. When someone is so famous and talented, and has created such an enormous body of eclectic work, they somehow become superhuman. We don’t […]

Kate Bush returns with 50 Words for Snow

I flipping love Kate Bush, so the news that her new album was out was incredibly exciting to me. Earlier this year she released Director’s Cut (a reworking of some tracks from two of her previous albums), which I confess I’ve yet to listen to. 50 Words for Snow, being an entirely new creation, seemed […]

Sleeping Giant

Mr M’s fantastic band, March of Dimes, has a new single out and it’s a corker! Sleeping Giant makes me nostalgic for something but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is. (Although having a 3 week old little lass, perhaps it’s just sleep?!) I love the sound of the track, which has […]

March of Dimes at The Brudenell Social Club

March of Dimes played the Brudenell at last!! HURRAH. They are my favourite Leeds band, but then Mr M is the bass player, so I am perhaps a tiny bit on the biased side. If you don’t live in Leeds, or haven’t heard of the Brudenell, it’s a fantastic gig venue in Leeds. It’s set […]

A Deeper Understanding of Kate Bush in 2011?

Kate Bush is creating again! This is great news for fans such as myself. I was, however, a little disappointed to learn that her next album, Director’s Cut, will be a reworking of tracks taken from her two earlier albums; The Sensual World (1989) and The Red Shoes (1993). Deeper Understanding is the first single […]
