Sniffing out the best new music
I've done so many of these now that I've pretty much run out of material to write about in these introduction paragraphs.

That said, I stumbled across a new Londoner who has tickled my fancy over the course of this dour week. His name is Lookman... Continue Reading →
Are we really on the way back to normality again? It seems things are opening up and the virus is becoming a thing of the past here in the UK. I'm still skeptical, the thing is still rampant - I don't know anymore. To compound it all, I got bitten by an insect yesterday and... Continue Reading →
I've been sitting in my sister's house up in Salford all week - I came prepared with the laptop in hand for a full week of music searching. Lockdown is still pretty much in full flow. It's a different environment for me after three and a half months alone down in London. Who would have... Continue Reading →
