London's folk specialist Alex Bayly moves into 2021 with a lovely new collection of songs to share. Following on from his debut album 'Ley Lines' last year, this bank of four is a welcome addition to his increasing portfolio of impressive and dreamy soundscapes. Before the Coronavirus watered the live music scene down to its... Continue Reading →
Since the turn of the year, I've found it hard to get back into the swing of the blogging again. For some reason my passionate, obsessive and rambling writing zone has been harder to access.
