Reviews
Kirk Adams and Ed Woltil
Suzie Ungerleider
Nigel Stonier
Lemon Twigs
Former Ditchflower Ed Woltil teams up with Kirk Adams to produce a stunning set of melodic pop with hooks a plenty and XTC guitarist Dave Gregory featuring on four tracks.
After seven albums as Oh Susanna, Suzie Ungerleider releases her second album under her own name and it’s her most personal and best to date.
Eighth ‘solo’ album from Nigel Stonier, who is still best known for his role as producer for other artists, but there a feeling that’s about to change with ‘Wolf Notes’
he Lemon Twigs fifth studio album finds them at the top of their game. Harmonies, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, melodies, real songs.
Groovy Uncle
Kelly Bayfield
Annie Capps
Ian M. Bailey
Tenth album under Glenn Prangnell’s Groovy Uncle banner finds him diverting from his usual musical path
Solo debut from folk singer/songwriter Kelly Bayfiel, which follows on from her album with Kev Walford, is a personal odyssey but one that will connect with many.
Annie Capps follows her eight studio albums with her partner Rod with her first ‘solo’ album, lyrically tracing her journey from the problems of a young girl to learning to let go of hurt and grief
Second album on Kool Kat Musik from Ian M Bailey who along with co-writer Daniel Wylie delivers eleven slices of gorgeous Byrdsian pop/folk

Stunning new album from John Almond's The Feedback File which brings to mind classic songwriters such as Burt Bacharach and Jimmy Webb
Haunting new abum from ex- October Project singer-songwriter Mary Fahl who reinterprets ten songs from her youth., making these the definitive cover versions.
Stunning first album in thirty years from under-appreciated and harmonic 1960/1970's American family group The Cowsills, whose time has surely finally come in the UK
Dodson and Fogg
Steve Robinson and Ed Woltil
Dodson and Fogg
Oliver Earnest
Back and sooner than we thought, Chris Wade returns with further journeys into the musical world of Dodson and Fogg
Second album from ex-Headlights and Ditchflowers members Steve Robinson and Ed Woltil provides a dozen slices of perfect pop perfection and is one of 2022’s best
Mainly instrumental album from Chris Wade’s Dodson and Fogg project to accompany his poetry book with the same title proves another stunning work.
Debut solo album from former member of post-punk band Kaufmann Frust, now recording under the name Oliver Earnest, combines a contemporary wall of sound with thoughtful lyrics
Michael Warren
Taylor Young Band
Reg Meuross and Harbottle & Jonas
Spring '68
Excellent mixture of covers and originals from Michael Warren who formally performed Bowie covers as Ziggy Heroe in the 1970s and 1980s.
Uplifting and appealing collection of songs on debut album from the Taylor Young Band which mixes pop, country and power pop perfectly
Perfect collaboration between folk legend Reg Meuross and Harbottle and Jonas featuring their take on ten traditional folk songs.
Highly recommended. album from Spring ‘68, which is inspired by its creator Edward Rogers' fascination with the music and culture of late ‘60s France.
August List
Karen Jonas
Asha McCarthy
Groovy Uncle
Third album from Oxford’s The August List takes their brand of Americana down even weirder, fascinating paths than they have visited before
Four track EP from Karen Jonas featuring a cover of ‘The Boys Of Summer’ but it’s her originals that steal the show.
Fantastic debut album from Asha McCarthy whose cello-playing fusion of Indian, Western and folk music coupled with outstanding vocals is breathtaking
