SnC 311 – Flashback time
Fat Tuesday yesterday and I can assure you that Suffolk’n’Cool is giving absolutely nothing up for Lent. If anything, I want to get more great music and features into the show. The major building project that I’ve been involved in here near the Barn (an annexe for an ageing relative) is almost complete so I’m…

SnC 310 – Whatever tickles your fancy
I think we have an slightly different feeling show this week. Not so much for the locations of the artists, they’re from Sydney and Perth in Australia, LA and Brooklyn in the USA, there are a couple from the Netherlands and Stockholm, Sweden also makes its presence felt. It’s more for the sound. I seems…

SnC 309 – Coming in from Siberia
I really don’t want to blather on about the weather like a meteorologically obsessed Englishman but, holy shit has it been cold this week. I’ve rarely felt cold like that in Southwold yesterday. In fact, a blast of really cold air came through in mid-afternoon and the temperature dropped by at least 3 degrees C…

SnC 308 – Good to be back
Back after an enforced one show break due to a conspiracy of frail elderly relatives and an an unbelievably incompetent bank who very very nearly caused me to be fined or worse by the UK tax authorities for not paying on time. Santander, you owe me, big-time. Still, you know the collective noun for bank…

SnC 307a
Hey Folks For the first time in a very long time, I’m not able to offer you a Suffolk ‘n’ Cool this week. We have an elderly, confused and frail relation living with us who requires 24 hour care. After a month of night duty (and no sleep) every other night and a lot of…

SnC 307 – Headphones can kill
Research has shown that loud headphones are sometimes not just bad for your hearing, they can kill you. Well, indirectly. Pic: A great sunrise yesterday but today, I’m not convinced that the sun rose at all. Big Woman – The D.A. (El Paso, Texas, USA) “All my friends are feral cats, hipsters and scaredy rats, hobos and…

SnC 306 – A sky full of stars
A sky full of stars and aircraft tonight here in Suffolk. Unfortunately I was aware of that long before recording the show. Yip. Another late one but with a comely variety of styles and approaches from london and the UK, France, California and Canada. I hope you’ll enjoy the tracks and explore the artists sites.…

SnC 305 – Ten more to watch in 2012
The second half of our 20 to watch in 2012. Each of these artists have impressed me in 2011 and I think they are likely to attract significant attention in 2012. They certainly deserve it. There have been somne lovely moonsets this week and, when it isn’t pouring with rain, and some great coloured skies.…

SnC 304 – Ten to watch in 2012
Inspired by an idea from my fellow AMP members, I really wanted to put out a show of tracks from artists who I think are worth keeping an eye on in 2012. When I sat down to compile the show, I found that I had at least two shows worth of talent, so this week…

SnC 303 – A week to reset!
A week rather strongly influenced by a burmp to ze ‘ed on Sunday morning. I’ve been playing catch-up ever since which has left us with a rather shorter show than usual. The building project will be done in a couple of weelks or so and then things should get back to something like normal. I…

SnC 302 – LA to Bieszczady
In SnC this week. An update from the John Peel Centre appeal and the winner of the Adnams Artist of the Month for November. Ah, that would explain why I was in Southwold this morning – another perishing cold day but with intersting skies and a great time with Tyler at The Crown Hotel. …

SnC 301 – Weight of the World
Ah well. Some day are like that. A frantic 17 hour day due to external and family needs left me with little time and strength to filter down to a full complement of songs but what we do have are really interesting. Winter arrived here in Suffolk this week, leaves have left, leaving some magnificent…
