SnC 277 – Chilled and chunky
A rum old mix of musical styles this week with some pretty chilled sounds right up against some chunky blues in a feature on Trevor Sewell. Last weekend the Blue Bus Tour visited Woodbridge. Great little touring idea. Solar-powered stage from the VW bus. http://bluebustour.co.uk/ Help – Philco Fiction (Oslo, Norway) Whimsical? Yes Addictive? ‘fraid so!…

SnC 276 – Our inner rock-chick
Music from Belfast, Iceland, Norway, Netherlands, Singapore, Los Angeles, France and Western Australia. This morning I met up with the person who probably has the dream job at the Adnams brewery, that of the chief beer tester. There to interview Belinda Jennings for the show and find out who has made it as artist of…

SnC 275 – All over the shop
Music from all over the shop this week although a couple are from Italy and news of another session at the barn coming up soon. I forgot to mention in the show that there is a +1 button just to the right here > give it a click if you “like”. I couldn’t resist using…

SnC 274 – Jordan Reyne: a Session at the Barn
One of our occasional series of Sessions at the Barn. This time it’s a live session with New Zealand musician Jordan Reyne, recorded last Friday at the Suffolk ‘n’ Cool barn near the east coast of England. Children of a Factory Nation, the new and, as yet, unreleased album from Jordan Reyne, is a tour de…

SnC 273 – What ash cloud?
This week the music comes from Canada, New York, Germany, France, Oklahoma, New Orleans and San Francisco. I think by the end of the weekend I’m going to feel as though I’ve been round to each of them. Who needs an ash cloud? Codger certainly doesn’t since he’s in Berlin again and assures me that…

SnC 272 – The quirky side of quality
SnC takes a turn for the quirky side of quality this week with some remarkable and varied music from LA, Holland, Canada, Finland, France, Australia, London via New Zealand and Catalonia. The Great Escape in Brighton turned out to be a great gathering of a bunch of lovely folks from podcasting (Codger and Grumbler), industry…

SnC 271 – 30 years on
Just back from a lovely weekend in Paris (right) and raring to go with some great music again, and this week it is a full length show. Sorry about last week. I simply ran out of time. Our dear friend of the show Kimo Watanabe reminded me that today is the 30th anniversary of the…

SnC 270 – SnC gets squeezed
A rather shorter show than normal this week. My time is being squeezed hard by a building project on the go here, next to the barn. I’m working with my builder friend Roy Evans to build an annexe for a lovely elderly relative who is not really able to cope any longer alone in her…

SnC 269 – Loaded
A slightly more country feel than seems quite normal this week, at least to a couple of tracks. There’s also a pre-release exclusive from what I believe to be one of the most talented artists around at the moment and much merriment besides. The show closes out with a pre-release play of a track from the…

SnC 268 – Suffolk ‘ n ‘ Warm
With the top music bars of Ibiza opening by the day (Mint Lounge opened last week with Savannah set for the big green button next Friday) the summer seems to be almost here. Having said that, it has actually been almost 10 degrees celsius warmer in Suffolk that in Mediterranean islands of Mallorca and Ibiza…

SnC 267 – Keen sea disguise illusions
Suffolk ‘n’ Cool this week features a miscellany of music from London, Denmark, Manchester, New York, Washington, Nova Scotia, Brooklyn and Los Angeles. A chill sea mist in over Southwold creates a great atmosphere, even if it is a bit cold. The Adnams pubs around the town seem even more attractive though. Risen – Hey…

SnC 266 – Superglue train cushions
The Adnams Artist of the Month for March, is truly, “Adnams” pick, because this month the choice is made by Jonathan Adnams who’s family has been brewing in Southwold since 1872. Almost 140 years of family involvement and yet the man at the helm is totally alert to opportunities and new ways of working. The…
