Live music is such a thing to celebrate. Suffolk ‘n’ Cool was at a remarkable performance during the week. In an unpredictable world it’s good to know that your loyal guard cat is paying full attention to the door. Warwick enjoys a bit of afternoon sun on his back.   Jo – Eclectek / Stouffi…

As quirky a selection of fine new tunes as you could ever wish to hear in Suffolk’n’Cool this week with artists from Denmark, New York, Nederland, France, Canada and São Paulo, Brasil.  Spring has sprung big-time in the pond next to the Suffolk’n’Cool barn. This week the ground and pond is a-quiver with frogs, singly,…

Lots of interesting music and the Adnams Artist of the Month in this week’s show.  I went over to Southwold to record the AOTM interview yesterday. I bleak, murky and cold day but very atmospheric over the marshes at Blythburgh. I’m sure that it is the absence of clutter that makes the landscape of east…

The music this week is trawled from London Los Angeles, Chicago, Brooklyn, Nashville and Copenhagen and a fine catch it is too. There was a strange light this afternoon which is admittedly, slightly enhanced in this week’s pic, taken just outside the barn. Oh, and one bit of late news the Tawny Owls are getting…

A lot of great music and precious little from me on SnC this week. We’ve tracks from London, Netherlands, Brooklyn, Mali, Belgium and Texas as well as a picture, of a field of winter wheat next to the barn, taken last November. I do usually take a picture on show day so that it is…

A somewhat unusual mix of music on SnC this week, possibly the effect of this past Monday, being Feb 14th and all that that entails but some the mix of music is relatively melodic and love seems to be in the air. Ah well, let’s just go with it. There are a couple of Jemendo…

A packed Suffolk ‘n’ Cool show this week with tracks from the USA and Canada. That’s not deliberate, just the way it goes. Southwold here on the Suffolk coast called we’ve had a few days of winds strong enough to whip a few tiles off the barn, so the sea was churned up, full of…

It’s time to celebrate five years of the finest independent music from all around the world delivered direct to your ears every week, via a barn in eastern England. This week the music comes from California, British Columbia, Montreal, New York, Paris, Ottawa, London and Copenhagen. Phew! I think a bottle of Adnams Solebay celebratory…

If you…

Music from an old friend of Suffolk’n’Cool and a bunch of new friends this week. Also news of the lowest selling number 1 albums since records began – when do you think it was? There’s a quite a pop and power pop showing in the mix this week, along with what you’d expect – great…
