 SnC 253 kicks off the new calendar year with a selection of tunes that you’ll almost certainly not have heard over the holiday period. There’s a couple of tracks that involve the cello this week but in contexts where I’ve certainly not come across it before.  Congratulations to Pete “Codger” Cogle who was planning to…

Just a little bit extra and an chance to hear the SnC sig tune, “Happy” by Jimmie Bratcher, in its entirety. January 1 seems a good time to make it a “Happy” new year. www.jimmiebratcher.com I’d love to hear from you by email (peter [at] suffolkandcool [dot] com) or twitter @suffolkandcool or on the show’s…

After the snow of the past few weeks our good friends on the eastern seaboard of the USA seem to be taking their turn. It is difficult to imagine so much snow in the streets where we were strolling in the Indian summer only a few weeks ago. I was waiting for it to get…

45 minutes or so of mostly very new music from the USA, Australia, Ireland, Italy and Germany. Time sensitive news this week about CMJ badge discounts which end on Saturday. Get ’em while they’re hot 😉 The cold continues with the snow slowly melting almost away only for another lot to dump itself on the…

A strong US representation on this week’s SnC. Not that these things are planned. A couple of rather heavier tracks too, perhaps as a result of the great time I had presenting AMPed last week with metal offerings from other AMP members, especially Rodrigo’s Portuguese metal band. Almost all of the snow has now melted…

The unprecedented freeze continues here in Suffolk. Not wanting to miss out, the softies in NYC have started moaning 🙂 You know who you are 😉 On SnC this week, music from France, Colerado, Louisiana, New Zealand, Los Angeles, Tehran, Vancouver and some cracking reggae from Germany.    Dual Sphere – Bruno Pitch (Auvergne, France)…

Music from Canada, Iceland, France, Boston, Asturia, New York, Germany and Singapore for you on SnC this week along with news from the LIET festival and Stowmarket.  It’s a bit of an odd mix. Probably induced by the exceptionally low autumn temperatures in the UK at the moment and the hugely enjoyable Session at the…

Some cracking music from Italy, California, Finland, the UK, Brooklyn and Canada. Along with news from Codger and a delicious rant from Dave Stewart. The hops which grew up the barn again this year didn’t really throve but they look pretty good now with the light behind them. A very happy Thanksgiving to all my…

Quite a bit of news, comment and an interview with Jordan Reyne this week as well as fine music from Iran, New York, Chicago, Hamburg Essex squished into a sandwich between two slices of Canada. We’ve had a couple of impressive sunsets this week. Still, cold air seems to do it. The shownotes are getting…

Some wonderful music from around the world, news of some gigs that you might just want to get to and the announcement of Adnams Artist of the Month for October  I was in Southwold yesterday. The sea was heaping up on the beach and stained brown from all the sand and silt the high winds…

Just a few New York tracks this week, now that I’m back from CMJ. It is certailly easier to produce the show on the dual screens rather than on the laptop which died again today. This time I think it is permanent. Shame I spent $100 last week on a new battery for it 🙁…

A Suffolk ‘n’ Cool special this week from New York where the music world and his performing dog is recovering from a frantic CMJ2010 and where I’m still having a ball and working my socks off. The sound quality isn’t up to the usual studio standard and is made worse by the fact that my…
