Music this week from Philly, Kabul, Montreal, Grenoble, London, Nashville, Cologne and somewhere secret in Germany! We had the coldest May night in 15 years last night and the beginnings of a government here in the UK. We really are in uncharted waters and it will be interesting (to say the least) to see how…

Music this week from Ontario, Holland, Shanghai, Paris and Vannes in France and Spain. Spain is quite close to my heart this week as I had to turn down an invitation to the 2010 opening party at Savannah in Ibiza (see Jessie’s rather fine deliberately pixelated picture) because flights from the UK are few and…

Music from Connecticut, Brooklyn, Oregon, Nashville, LA and Paris and Nancy in France this week. Great new music – the same old presenter! Dry weather over the past couple of weeks has triggered some manic barn painting. I’ve nearly done the steps (pic), so there’s just the back, front and sides to do 🙁  …

Music from Canada, UK, Venezuela, New York and Ukraine brings refreshment to you from the coast of Suffolk this week. The Suffolk coast is looking particularly spectacular in it’s characteristically bleak way this week.   Fake – Fake Elegance (Kiev, Ukraine) Formed in 2005 and having their music described as being Fake Pop that finds…

Such cool and some relatively laid back music on SnC this week from Italy, Australia, USA, Jamaica and Japan but all of it much more local than that. A few sunny afternoons in the past week have been very welcome and produced a respectable sunset this evening.   We’re the ones – Plunkett (Italy) The…

Music this week from Boston, Nashville, Cincinnati and New York twinned with Copenhagen and Ipswich.  Suffolk is scattered with former airfields from the dark days of World War II. Most of the buildings are gone although at Parham (near Framlingham) the control tower and associated buildings have been restored and now house a museum. The…

Local music from around the world. On this week’s show tracks from Paris, Helsinki, Torino, Suffolk, Seattle, NYC, Portland and this from our olds friend Manny in Luxembourg. Spring seems to have been put on hold here in Suffolk this week – there must be a public holiday coming up 😉  Pic from the barn…

Musical accompaniment for the romantic widlife of Suffolk this weeks as pigeons pose and preen, Owls explore the barn for potential nest sites and hundreds of frogs do … well… what frogs do at this time of year. Music from Tibilisi (Georgia), Brighton, Toronto, the east coast of the USA and Norwich. I resisted the…

A fairly upbeat selection of tunes that caught my ear this week with contributions from Los Angeles, London, Belgium, New York, France, Toronto and Nashville. Closer to home, Butley Priory is an amazing music venue just a few miles from The Barn and will be the setting for my daughter Eve’s wedding tomorrow. Too tired…

I passed through London’s Paddington Station last week. The architecture of these Victorian stations is really quite stunning.   Serious Bedtime – The Balconies (Ottawa, Canada) A lot of things can happen in university. You can walk away with a degree, a career path, and a place to start. Or sometimes you leave university with…

An altogether worthwhile trip over to Southwold on Monday led to this week’s picture. The Sole Bay Inn is the closest of a handful of fine pubs to the Adnams brewery in the town. The bitter at The Nelson was excellent.    Strawberry Quick – Sandman Viper Command (Burlington, Ontario, Canada) In the beginning, the…

Suffolk is hereby declared waterlogged. So much snow and rain this past week. From the look of the sky earlier, somone is in for another soaking.   Apple Pie Bed – Lawrence Arabia (Christchurch, New Zealand) A former member of bands including The Ruby Suns (Sub Pop), The Brunettes and The Reduction Agents, Lawrence Arabia…
