Just a quick moment to wish all those who celebrate on the other side of the pond, and elsewhere, a very happy Independence Day. Or should that be Independent’s Day? Independence Day – Jesta (UK) jestamusic.com/

SnC 381 – Jordan Reyne
A welcome catch-up with New Zealander and highly talented musician, Jordan Reyne. This time Jordan is on the line from her new base in Birmingham in the English Midlands although you can catch her most days playing shows in Second Life. Details of times and locations of both her virtual world and real world shows…

SnC 380 – Hand picked by humans
A fine selection of new independent music that you’ve probably not heard before, selected by a real live human being (that’s me) on the basis that I think each track has something about it that is well worth a listen. It may not all be just like the music you normally listen to but that’s…

SnC 379 – Gift wrapped
An outrageously quirky mix this week of everything from up-beat ska to girl-pop to a beautiful lament by way of some great electric blues so this is your breath of fresh music air from all around the world selected and gift wrapped for you in a barn on the east coast of England. Baila…

SnC 378 – Mojito please
It actually got light for an hour or two today in the middle of what is laughingly called summer here in the northern hemisphere so this week we have a couple of thoroughly summery tunes. Well, if we can’t have the weather we can at least have the music. EXPLICIT Just a warning that one of…

SnC 377 – Late from Reykjavík
Suffolk ’n’ Cool’s a few hours late this week but I don’t think that’ll affect the music … at all. We’ve got an interesting mix of genres again this week as we return to our Icelandic theme which got slightly derailed by The Great Escape specials. It’s always a temptation to generalise about Icelandic music…

SnC 376 – The Great Escape 2
A final official visit to The Great Escape again this week – this time featuring some of the bands we didn’t see as well as couple that were experienced. My personal CD blagger Pete Cogle picked up a couple of particularly interesting albums that we’ll be taking a listen to and we’ve a couple more…

SnC 375 – The Great Escape 1
A Suffolk’n’Cool special from Brighton on the south coast of England. We’re here for three days of independent music as artists from around the world showcase their talents to audiences comprising about half and half music biz folks and real music fans. Join me for The Great Escape. Minus the makeup – Blek (Mumbai,…

SnC 374 – A session with Funke
Funke and the Two Tone Baby came over to The Barn on Friday to play a few tunes and have a chat about his music. What a talented guy (and really good company too). He’s been playing for a while and his distinctive style has developed over the past 5 years into something that seriously…

SnC 373 – Iced Aussies
Music from almost opposite ends of the earth this week. We have the second of our Icelandic features and from round the other side and almost as far down, a bunch of tracks from Aussie bands that will be showcasing at The Great Escape next week. There’s quite a variety. We also have news of…

SnC 372 – Iceland calling
Some rather “musical” tunes on this week’s SnC and the start of a short Icelandic season celebrating a flavour of the remarkable music which that tiny island has to offer. Also, we’ve some news about one of the long-established music streaming services – perhaps a precursor to some big shifts to the listening landscape. I…

SnC 371 – Summertime / SummerStage
Voodoo Tapes is strongly intertwined with the southern Italian net label A Quiet Bump, and it’s great to have him on the show this week. We’ve news of some SummerStage performances in New York and, of course, some of the more interesting of the current crop of truly independent artists. Welcome to your breath of…
