Great new music from independent labels and artists all around the world

Something Happened – a session at the barn (Norfolk and Suffolk, UK) A live session from the Suffolk’n’Cool barn features the considerable talents of Terence Blacker and Derek Hewitson, collectively known as Something Happened.  The repertoire comprises new songs of their own and some lovely old songs from up to 100 years ago. 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…

On Suffolk’n’Cool this week, music from Northern France, Barcelona, New York, Los Angeles, Marseille, Copenhagen and Wolverhampton including a couple of SnC exclusives.  We’ve also got the result of the Artist of the Month award as well as free music for you to download and news of a hotel for guitar heros and wannabe heros…

 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…
