Podcast: Play in new window
A right old mix of music from California, New Jersey, New York and British Columbia then across the Atlantic for a couple of tracks from good old Blighty. By the skin of our teeth we just managed to avoid a session on the spoons from my chum Rob Martin who just popped up on Skype showing off his new iMac. Perhaps I should get him to play along with a track sometime … then we’ll need a voting system too so we can ensure that it never happens again!Fortunately there has been yet more real music happening this week after the Foy Vance show at the Arts Centre in Norwich on Tuesday we had another trip for Nordgarden and others at a new venue, Grapevine at the Bedford, also in Norwich. www.myspace.com/grapewvine4music Nordgarden came back here and stayed over after the gig. What a great guy to have around the place. Musical all the way through, he woke up singing and we recorded a session here in the barn on Thursday morning before heading off (right) for the London train to make his way to Stansted airport and back to Oslo. He’s due back in the UK in a couple of weeks so I’ll let you know about dates and we’ll play something from the session then.I’ve been in London since Monday heady a mix of meeting up with friends and some fairly high-pressure work so probably not a lot from me this time but plenty of interesting music.IntroHappy – Jimmie Bratcher (Missouri, USA)www.jimmiebratcher.comDear John – Moxie (California, USA)It’s really very simple…guitars, bass & drums w/ vocals.

With quirky lyrics about hardcore punk moshing and feral feline population, Sarah’s songs draw the attention of her audience. She works the stage with an rhythmic guitar style, a fresh melodic line, and a candid stage presence.www.sarahdonner.com/Is it U Jah – AShunDa (Maryland, USA)Not a lot I can tell other than that AShunDa was born in Barbados.
