10th Anniversary of ‘Out There’ with SACD
To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of 'Out There', we've repressed the long out of print, half speed mastered 180g LP and included the hybrid SACD of the album. It's a one off, strictly limited pressing that will be exclusively launched at the National Audio Show. This limited edition pressing will be exclusively available to show goers, prior to going on general release the following week (Monday 19th September) on this very site. It will retail at £25. Forever associated with 'Only a Womans Heart', massively underrated Irish singer songwriter Eleanor McEvoy raises the stakes with an ambitious self-produced, self-arranged album. “Out ...
Georgia Ruth : Fossil Scale
PRE-ORDER THE ALBUM HERE Welsh singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Georgia Ruth has announced a new album Fossil Scale, due for release on CD October 7, 2016 via Navigator Records with the vinyl to follow in early December on Diverse Records. The record is the follow up to 2013’s Welsh Music Prize winning Week Of Pines - a feat Georgia never contemplated she’d achieve for her critically acclaimed, bilingual debut album. The record prompted the Guardian to tip her as ‘One of the British folk discoveries of the year’, with Georgia going on to be twice nominated in the 2014 BBC Radio ...
Eleanor McEvoy : Naked Music
Naked Music is the title of Irish star Eleanor McEvoy's new album, recorded alone in the studio to create an intimate collection of her music at its most raw - one instrument, one voice, performed live. Best known for her songs Sophie and the Irish standard Only A Woman's Heart, Eleanor's new album features exclusive artwork by the famed painter Chris Gollon. She asked Chris to do a painting for the cover in this solitary context. Chris was so taken with the songs he completed four paintings in response - two on the 'Naked' theme, and two related to song titles ...
Amy Duncan : Undercurrents
Amy Duncan is a Scottish singer/songwriter based in Edinburgh. With her melodious acoustic sound and emotional songwriting infused with remarkable honesty, Amy has established herself as one of the brightest musical talents in Scotland. Undercurrents was funded by Creative Scotland, and produced by Calum Malcolm (The Blue Nile, Prefab Sprout), and follows on from her acclaimed 2013 Linn Records release “Cycles of Life”. Since then Amy was chosen by Showcase Scotland as one of 2 Scottish acts to perform at the Eastern Canadian Music Alliance in April 2014 with trio members Fiona Rutherford (harp) and Lawrie Macmillan (bass) and was ...
Kris Drever : If Wishes Were Horses
To simply call Kris Drever ‘a folksinger’ would be like saying that LAU, the acclaimed band in which he also sings and plays, is ‘a Scottish folk trio’. Both true descriptions but reductive ones that only hint at the progressive joys contained in the music of each. Kris Drever launches into 2016 with a brand new studio album If Wishes Were Horses and a supporting tour. With it he celebrates his first decade as an acclaimed solo artist and songwriter. The new album is his first for six years (during which time his band Lau have established themselves as the most ...

Yep. It all came in today on a big lorry. We stopped traffic for ages while me and Vaughan ruined our already fragile bodies by unloading about a billion* boxes and then finding places to put them in the shop. We debated building a cool fort but figured we might need to get to the [...]

New Danny & The Champs album on Loose.
Since we put Danny and the gang’s last album out on vinyl, we’ve put his band on, got to see him play numerous times, become friends, got drunk and had him stay on my sofa. Therefore we’re not too upset that the new LP is coming out on Loose (who also happen to be our [...]

Eddi Reader : The Songs Of Robert Burns – Update.
These updates are proving that I’m not very good at updating! We had a few little artwork issues with this one, sometimes it’s impossible to fit everything from a CD booklet onto a gatefold sleeve so it takes a few attempts to come up with something that everyone’s happy with. We’ve done that now. As [...]
