Iāve got tickets to see Ben de la Cour in Liverpool on Sunday.
He recorded this album with the great Jim White ![]()
Also caught Mark Ryan in Chester last Tuesday. Here he is with Katie McGregor from Igloo Hearts with a tribute to Paul OāGrady/Lilly Savage from Birkenhead
Got myself a ticket to see them in October this year. It should be interesting!!

Do report back.
Microtonal Rasputin, Fabienk, is a blast! ![]()
Someone put me onto this band. Not the sort of music I listen to often but occasionally itās good to spread your wings. Love the lyrics in this one (transcript below the video if you want it).

It took me a bit to get into Geese. The first time I listened to the new album it put me off, but I gave it another chance and itās definitely grown on me.
I donāt speak a word of the language, donāt know anything about the song, but it might be the best thing Iāve heard all year.
Me neither, but I enjoyed listening to it. Itās fascinating how music and art in general transcends language as a communication method and connects people everywhere. More of that please.
On the same subjectā¦
Those that know me, know I get some good feeds from the daughter I corrupted in the cradle and the cycle is now repeated as her daughter, equally musically abused in the crib, both send me some really exciting new artists (mostly on the heavy side!!).
2nd Gen has been sharing Maphra this week and 3rd gen is also extoling the virtues of this extraordinary vocalist, who is battling Spotify who dropped her tracks, as some āquestionsā were asked - she is fighting to get them reinstated. Hearing the first offering I was a little sceptical as it is so good and the AI suspicion surfaced but as my old vocal coach, Mr Liepe is convinced during his many analysis of her covers, I am happy she is genuine and just a wonderful listen. #noteveryonesjava !! #goosebumps

Definitely! Thank you for the share! Checking it out now ![]()
Very few guitarists can pull off instrumental covers and make them sound interesting. This guy is amazing at it.

Takes it to another level methinks ![]()
Canāt get enough of these vox.
I love listening to Justin Johnson.
Social media is often toxic, I avoid it as much as possible, but every so often the algorithms hit the jackpot. I was not expecting this on my youtube feed today. For the non-Australians this is a legendary song written by Rob Hirst who died a couple of months ago. Performed here by another Australian music icon Paul Kelly and a young up and coming indigenous artist Jess Hitchcock. Rob wouldāve loved this Iām sure.
