There's a bit of a trend for Indie folk/rock a la James Taylor / Neil Young (no bad thing) at the moment and one of the finest exponents currently is the Sheffield singer/songwriter Neil McSweeney . Despite his relatively low profile, he's worked with leading lights right across the Sheffield music scene. [...]

I'm off to see Anais Mitchell tomorrow night, and am every much looking forward to it, but it’s reminded me that I still have some lovely Richard Hawley recordings from last week to put up. It seems a while ago now, and the world has moved on apace, but last Wednesday’s evening at Colston Hall in the company of one of our favourite songwriters was a really ejoyable one. Richard Hawley Cole’s Corner in our house is, and will forever be, The Christmas Album, our go-to record for hunkering down [...]
The Sunday School. from APocketFullOfSeeds on 8tracks Radio . So another Sunday, another foggy head lungs crackling and cold coffee in the kitchen. This demands a fresh Sunday mix and here is a brief rundown of the tracks. George Harrison-All Things Must Pass: The horns on this track are perfect for throwing back the curtains and making some attempt at starting the day. Rodriguez-Crucify Your Mind: Your head is throbbing, to the kitchen fix yourself some breakfast and reflect with [...]

Alfredo Arias Horas When Amor de Días released their first album Street Of The Love Of Days in Spring of 2011, they weren't presenting themselves as successors to either The Clientele or Pipas , but given that neither of those outfits have released anything new since Alasdair MacLean and Lupe Núñez-Fern&aacut e;ndez turned their attentions to it, it's not unreasonable to expect that the new project provide at least some of the elegant pop fix that fans of either outfit would have demanded from them otherwise.

27th September 2012, Richard Hawley and his band play to the sold Newcastle Academy. An unfamiliar atmosphere was apparent to me compared to previous Richard Hawley gigs, which also appears evident within this, his now seventh solo album. With a much beefier and grittier sound the album pays tribute to Richard’s self-proclaimed first love, the guitar. After a break from gigging, taking time out to walk his dog, Richard Hawley was back on the scene with his latest Mercury nominated album ‘Standing at the sky’s edge’, opening with the title track, which [...]

So, apart from complaining about the snow is there much going on this week? The answer, I think, is not all that much so I thought I might take the opportunity to plug our next BAD FUN gig at Henry's. There are, however, a couple of things going on in which you might be interested, so let's get that dealt with first, shall we. Neu Reekie are hosting a rather interesting-looking Burns Night thing at Summerhall , but it's sold out so umm... well, tough tits really, if you don't have tickets yet. Something you [...]
Ny video fra Richard Hawley ...kan ikke komme i tanke om ord, som kan yde et så fantastisk nummer den mindste form for retfærdighed (skulle da lige være, at nummeret er forkortet med ca. 1 minut i forhold til album versionen )...

Words: Emily Solan So many good albums came out in 2012 but here are my top ten from last year, including strong debuts from the likes of TOY and Spector and excellent follow-ups from Richard Hawley and Tame Impala . Read on and watch the video playlist to find out who came out on top. YOUTUBE PLAYLIST: [...]

Christopher Dadey Considering that touring North American is an expensive proposition for a British artist, it's pretty commendable that for her first two albums - her 2007 debut Made Of Bricks and 20102s My Best Friend Is You - Kate Nash managed to not only come through town twice, but first play a relatively intimate club show for her devoted fanbase before stepping up to a bigger room the second time around (Mod Club then Phoenix, both times). Considering that she no [...]

Words: Alison Potter, Emily Solan, Howard Gorman, Rajan Lakhani, Raman K, Saam Das, and Simon Opie 2012. The year that guitar music died. The year that hip hop died. The year that dubstep died. No. None of these things happened. 2012 was as healthy a year for music as any. At FADED GLAMOUR , we picked some of our favourite albums of 2012 and put them together in a list of 25 below. Pop, R&B, hip hop and yes, even guitar music [...]
