There are some singer/songwriters whose music stays with you long after hearing it, drawing you back for another listen. Chris Watkins and his band Drunk Poets make that kind of music, reminiscent of Bob Dylan, Shawn Mullins and Lou Reed – simple, pure and honest, but always with a compelling story. His smooth low-key vocals are incredibly soothing to the ear, yet at the same time quite powerful. Following up on their superb 2015 album London Can Take It, Watkins/Drunk Poets dropped their latest album Lights All Askew in July 2016, and it’s another work of musical art. Drunk poetry indeed!

I purchased Leonard Cohen’s new album You Want It Darker on Friday, and have listened to it a few times now. It is to be frank an astonishing record that slowly reveals itself. The language is restrained and precise, but still with a depth and gravity that isn’t easily comparable to other artists. What I […]

There’s an EP release on the horizon and the new album is going to coming out in early 2017 so keep your eyes peeled. […]
What a glorious venue the Albert Hall, Manchester is. Having never stepped foot inside this hidden gem, it quickly became one of my favourite venues to visit. The recently renovated Chapel, housed above the quirky German inspired beer palace Alberts Schloss, is a real treat for gig goers. I couldn’t think of a more fitting venue for James Vincent McMorrow to perform a medley of his beautiful tracks in.
The first act of the day for me were the psychedelic rockers from Bristol, The Shimmer Band, at Underdog. Having supported Blossoms and Milburn on their recent tours, it is definitely true to say that these 4 lads from Bristol are already being recognised for their musical prowess.
