Dawes || The Bullingdon Arms, Oxford || Sunday 15th July Unavoidable delays meant we missed the undoubted delights of Jonny Corndawg as support to Laurel Canyon’s Dawes, and by the time we squeezed into the back of a packed Bully, the main attraction were already taking centre stage.

They have just finished recording … Continue reading Introducing >>> Clear Plastic Masks
Kyle Adem turned up in our Best of the Year…So Far post recently and here is another track from his excellent album Armour. The Sunlight & The Sea is described as an existential dilemma – we’re not too sure about that, but we do know it is another damn fine song of reflective, orchestral folk from this excellent storyteller.
