Festive Fayre (2): Skinny Lister And Beans On Toast

Beans On Toast and Skinny Lister have written and recorded a festive ditty called This Christmas, which is a cracker (no pun intended). While touring the US with Frank Turner, the riotous, rum-soaked troupe and the ragged-throated troubadour bonded, leading to this inevitable collaboration. This Christmas is crammed full of poignant, bittersweet, funny but ultimately uplifting anecdotes of seeing family and friends during the holidays.

Guadalupe Plata Announce New Album

Guadalupe Plata could easily claim the title of most deathly delta blues outfit to ever emerge from Andalusia. Channelling red hot passion for the blues into Hispanic roots, theirs is a sound that lingers in the sunset like a voodoo curse.
