Richard Thompson makes music unlike anybody else in the recording industry, and he’s been doing it since the late 1960s. Jamming with Hendrix, covered by a who’s who of the recording industry, received an OBE from Queen Elizabeth. What’s left to prove? That he’s still relevant? That’s where Ship to Shore comes in. If there was ever...
Arriving four years after her debut album Hemet introduced the world to Niamh Regan’s powerful brand of quiet and powerful introspection, we receive the follow up Come As You Are.

Bill MacKay finds ways to challenge all your notions of what a guitarist is supposed to be on Locust Land.

They can rock with the best of them, yet they also can become North Carolina’s...
Hot on the heels of last year’s Onliness, which saw Josienne Clarke recording, reworking and reclaiming a collection of her older songs, comes Parenthesis, I.
