Quinn Sullivan — All Around The World

by | Jan 23, 2021

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Quinn Sullivan first appeared on our radar in 2015 when he was opening for the legendary Buddy Guy at Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith, London, United Kingdom. The crowd was absolutely blown away with his immense guitar skills and his catchy songs including ‘Midnight Highway’.

Eric Gales – The Bookends

by | Feb 6, 2019

A release from the loose cannon Eric Gales always turns out to be intriguing. I reckon this is because he will listen to Holst, Howlin’ Wolf, Herbie Hancock..to Blues, bluegrass, Brahms and Billie Holiday – and that could be one of my record shelves.

Maybe it is because we know about them, but yet again this year we seem to have lost so many creative and entertaining characters. And yet again we can be inspired to remember them and keep their music alive…

Supersonic Blues Machine – Californisoul

by | Nov 6, 2017

This second SBM release consolidates their reputation as a recording outfit of great skill and versatility and the group has undoubtedly benefited from recent live forays. Totally at ease in the company of any musician, the trio put everyone’s contribution in a great dynamic setting and this means each track has its own atmosphere. No wonder that star artists queue to get into the studio with these chaps.

Bootsy Collins – World Wide Funk

by | Nov 5, 2017

I have fond memories of that exciting show at Hammersmith, Mothership descending and all and featuring Parliament, Funkadelic, Bootsy’s Rubber Band with Mudbone Cooper AND a spliff-riding standup guy…so this new Bootsy and guests set is pretty welcome.

Popa Chubby – The Catfish

The big man is back with his kerosene guitar licks and powerful voice and for those who love his urban, edgy style it’s great news. For me, he’s like Eric Gales in that he is consistently punchy as a player and deliverer of songs but really hits home on the higher-quality material.
