It was a pleasure to chat in detail with Scottish vocal stylist Maggie Bell at an eaterie in downtown Fulham…she is lively, friendly and full of great stories.

Read MoreBlack Stone Cherry – Black To Blues EP
As anyone who has seen Black Stone Cherry perform will know, these Kentucky lads are never far from the Blues. The clues are the way they play off each other, the use of dynamics, the occasional slide guitar but moreover the raspy vocal stylings of Chris Robertson.

Read MorePopa 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.
