A full list of artists I saw at EndOfTheRoadFestival (Catching a couple of songs doesn’t count - only full performances.)

Given all the Oasis chat, here’s my piece of nostalgia retweeted. ⬇️

So who is going to win the Mercury Prize tonight? Whilst I’d really like either Charli, Beth or TLDP to win I think this year’s list is wide open in terms of who will actually win. I can’t call it. I also love the fact that the prize still has its original sponsor’s name. 😂

UK outdoor festivals are coming to a close soon. Got to say, I’m happy to sleep in a proper bed after the music for my next few (indoor) events over September and October. Looking forward to Hidden Notes (Stroud) Night Currents Festival (Southsea) and Sŵn Festival (Cardiff)

This is a great body of work. Timeless sounding. Soul, gospel, jazz, pop. Superb vocals. Impossible not to love. ‘Slang Spirituals’. It’s the new album by Lady Blackbird (Lady Blackbird) open.spotify.com/album/1sPGKewg…

I really like this interview with Michael Kiwanuka especially the last paragraph about liking music without boundaries - that really resonates with me.

Ahhh a lovely stripped back set from London Grammar tonight for Banquet Records at PRYZM Kingston They might have a new record to promote but they took requests from the audience for old songs and there was a Q&A as well.
