So I’ve been running the production on a new set of sessions for St Pancras Station, called, oddly enough, The Station Sessions. It’s been a lot of fun to set up and get going the last three weeks, and oddly enough there’s been a huge amount of overlap with the artists I used to book [...]

We’re in session with the wonderful Nina Nastasia today – can’t wait to film it. The rockfeedback sessions are my favourite thing to film, especially when it’s just one person, and especially if that person is as talented as Nina. We spend most of our time, before the act arrives, perfecting minute details. We’re contstantly [...]

I’ve been to two gigs just recently that have been ‘powered’, as it were, by a front-woman with a voice in the calibre that verges on ‘ridiculous’. What’s been confusing me is the reaction to those voices. People seem to be fine with women either having softly-softly vocals, throaty whispers, delicate breaking high notes etc… [...]

I’ve just made my first Spotify playlist! It’s for the bands from the last blog. If any of those verbose and praiseful descriptions I wrote interested you, then check out a couple of songs from each of the bands here: http://bit.ly/2010spotify The only ones mysteriously missing are Surfer Blood. Their album isn’t available in the [...]

I think most people write these at the end of the year before, to appear more prophetic should the recommendations come through. Having just made a few compilation CDs for friends, however, I thought I’d share a couple of the bands that are exciting me at the moment, a couple of months into 2010.

I’ve had the good fortune to spend some time with the rather wonderful Mumford and Sons recently. They released their debut album, Sigh No More, this Monday (it dropped in at number 4 in the mid-weeks, which is amazing), and are generally the folk quartet of the moment. The complete win-over was being wowed by [...]

I’ve been running a festival for two years now, along with Nick Ward, my IKTOMS co-conspirator, and a growing team of good people (see also: TABARNAK and BAOBABS). The festival’s name is Wired Festival. It started across both stages of the Cross Kings pub in Kings Cross, on the last Saturday of September 2007. It [...]

I’m not much one for redirecting people to youtube videos – but I thought this one for Oren Lavie was just beautiful. He’s got a voice like Buddy Mondlock, and the video is *wonderful*. Enjoy!

I’ve not really talked about what I’ve been up to since starting at Rockfeedback. I suppose that ever-present excuse of busy-ness of the business could apply, but especially when the business is fun, I think the real excuse is the goodtimes spent in the world non-digital. So it’s been two weeks since my first big [...]
