An Educational Post

The past weekend was spent at Nova Festival. I only spent an evening and a morning at it but, despite the heavy rain and the treacherous, suckling mud at our feet, it was really good.

I was introduced to some spectacular musicians, all of them being very true to their characters within their music. It was very inspiring and very exciting to see so many. We were all playing for Sofar Sessions. So I have written up a list for anyone reading this of some music that’s new to me:

ANNA PHOEBE - www.annaphoebe.com/

Anna was playing Klezmer tunes with an eastern guitarist and Indian Tabla accompanying.

THE MIDNIGHT BARBERS - www.soundcloud.com/the-midnight-barbers

He borrowed my guitar…honour. And he did that looooong time eye contact thing…

WE WERE EVERGREEN - www.wewereevergreen.com/

These guys are from France.

JAY BROWN - www.soundcloud.com/jaybrown/

My goHsh, a videoH. spin and spin and spin

THE JOKER & THE THIEF- www.soundcloud.com/sofarsounds/joker-thethief-track-1-mp3

I didn’t see these boys but made friends with them.

BECAUSE OF THE BEARS - www.facebook.com/pages/because-of-the-bears/280994438585907

Apparently these guys have only been together A MONTH.
