Really sad to hear of the death of Danny Thompson, he provided the bottom line to most of my favourite records. His CV spans jazz, world music, folk, pop, blues and so on. Here's a short video about him.

Brilliant new single from the Bluebells with footage of the International Brigade. It is dedicated to those who fought Franco back then and to those that continue to fight fascism today.

"Taybeh Brewing Co, a Palestinian microbrewery, has secured a national listing with the Co-op for its new collaboration with Scottish B Corp Brewgooder. The move comes as the retailer ends trade with Israeli suppliers following a member-backed policy on ethical sourcing."
