Independent music reviews across England, mostly the midlands. Ferociously independent and a positive journalism ethos - we only talk about what we like and think others will, we see no need to put anyone down. If we don't like it we won't talk about it
Fancy a whole day of grass roots music for £20?? Some top class acts here worth checking out.

Why do the Scottish do beautiful songs about death better than anyone else?

In particular King Creosote - this is stunning
