Review Date: August 24 – 27, 2012 Review By: Jeremy Searle Location: Shrewsbury Shrewsbury Folk Festival goes from strength to strength, selling out earlier each year; something that’s as much about the non-musical side as it is about the bill. A big site where you can park next to your tent, superb food, excellent beer […]

Review Date September 20, 2012 Review By David Knowles Location Gibson Guitar Studio, London This was a very special album launch for press and a few lucky fans who won tickets to see Scottish blues singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Sandi Thom. Food and drink was laid on for all to partake in, although the beer ran out halfway through
