INTRODUCING HERTFORDSHIRE BASED ROCK GODS, ROOM 94....
Room 94 are a four piece pop rock band from Hertfordshire, made up of Kieran Lemon on Vocals, Dean Lemon on Drums & Vocals, Sean Lemon on Guitars & Vocals and Kit Tanton on Bass.
We caught up with Sean at a motorway service station just off the M5 where we grabbed an overpriced frothy coffee in a styrofoam cup (with our names spelt incorrectly by the rather splendid looking but clearly foreign assistant). We found a booth, got comfy and had a good chat about the making of their new album, how they have amassed 330,000 Facebook followers and receiving valentines cards from Megan Fox, here's how we got on....

Angie Jean
Angie is a multi-talented singer/songwriter from Nottingham, UK. Her debut album ‘Reflecting Echoes’ was released on 25th August 2014. Mixing a sophisticated blend of 10 unique ambient tracks, Reflecting Echoes is acoustic folk in genre. The title of the album was taken from Angie’s lyrics to the 5th track 'Pink Balloon'.
The album was a finely crafted collaboration with Rob Hartley. Rob writing the music, playing guitars, bass, harmonica and mandolin with Angie co-writing the songs and recording vocals.
Angie is not only a talented musician but visual artist as well. Her drawing, based on ‘Pink Balloon’ was chosen for the album’s cover, giving the album a homespun and timeless quality.
In addition to her solo work, Angie is one of the founding members of a local band, Cranberry Flick, a 7 piece swing, jazz and blues band.

INTRODUCING DEVON BASED FILTHY INDIE BLUES DUO, MORIATY....
Moriaty are Jordan West (Guitar/Vocals) and Matthew Partridge (Drums/Vocals/Ginger Hair), they grew up in Teignmouth and the 'mean streets' of Keyham.
Influenced by the likes of Blind Willie McTell, Muddy Waters, Bill Hayley, Dylan, Zeppelin, Sabbath and Muse, they fuse a myriad of genres to produce some rip roaring, filthy ass music that's guaranteed to get your toes tapping and your head nodding.
We arranged a date with them in Teignmouth, it was a nice day so we decided to go 'crabbing' on the quay. I went to get the crabbing lines, Matthew & Jordan went to get the supplies (beers) and off we went. We dropped our lines, cracked open some 'coldies' and had a good chat about recording in the deepest depths of Cornwall, owning a 'Blue Peter' badge and playing mountain side gigs to a loads of pissheads, here's how we got on....
