We've heard great things about a young jazz singer-songwriter from Plymouth called Izzie Anson, we also heard that she'd been invited to perform at this years Sidmouth Fringe Festival and wanted to chat to her ahead of her set. We got in touch and had a good chat about her recent recording session in Nashville, how she got on performing at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival and who she'd choose to be in her very own 'Supergroup'....

We covered a couple of evenings at the Sidmouth Fringe Festival in 2016 and after seeing the lineup for this year's event, we wanted to get involved again. We decided to contact some of the acts and have a chat to them about the festival, find out a bit about them and throw in a few curve balls, read on to see how we got on....

It’s not just the Glastonbury Festival that’s taking a break in 2018, Cornbury also bows out this year, and maybe never to return. The family festival which has attracted great reviews for its music line-up and feel good atmosphere over the years said goodbye last weekend to the Oxfordshire countryside.

I was handed a CD a couple of years ago by a PR Manager in London, I played the CD on the way home to sunny Devon and was hooked, the style of music, that awesome sounding vocal, it all just wrapped around me and took me away to a warm and fluffy place!

A couple of years down the line, I heard that The Goat Roper Rodeo Band were appearing at this year's Chagstock Festival. I sent an email introducing myself and included a bunch of questions, a few days later, I received an email from the band. 

Read on to find out all about how the name originated, Eggs Benedict and how they managed to coerce the singer from The Magic Numbers to produce their album....

When we heard that Skinny Lister were appearing at Chagstock this year, I immediately put pen to paper (okay, fingers to keyboard) and set about dropping them a line to see if they'd be up for doing an interview feature for the website.

Naturally, they jumped at the opportunity!

Read on to find out about their time at Glastonbury Festival this year, their top three tips to surviving a festival and most importantly, who they's pick as next year's headliners at Chagstock!

We received a promo copy of the debut album from The Amazons, a band that are currently flying high, receiving praise from some of the most prestigious movers and shakers in the musical world. We heard that they'll be touring the UK in October and wanted to chat to them ahead of the tour kicking off. We chatted to singer Matt Thomson about how he survives music festivals, what he's planning on doing to keep sane whilst on the road and which bands he's currently listening to on his iPod, read on to find out more....

We saw The Hot 8 Brass Band at Lemonfest in Newton Abbot last year but being a festival, we only stuck around for a couple of tracks before being whisked away to cover another stage. We heard that they were going to be playing again at The Phoenix in Exeter and this time, we wanted to make sure that we were there to cover the entire show!

We heard that GEEZER, a 3 piece American stoner blues act were playing the Exeter Phoenix on the opening night of the their UK tour, we popped along to see what all the fuss was about...

Muse have today announced an intimate live show at The O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Saturday August 19 in aid of The Passage, London’s largest voluntary sector resource centre for homeless and vulnerable people.

Billed as a ‘By Request’ show, ticket holders can choose up to ten of their favourite Muse tracks and all votes submitted will be collated and used to curate the set on the night.

Hayseed Dixie (a linguistic play on the name of the band AC/DC) is an American band which formed in 2001 with the release of their first album, A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC. The band performs a mixture of cover versions of hard rock songs and original compositions in a style that is a unique fusion of bluegrass and rock music and they are acknowledged as the creators of the musical genre "Rockgrass".

We heard they were appearing at Beautiful Days Festival this year and thought it was time to get in touch with them and have a chat. We were lucky to grab 10 minutes with the lead singer John Wheeler, here's how we got on....

The Blow Monkeys are a British new wave/pop band that formed in 1981 with their first single, "Live Today Love Tomorrow" being released in 1982. They subsequently enjoyed a successful career with several hit singles and albums across the 1980s before splitting up at the beginning of the 1990s.

Their first hit song was "Digging Your Scene", which hit No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in August, 1986. They had four albums and eleven singles in the UK charts from 1986 and 1990.

In late 2007, the original band members reunited, going on to release five albums.

For the lucky people attending Glas-Denbury Festival, they will be headlining on Saturday 8th July and no doubt playing all of their classic hits and tracks from their newer material too.

We thought it would be an opportune moment to chat to Dr Robert from the band about his festival survival tips, what he thinks of them in general and WHO he thinks should headline the 2018 event!

We wander prematurely into an already busy Colston Hall and as I look around I am taken a back at the crowd forming around us, turns out the woman who sang ‘let it go’ in the hit kids film Frozen is playing next door. Once the flock of vertically challenged princesses packing the foyer disperses, the crowd left were what previously I had pictured, band t-shirt clad and a mix of strong fringes, long locks and bald spots....

Last Friday night Debbie Harry and Blondie took to the stage at The Eden project, one of just a couple of UK shows that they are performing this year, read on to see how the evening unfolded....
