The beginnings’ of The Pirate Album’s were unusual. Whilst working on his film compositions, Will Bates rented a fifteen foot long balafon (gourd-resonated xylophone) without consulting the director. His close friend and renowned percussionist Mathias Kunzli jumped to lend his hand to some of Will’s sketches, along with six other balafons, for a blossoming film project. All was going well. However, when the director and Will then met at the studio, he was neither impressed nor amused.

‘Clay’ is the latest offering from Lithuanian-Canadian artist Aistis. The 11-song alternative folk album emerged during the final touches of his upcoming release ‘Caviar For Seagulls.’ Through a blend of reality and fiction, ‘Clay’ is set to stun listeners with his exploration of the cyclical nature of complicated relationships, painting an atmospheric soundscape of a character ensnared in romantic complexities.

WOMAD, the brainchild of Peter Gabriel back in 1982, has flourished into a global cultural phenomenon, and this year’s festival, held from July 25th to 28th at Charlton Park, once again lived up to its reputation. This family-friendly event, famed for its eclectic workshops and children's activities, saw its grounds filled with the sounds of diverse music genres, while food stalls offered a culinary trip around the world. Whether you were munching on classic fish and chips or Apple Crumble and Custard my Favourite or savouring exotic Tangine, WOMAD ensured no one went hungry.

Kina’s journey from self-releasing in a provincial town of Naples to international recognition is a testament to his unique blend of lo-fi, bedroom pop. The world knows his songs, now it’s time to know the artist.
