‘FORGET THE BETWEEN’ by Nate Logston – CD Review by Geoffree Bennett. That memorable day at Newport, Bob Dylan changed the world of folk music and took it into the twentieth century but I suspect that he was only part of a movement which had been sheltering in bedrooms and backrooms across the western world. [...]
Murray McDowell – Summer Moon. ’24 years waiting for the light to shine on you, 24 years was never enough..’ this is an album of songs written from experience, loss and hope. A personal ‘diary’ of sorts delivered stripped back and bare. Just Murray and his guitar, and you sort of get the feeling that [...]
I first stumbled across the music of Dion McVey a few years ago on YouTube. I found his music different and refreshing – a welcome change from the 98% of X-Factor wannabe’s populating that site. Dion would be the first to admit that his tunes were not the finished article, but they certainly grabbed my [...]

I personally cannot say enough about this mixer. I use one for live performances as well as for recording and also directly into my video camera when taping live videos. This little console offers quality microphone preamplifiers with optional phantom power, balanced line inputs and the ability to connect external effects. It also boasts a multitude of built in quality [...]
