It's all change at the top in the UK, and this cartoon by Peter Brookes in The Times gives a clue as to what I think. Read the blue plaque carefully!

Kathryn James - Drifting Out Of Control

Kathryn is a singer-songwriter from London, UK. She's a born and bred Londoner, but now resides somewhere in Bedfordshire. She has a captivating voice, great lyrics with masterly yet personal phrasing.

Amplifico - The Comedy Stops Here

Amplifico are a well established alt-pop 3-piece from Edinburgh. Their tunes are quirky, sweet, epic, ethereal, endearing, soul baring, striking and danceable all at the same time. Their lyrics are both heart on sleeve and tongue in cheek. What holds it together like a super-strength glue is without a doubt the voice and the haunting heart felt melodies. Visit their website to sign up for news of their album, due to be launched in October.



Bitter:Sweet - Bittersweet Faith and Dirty Laundry

When all three converge, the result is something that goes beyond any realm of possibility …

This week, for soundbed music I used various extracts from Sanctuary by Etherfysh
. The title music is by Tragic Shell Suit Disaster.
