Thoughts on music

This blog is intended to do "exactly what it says on the tin" so below are some of my 'Thoughts on Music'. They predominantly concern recent matters but will not always do so. I'll also happily turn to matters of the music industry more generally if and when I feel so inclined. So there! If you don't agree with something please feel free to add a comment. They are moderated by me (so I'll get to read it) and I might even reply. Above all however just enjoy whatever music you like! Richard

New Music 2014 - Part 36 - Kate In The Kettle - Swimmings Of The Head

One quarter of Carthy Hardy Farrell Young, Scottish fiddle player and singer Kate Young is the one that I know the least about live, having heard her play just one song! This is her soon-to-be-released album as Kate In The Kettle, about which more to follow very soon.

That is not to say that she doesn't write. She does.

I can tell you that, and not because of this in particular, my end of year lists are going to contain a prodigious amount of modern folk, roots and Americana - from both sides of the Atlantic. You have been warned. The journey is as fascinating as the destination, especially when the latter is still uncertain.
