The 2009 album Here’s The Tender Coming by The Unthanks was Mojo’s folk album of the year. Uncut mag said: “It’s an often exquisite mixture of light and dark, instinct and artistry that honours both the power of old songs and the stoicism of the lives that shaped them.” Beautiful LP. |

The 1970 Van Morrison album Moondance is among Van-the-Man’s finest work. The LP was written and produced by himself, and was critically acclaimed. Includes Caravan, Into the Mystic, the title track (which I’ve never been a fan of…gasp!), and Come Running. It’s been called ‘the great white soul album’. Classic Van! |

The latest album Open Here by Sunderland’s Field Music is a pop masterclass! In The Quietus album review they describe their sound as “the jerky riffs and refrains, the tightly-coiled songs, the unusual time signatures, the precise funk.” It’s everything a music fan will love. |
