New Music Thursday - Melys, Second Wind.

Not pre-heard any of these, but expecting beautiful tunes, sultry vocals, and deep dark pain in the lyrics.

Tonight I discovered Norwegian Death Jazz. Quite an eye opener but also epic!

The band is Agabas (don’t seem to be on here yet!)

This is a fascinating debate that is being played out kindly, robustly and interestingly. Let’s hope it stays like this here! Well worth a read!

There’s a really interesting energy here. Lots of following of each other and finding new people and spaces. While I’ve connected with some folk from x, it’s also a new and exciting space. Different but a little familiar!

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops.

They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities.

Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish .

Thank you.
