Hi, I can recommend Climbing Trees & Family Jools. If rescuing great albums from obscurity figures at all then oblong self-released a couple of exceptional albums in Briiliant...Gwd (2017) and Hollaluog (2019) that need rescuing. Same applies to Houdini Dax with Naughty Nation (2015). Happy New Year

I'm not saying smellies & socks are actually banned as #Christmas presents, but they don't make the official photo! A particularly good crop of novels by the looks.
Thanks to my lovely family for making this another wonderful #Christmas. #Christmas2024

In Defence Of ... Christmas Music Christmas music tends to evoke strong emotions. However if it sends you into a state of puce faced apoplexy then you're clearly listening to the wrong sort..

Don’t feel like I’ve interacted with the usual bunch of #christmasmusic fans & writers as much this year . Possibly because some are here some are still on X - or I’m disorganised - anyway wrote this a year or 2 back www.thevpme.com/track-of-the....

The best Christmas compilation you can buy this year! Hear Mickey Bradley praise its brilliance and play a few tracks on his latest BBC Radio show (around 1:30 in)… www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

You are an eminently quotable man. I very much liked being called ' a man high on his own supply of Christmas cheer'. That'll do for me!

'Have Yourself A Merry Indie Christmas Volumes 1-4 are a guidebook to an alternative universe of Christmas music that few know exists '. @xmasunderground.bsky.social

If you love indie music (and we know you do), this is a Christmas must have.

Several IPHOF inductees and Advent Calendar artists have contributed tracks.
