There's a biography of Chris Knox out this week - the author Craig Robertson contacted me a few years ago, as back in 1995 when I was at Ak Uni, I made a half hour documentary on Chris and he wanted to see it.
Anyway, I dug out the digital file and it's now online, enjoy! youtu.be/VQjvic02S8M?...

"The seaside theme is there in my music. All that world means a lot to landlocked Sheffield β itβs all a bit seedy, but a creative outlet"
Sahar Ghadirian speaks to James Leesley, aka Studio Electrophonique, ahead of his debut album release this Friday β¬οΈ

Aw, it's really touching. I hope you love it as much as I do! Just found out they're supporting The Divine Comedy at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall in October. Bet it's sold out...

Had a chat with the sound person after they played this beautiful song by a (new to me) Canadian artist called Jon McKiel. It's like some heavenly meeting of a Bob Dylan backing track on a loop with Sam Burton or Chris Cohen on vocals π
