Christian, World Music, Folk

Scottish Christian songwriter. Far to old too and far too ugly to be a pop star.

Tom Bolton

MyMusicStream — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 21:30:32 +0100

Acoustic, Folk, Alternative

Tom Bolton writes and plays sparkling folk-acoustic songs with a mystical twist, drawing on an eclectic brew of folk, pop, roots and rock inspirations. Distinctive melodies and rhythms are woven through with well-crafted lyrics. A variety of influences shine out without obvious effort... hints of everything from Richie Havens, Jefferson Airplane and Nick Drake, through to David Sylvian and beyond. The result of more than thirty years of journeying into music is a solid collection of original work, first documented in the 2003 album �Acoustic Caravan�

In 2006, having played solo gigs for a number of years, he was joined onstage by Richard Grace. Tom�s soaring vocals and sparse acoustic guitar, accompanied by Richard�s deep-velvet double-bass and harmonies, have earned them a reputation as engaging performers at folk and acoustic venues around Australia.

�When I Cross the River� is Tom's second album, released November 2007. It was recorded and produced by Jeremy P Martin, with a diverse collection of musicians weaving a rich canvas of sounds around the core of vocals, acoustic guitar and acoustic double-bass. It has been attracting very positive reviews and getting regular airplay on independent radio in Australia, Europe, Canada and USA.

Folk, Acoustic, World Music

Arthur Doo & The Toerags are a 6 piece Irish folk band with a lead mandolin/banjo player, a guitarist, bassist, bodhran player and two girls who play violin, flute and whistles and sing beautifully. We play traditional tunes from ireland, scotland, england and france and arrange and deliver them in an untraditional way - usually at breakneck speed. We play folk clubs, pubs, ceilidhs, (with a caller), and festivals. We have our own PA if needed. We are based in Southend-on-sea and play around the South East. Your feet are guaranted to tap and we'll probably make you smile too.

Patrick McCann

MyMusicStream — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:40:37 +0100

Folk, Indie, Acoustic

McCann has been a drifter these past four years
He plucks through melodic pieces that
eventually climax into an erratic mess of vibrato and reverb. "Last
Chances For Lost Causes" is the debut of this mess mixing in apathy,
regret and loathing for specific individuals in society. The album
can most definitely be described as "melodramatic curiosity." McCann
cannot answer the multitude of questions posed throughout the album,
but can only critique them and know there is something wrong with how
human beings interact with one another. Ranging from the decadent
insanity of the Velvet Underground to the soft and sporadic melodies of
Neutral Milk Hotel McCann has a broad sound that doesn't like to stay
in one place and has been touring around the OH and PA areas frequently... www.myspace.com/lastchancesforlostcauses

"Eggman & The StarKillers play all original funky songs like Beck, Sublime, Bob Marley, Talking Heads, Jack Johnson--Eggman started by mixing African sounding stuff with rap and rock and then started working with dancers and actors and now the whole thing is really, REALLY strange...sort of funky poetry rap stuff.
