I saw them on Later a few weeks ago and yeah, I rather liked it. I suspect that was the same show that Skindred were on because I wouldn't typically watch Later these days (he seems too anti-metal).

That's exactly the reason I watched the show.

Newport's finest! I've seen them live and they were utterly brilliant. Can't remember who they were supporting, maybe Rob Zombie, but they were the best "warm up" act I've ever seen - had the place quite literally bouncing.

I can't listen to more than 3-4 tracks before I get bored of the genre, but sometimes it's nice to kick back and simplify things a little.

(Obvs listen to these on the streaming platform of your choice - youtube vids added for demo only).

Rachael & Vilray performed this track on Jools Holland Hootenanny at the start of this year - fabulous harmonies.


And the Rachael (Price) half of that duo (with a little help) performing a version of Every Time We Say Goodbye that should make Mick Hucknall cry. It sounds awesome cranked up....

Sorry to bang on about Ren, but I just discovered the chronology of these three songs and how listening to them (properly, e.g. hearing all the lyrics) hits really hard. The guy really is an incredible storyteller.

Jenny's Tale


Screech's Tale


Violet's Tale

Blimey.

You seen his other stuff? If not, or for anyone else, Jenny’s, Screech’s and Violet’s Tale. In that order.

yep, again Gav - we've already had the discussion and again, you've come to the correct opinion!

Worth listening/watching some of the Big Push covers street performances too - the guy has no end of talent.

Shows how much detail of this thread I actually took in

There were a lot of videos of him doing street performances on TikTok which were amazing, but I’ll look for the big push ones, noted!

Saw this young lass on Jools Hootenanny last night - stunning performance

Quite liked that!

You lot are weird

There are hardly any bleeps and bloops in this thread

Crunchy turntable spider finger nonsense:

Short interlude - this sounds way funkier to me than the original (possibly swayed completely by the fact I'm not a huge fan of Sophie EB's voice.

You’re never too young for Maiden!!

I have a new found appreciation for this sort of stuff as I attempt and stupendously fail to make something musical using a sampler and various related noise making tools.

Really enjoyed that as background music while doing a load of video editing, thanks!
