Went to Matlock today, with SheWhoIsNeverWrong, for fish and chips. Sometimes these things just have to be done and a glorious sunny March Sunday seemed just such an occasion. The UK’s premier lefty blogger, author, journalist, blues-man and all-round good-egg and snappy dresser, Dave Osler, questioned the wisdom of such a plan. “Another town, just for a [...]

Slightly harder-edged, and a touch more contemplative than the soar-away, feel-good vibes of this year’s Radiostasis release, this is the multi-talented, multi-faceted Captain Horizon revealing yet another side to their beguiling musical persona.
