Live | Lissie @ Dingwalls, London

Live | Lissie @ Dingwalls, London

Let me get the negative out of the way right off the bat: this was a gig to forget. And I think no-one would like to forget it more than Lissie. It was unprofessional and downright disappointing. If that’s enough negative for you, please skip to the fourth paragraph. If you’re still with me,...

EP | Lissie – Covered Up In Flowers

EP | Lissie – Covered Up In Flowers

Lissie has always enjoyed a good cover version. Youtube features almost as many videos of her taking on other people’s songs as her own, with targets as varied as Bob Dylan’s ‘Ramona’ to Metallica’s ‘Nothing Else Matters’ to Hank Williams’ ‘Wedding Bells’. So the only surprise about her releasing an EP of cover versions...

Compilation: Communion Records – The Flowerpot Sessions

There’s something that I’ve always found very compelling about music or collections of musi, which are intrinsically connected to the place in which they’re recorded.

Festival: Bestival 2010

Festival: Bestival 2010

As an Isle of Wight native, I’ve seen Bestival grow from a small, sparky young thing in 2004 to the vast, fiery dragon it is today. I worried that my favourite festival was about to grow so big that it would collapse in on itself, like a soufflé. Thankfully, a new site layout meant...

Singles round-up: Lissie, Avi Buffalo, Dreamend

Singles round-up: Lissie, Avi Buffalo, Dreamend

Lissie – Cuckoo Bouncy, accessible country-pop about driving around in a truck in small-town America, being totally wild, rebellious and free. “Let’s go driving, ‘cause there’s nowhere to go!” Yeah! It all sounds really fun, and really bad for the environment, but this is an ode to the joys of monster trucks and youthful...
