Interview | Filling time with Piano Magic’s Glen Johnson

For a band that have been going since 1996, released 11 albums and scored the soundtrack for a film, you might be forgiven for never having heard of Piano Magic. Initially conceived as a purely studio project, an initial disinclination to perform live and level of experimentation often way beyond their time means that...

Brian’s Mixtape | Rain

Broken Umbrella by Leslie Duss

Good afternoon, friends, Naturally owls know better than to get caught in the rain, so I am fluffed up by the fire with a hot buttered rum. Since you’re probably about to brave the outside with one of those horrific umbrella things that don’t even keep the water off your middles, I thought I’d...

Brian’s Mixtape #35: Leave the Animals Out of It

Following a delectable week of Joni Mitchell, Brian’s allowed his hippy side out of the oak tree for a pad around the forest floor.  Now, don’t get Brian wrong: he’s not about to give up his beloved dormouse suppers.  He has been thinking a lot about lentil-munching, Haribo-avoiding vegetarians a lot over the weekend,...

Brian’s Mixtape #21: An Education

Although his primary love is, obviously, all forms of beautiful music, Brian’s a bird with more than one string to his bow.  He likes nothing better than curling up in his nest on a grey winter’s day with a good book.  He’s not fussy – fiction, non fiction, myth, legend or Modernist tome.  He’s...
