Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
“Tomorrow, we aim for the Scala”, a cry to the theatrical and performance inclined that sets the senses alight in anticipation of a good time, of feeling the enormity of success as the lights on stage reveal living sentiment and a pulse of the heart that stands for all time.

The journey does not necessarily take you where you want to go, but where fate and dedication understand you were always going to be; whether in the straits of adoration and consuming hard work, or in the valley surrounded by the Hill Country Love that insists on holding you in its thrall…you are where you are meant to be and influencing all who want to be standing in the same spot.

When Love Wakes Up we must be sure to tend to it with careful hands and a just heart, for in life there is no greater crime, no larger scandal against the soul of another human being than turning our back on that in which we have awoken.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
We are urged, almost dictated to in no small measure, to believe that success is the be all and end all, the point of human existence is to reach the top of the tree, look down with commitment and contentment and almost be smug in our satisfaction for winning in the game of life.

History could have been so different, the sound of the three bar blues delivered with a frantic pace and the opening slot of the televised spectacle of Live Aid would have been another band’s preserve; for in a world of what ifs and maybes the memory or discovery of what Status Quo are to many might well have been wiped clean and forgotten, the potential of the double denim rock and one of the most endearing and enduring bands lost to another plane of existence.

Like moths to the flame, we search for the enigmatic without concern to how we will react when we get to close to the fire within.
The compelling resurgence of Blues in the 21st Century is a gift for the music lover, as once again it offers the listener a remarkable insight into the human condition of melancholy with passion and honesty, and capture the enigmatic as it happens, as it plays wonderful havoc with our senses and our soul.

Those attractive forces that bind us together, a wicked game they conceive when they know we will fall for the art that comes our way.
Ma Polaine’s Great Decline sees the Somerset pairing of Beth Packer and Clint Hough return to the music lover’s attention with their brand new studio album, Molecules, and it is with ever open arms and fondness for the uniquely sounding artists that the public will offer for the spiritual heroes of the dark introspection and commitment of the mix and jazz and blues/folk one of joy; those attractive forces once more in the hands of masters of story telling with song form.

We all love a storyteller, their words and means of delivery are at the heart of the essence of humanity; and yet we perhaps don’t give them all the credit they deserve, only venerating themselves when the emotions fall, in the audience’s mind, like A Sudden Rain that comes out of the ether and refreshes all it touches, turning parched ground to a forest of green, idyllic, lush grass.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
We lay a trail in the hope that someone comes along and gathers the signal and instruction we leave hanging in the ether so that it may be translated, so that we know in our heart our message has been heard.
Picking Up What You’re Putting Down is the understanding that we are more than our own shadows, we are the means of reception to others to have their thoughts interpreted, to send their voice onwards, and like a CB radio being used in the darkness of the home of a teenager in Britain during the 70s and 80s, the sounds we hear and notice are exotic and deeply engrained in a world once out of our reach.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Surround yourself with the best and the best that you can be reveals itself without caution, without restraint, with genuine pleasure and playful liberation of the soul.
A line up of a galaxy of stars in the heavens could not improve upon the aural spectacle that is refined and purposely driven with a groove of splendour in the new album from the legendary American hero Dion, Girl Friends.
