Sandy Denny & The Strawbs
LEGEND surrounds this alliance between the first lady of British folk and the much-loved Strawbs, which many now think of as the original British rock-folk album.
It’s an endearing yet strange mix of Denny’s ethereal, fluting voice and melancholy material and The Strawbs’ more knockabout folk.
Songs such as Who Knows Where The Time Goes and Tell Me What You See In Me are flawless while the original album with out-takes and unreleased demos make it perfect for all music fans.

Joan Jett - At the 100 Club
Joan Jett is mesmerizing, a consummate
performer and musician who can still rock out with the best of
them
Distorted magazine review of the 100 club show - published

As she led the charge into a singalong of
''I love Rock''n''Roll'', which has been her calling card for almost 30 years, Jett
denied her fans not a milligram of the simple, unthreatening pleasure the song
can bring, emitting a series of fabulous yowls. She was a sound performer, a
hearty singer, and she had a vital quality, which we rarely associate with rock

Why did we ever care about Courtney Love
when we had Joan Jett? She''s been missing from this country for too long

“One of the most exciting songwriting talents in the UK.” Daily Record
Linn Records is proud to announce the release of “All My Sins”,the debut album from Glasgow’s rising star Maeve O’Boyle. Produced by Calum Malcolm (The Blue Nile),All My Sins is a master class in melodic,folk-tinged pop and features co-writes with,among others,Ricky Ross (Deacon Blue) and Francis Macdonald (Teenage Fanclub).
“All My Sins” showcases Maeve’s poignant,personal and deeply meaningful self-penned songs. Her unique blend of melodic pop,folk and rock has already won the acclaim of many established musicians.
Contributors on “All My Sins” include: legendary Blue Nile producer Calum Malcolm; Ricky Ross (Deacon Blue,James Blunt); Gordon Goudie (Echo and the Bunnymen); John McLaughlin (Busted,Westlife,Shane MacGowan); Francis Macdonald (Teenage Fanclub,BMX Bandits) John McCusker (Kate Rusby,Roddy Woomble,Transatlantic Sessions).
“All My Sins” demonstrates Maeve’s natural lyricism and exceptional voice that suggest maturity beyond her 21 years. The Daily Express called it “quite lovely collection of folk rock“ and awarded the album four stars.
Maeve O'Boyle first came to prominence in 2006 when she won a Danny award at Celtic Connections. Later that year she won the Artist's category in the Daily Record National Talent Search.
Testament to her mounting status was an entry into The Scotsman Scots Women of the Year in 2007 and a recommendation by the Daily Record showbiz editors as One to Watch For.
In 2008,Maeve performed in London and Glasgow as part of The JD Set showcase and headlined a sell-out date at Glasgow's prestigious Oran Mor before accepting an invitation to perform at Live at Loch Lomond. Her performances nationwide include dates with John Cale (Velvet Underground) and Sandi Thom on her sold out UK tour.
2009 will be the year when many audiences discover this talented young artist. With an ever-growing book of songs and a solid performing background,All My Sins is just an introduction to the talents of Maeve O’Boyle,whose second single “Carnival Attraction” is released on 1st June.
Linn, the people who brought you The Blue Nile, have done it again. This time, they intend to show off the quality of their high-tech audio products with probably the finest female voice to come out of Glasgow since Maggie Bell. Still just 21, Maeve has been creating quite a buzz since she stormed Celtic Connections three years ago. Many people have been looking forward to this release and they won’t be disappointed with the folksy-country feel of opener, Old Greenwich Times, co-written with Ricky Ross. Other stand-out tracks include Swimming Upstream and Pray It Never Happens but Maeve’s mournful, plaintive and utterly beguiling voice ensures there are no misses on this triumphant debut.

21 June 2009 The Sunday Post Rob Scott
With her debut album All My Sins Scots singer-songwriter Maeve O'Boyle has fulfilled all the early promise shown in the earlier release of the single Swimming Upstream and her 2006 Celtic Connections breakthrough appearance. Co-written and produced with well-known names including Ricky Ross, Francis Macdonald (Teenage Fanclub) and Calum Malcom (The Blue Nile), it's a classy collection of great soul-searching songs well sung. It's released by Linn on CD in Scotland tomorrow (elsewhere in October) but you can download it from online stores now and in master quality from linnrecords.com from tomorrow.
