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.


The Express - VERDICT 4/5
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 16/06/2010

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 - decorum. - The Daily Telegraph review of the 100 club show - published16/06/2010

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

“That rarest of things: a singer who actually lives up to the extravagant claims made on their behalf.” Jazzwise

Brand new studio album from Claire Martin!

Britain’s leading female jazz singer, Claire Martin, presents an acerbic look at what it takes to be a jazz musician in the celebrity-obsessed 21st century. The original and contemporary songs on “A Modern Art” are presented with a cool-edge, tinged with a touch of irony and razor-sharp wit.  It’s an album which Martin firmly insists “is my best ever”.

A Modern Art

Claire Martin successfully creates ‘new’ jazz classics as she tackles the thorny subject of jazz as a contemporary art form – one routed in tradition but as relevant and vibrant as ever.

• “A Modern Art” is inspired by the tragic death of pioneering jazz musician Esbjörn Svensson, who Claire pays tribute to with a heartfelt rendition of Love is real.
• “A Modern Art” features songs by the 21st century’s finest writers; Michael Franks, Donald Fagen, Cy Coleman, Rogers & Hart and Rebekka Bakken. Mark Winkler has contributed lyrics to a great Joshua Redman melody on the track ‘lowercase’ and ‘As We Live and Breathe’ is by the New York Voices’ vocalist Lauren Kinhan.
• The title song, A Modern Art, is Claire’s own take on the mass dumbing-down of musical standards in popular music.
• Claire has played at the UK’s top jazz venues including Ronnie Scott’s, the 606 Club, Pizza Express Jazz Club and is a popular performer at the UK summer festivals.  Claire will end 2009 with a Theatre Tour throughout the UK in Autumn.
• Claire is known to thousands of jazz fans across the UK as a presenter of Jazz Line-Up, the flagship jazz show on the UK’s Radio Station of the Year, BBC Radio 3.
