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

  • Suk’s transcriptions turn the songs into exquisitely beautiful instrumental miniatures.
Dvorak - Songs My Great-Grandfather Taught Me - Transcriptions by Josef Suk of Dvorak Songs

Josef Suk has been the leading representative of the Czech violin school for six decades. His grandfather, also Josef Suk, was a member of the legendary Bohemian Quartet, Dvořák’s favourite pupil and also his son-in-law. Josef Suk known not only as a lofty interpreter of the great concertos but also as an outstanding chamber musician. He officially retired from the public platform after the 2004 Prague Spring but has since made occasional appearances. He has recorded an enormous amount of the music of his great-grandfather, Antonín Dvořák, and this album of song transcriptions is an extension of that work. In making them he has been faithful to the originals, especially in the Biblical Songs. ‘I have done a little more in the Gipsy Songs,’ he says, ‘but not in the piano, only in the violin.’

In the years since Vladimir Ashkenazy first came to prominence on the world stage in the 1955 Chopin Competition in Warsaw he has built an extraordinary career, not only as one of the most renowned and revered pianists of modern times but as an artist whose creative life encompasses a vast range of activities and continues to offer inspiration to music-lovers across the world. Conducting has formed the largest part of his activities for the past twenty years. He took up the new position of Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor to the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in January 2009 and collaborates with them on a number of exciting projects but still occasionally returns to the studio as a pianist, mainly for Decca.
