I struggled to find people who disapproved of the protest, they were there, but largely silent. I spoke to one shop owner who wouldn’t go on-record because he needed to protect his business. Another declined whilst retreating from me (I won’t take it personally). I don’t reckon the protesters are a dangerous bunch, neither does anyone, including the police (who also wouldn’t comment on the basis they knew too little). But the Occupy Totnes movement does have a seductive message…

 

You can ask to join the protesters on facebook here if you wish. And here’s how the BBC reported the march.

The Rising to support Mc Fly in Plymouth?

The Rising let you download full tracks on their facebook page and are in the running to support Mc Fly when they come to Plymouth – if you feel like doing them a favour click here and hit the ‘Like’ button – it’s in facebook blue and the more ‘like’s they get the better, Mc Fly are huge and the guys would love to be their support act. It’s not like their lives depend on it, as the following interview reveals, it’s just that it would be a good thing.

Right now Soundart Radio is number 1 search result on Radio Player. Don’t get too exited, it won’t last. Although it is a very good thing. (more…)

Sam, Alex and Phil dropped in for a session and blew us all away with folk-rock harmonies and a semi acoustic suitcase.

Albert Jones popped in on his way to the Barrel House ably accompanied by Max Evans on Sax and Chris Jones on Double Bass. The picture above, whilst not a true likeness, does justice to Albert’s lovely beard. Got to say a big thank you to these guys who arrived emaciated. We revived them with raisin biscuits and tea, and they pulled this lot out of the bag.

As well as having a beard that birds can nest in, Albert is also generous, and quite happy for you to download these live radio sessions for free.
