Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. - Robert F. Kennedy |  |

Jonathan Taylor Fucking England, An Anthology
Jonathan Taylor is the great grandson of soprano singer and early cylindrical recording pioneer Rebecca Johnson (nee Reeves), grandson of Ivy (nee Johnson) Usher (a play anything by ear pianist) and a cousin of folk legend Robert (Bob) Johnson - Steeleye Span.
This free anthology covers nearly 20 years of Jonathan's work, from the early folk/punk of The Atom Arc Landslide, and the more ambient Waving Not Drowning, through Cali and even including some of Jonathan's latest solo work.
'Jonathan is a thoughtful and intelligent lyric writer and a superb musician. His voice ranges from Cat Stevenesque right through to smoky blues.'

Rob Lavers - New Album
Child's Eye
“It’s important for sax players to achieve a unique sound. Rob’s rich tone on tenor is perfectly complimented by the ethereal sweetness of his flute playing, and his soprano work is beautifully assured on this most stubborn of the saxes - his sound is very definitely his own” Mark Norton, MCPS
Rob Lavers has spent much of the last ten years performing in London both as a leader and as a featured instrumentalist. His versatility as a musician has brought him into contact with an impressive array of musicians working in styles ranging from flamenco, latin, funk, afrobeat, dance/electronica to acoustic and improvised contemporary jazz. His gradual blossoming as a writer has now seen the fruition of 3 albums under his own name. Lavers continues to perform regularly with his group.

As usual we're not trying to present one homogeneous style of music, quite the opposite. We're trying to give you a sneak preview of the sheer variety and range of music that's available here in Yorkshire. For Volume 3, we've got together a fabulous range of music.... Kicking off with a “Ladies First” section, we've got three fantastic female vocalists, with beautiful acoustic pop from the Launderette Poets, hybrid roots pop from Veibmeld and Spanish dub reggae from Carolina Carma. Next is the “Naughty Boys” section, some off the wall, left field grunge jazz from Minghe Morte. And finally we've got the “After Midnight” section, featuring some technical and accomplished digital creations in a range of urban styles, from Gazzmann, Little Tom, FDNC and Stephen Ward.
