Welcome to the Roots of the World Blog and North East Gig Guide February 2014



Featuring North East Artists of the Month
 
 
 
On this month's Newcastle Roots Music Radio three tracks feature from their
power packed dance to the max album Charge. You can buy it here! You will also be able to catch them at a new electrofolk night at the Butterfly Cabinet in Heaton, Newcastle from 7pm and I'll be spinning some rootsy fusionistic beats in between. So come along and support one of the U.K.'s and Newcastle's most innovative acts. There's a great review of their album right here!

Welcome to the Roots of the World Blog and North East Gig Guide January 2014


Featuring North East Artist of the Month
 
 
 
With a strong connection to the north east Beccy now Yorkshire based has a new album out "IMAGO", which has been critically well received. Buy it here. 

I have seen Beccy before and her style captivates and delights audiences with her vocal prowess and innovative ear catching arrangements. It is a very honest courageous album which over twelve episodes charts the path of an extremely difficult relationship Becky has now emerged from with this musical triumph.

She is appearing at the Live Theatre, Newcastle (10/1) and The Old Cinema Launderette, Durham (7/2)  and with her band "Sharks Took The Rest" at Quiliams Tea House, Newcastle (16/1). Go see!

Hear 3 songs from "IMAGO" on my Newcastle Roots Music Radio January 2014 podcast which can be found below.
