Once Upon A Time with Soprano Voiced Aoede




With her beautiful vocals Aoede not only turns classic fairy tales that we all know and love into merry little melodies but also mesmerizes us with a whole host of tunes and combined with catchy instrumentals, these tunes will be sure to entertain you.

Same of my fave songs include the musically infectious Can't Stop The Music and its easy to see why Aoede is compared to Lily Allen, I Lost, You Win which features a unforgettable instrumental arrangement to complement Aoede's superb vocals.

I adore the intro and instrumental hooks featured in Nothing's Gonna Stop Me and Blue Gold has a bluesy/rock and roll feel to it.

Award Winning Singer/Songwriter Aoede specializes in both quirky Folk Pop and Children's Musical Stories.

This talented musician has already won countless music awards including 2012 Finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and also International Songwriting Competition Finalist in 2013, plus her album What Are Dreams Made Of was considered for Best Children's Album in the 56th Grammy Awards.

Aoede is now looking at adapting this album for musical theatre.

Lauren Aquilina unveils the final part in her musical trilogy


Lauren unveiled the third piece of her musical jigsaw puzzle with the release of her Liars EP.

This talented singer/songwriter once again entertains us with her unique voice and heartfelt lyrics, plus her equally talented instrumental skills coupled with a first class band make Lauren's music as memorable as always.

My favourite songs from the EP are Lovers or Liars and Broke, Lauren's musical charm really shines in these beautiful melodies.

This is the perfect ending to three outstanding musical masterpieces, if you haven't got your copy then what are you waiting for.

The unique voice of Lucy Evans


Lucy Evans entertains us with not only her beautiful voice but also her talented instrumental skills.

Her recently released Feels Like Home features four delightful melodies.

https://soundcloud.com/lucyevansmusic/sets/feels-like-home-ep

The upbeat Til Night Comes From Us, which conjures images of Spring and Summer and features a exquisite outro plus thumbs up to Kate Maher's expert violin playing.

Lucy's vocals and the accompanying guitar arrangements really shine in Saving Grace.

Feels Like Home opens with a beautiful instrumental intro and Kate's backing vocals go hand in hand with Lucy's performance plus I love the outro.

On The Line is the perfect way to wrap up this first class EP.

Lucy's musical influences include Joni Mitchell and more recently Laura Marling.

Having already well and truly established herself on the Manchester Music Scene, since her move to London in 2012 it is her goal to do the same here.

Classical Duo Eden put their own spin on our fave tunes


Classically trained double act Eden entertain us with their beautiful reworking of some old faves from the likes of Chris Isaak, Metallica and The Pretenders.




Opting for Opera as their genre of choice Eden work their musical magic on Wicked Game, Nothing Else Matters and I'll Stand By You.

Not only have they given a classical twist to these songs but they've also splendidly performed them in Italian and have also thrown in a unforgettable instrumental arrangement.

If this wasn't enough they've also given us a taste of the musical delights we can expect from their forthcoming album.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsI51sAz9oc

Looks like we'll really be in for a treat once their forthcoming album is released.

Inspired by the likes of Katherine Jenkins, Il Divo and Sarah Brightman, the world class vocals of Libby Johnstone and Lucy Campbell combine their musical talents to create the beautiful Classic/Pop Duo Eden.

They not only produce their own music but have the privilege as the only duo who not only focus on modern music with a classic twist whilst still offering both traditional classical music and songs from musicals.

Eden has once again joined forces with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra to record their eagerly anticipated 2nd album.

Libby and Lucy have 20 years experience in the performing industry and not only have they toured across the world with their established and much loved show but between them they've also supported Steps and Atomic Kitten on their arena tours.

The Hardcore Beats Of Hurricane Jim


With hardcore beats and smooth vocals, Loaded Gun is a beast of a track, this is right up the street of Rock fans everywhere and with some first class Guitar arrangements Loaded Gun deserves a gold star in the Rock Anthem Category.


http://hurricanejim.bandcamp.com/


Hurricane Jim were formed by James L Brown and Craig Fletcher in 2013. They originally intended to be a Stoner Band but whilst writing, performing and experimenting with sounds, something new but just as musically beautiful came into existence.


The band's current line up are James and Craig on Guitar and Vocals, Andy on Bass and they are currently looking for a drummer to join their ranks.


Hurricane Jim was very kind enough to spare a few minutes out of their very hectic schedule to answer a few questions for us.

How did you get into music in the first place?
I was listening to some fairly choice titles when I was young including Kylie's first album and Salt N Pepas 'A Salt with a Deadly Pepper'. 

The first time I heard Queen was when that all changed. I started to learn Bass and worked my way up the rock and metal heaviness scale. From Queen to Maiden, from Maiden to Motorhead, from Motorhead to Fear Factory. 

At this time I learned guitar and drums and this influenced a more mellow streak in me over the years. But those were my early times with music. I was certainly a metal Kid through and through.

Who were your musical influences?
The most significant ones have been Lemmy, Devin Townsend, David Gilmour, Mike Patton, Cliff Burton. Tell you what. What a supergroup that would make. Talk about dream team.

Craig from the band is into the more alternative scene. The Beatles, Supergrass.

This blend of influences is what gives us our sound and approach to Hurricane Jim.   

What tunes are currently on repeat on your Mp3 Player?
The Album Gravity X by the band Truckfighters. That band are the best kept secret I know. 

What’s your life outside of music?
I have a regular job in a factory that produces Malt. I have a 13 year old son who's getting great on guitar and played his first gig as a singer just yesterday. Very well he did too. 

I hang around with the wife at home with our little tiny Jack Russell, and watch as many horror films as I can fit in when not doing music stuff. (which isn't that often these days). 

If you could collaborate with any singer who would it be?
David Gilmour, but that question is very hard when you really start to think.

What’s your favourite genre of music?
These days, probably Desert Rock. 

What’s next for you musically?
We have a load of songs written. First up is a Video for Loaded Gun. Then hopefully a small batch of gigs later in the year. We're very busy at the moment so it's a bit of a juggling act.  

What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Being impulsive. That covers both pretty well. 

Where do you draw inspiration for your song lyrics?
My lyrics are all death and mayhem. Thats the horror and metal in me still trying to get out. 
Craig from the band tends to write about specific events, where as i'm more metaphorical I'd say. It makes for some interesting and varied songs when it all comes together. 

What is your guilty pleasure?
Static X

The debut of LA Rapper Melro$e Young


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHnZ0ppgWzw&feature=youtu.be

Soon as I come thru opens with a beautiful intro and Melro$e Young then proceeds to tell a story with his entertaining lyrics and smooth beats.


Melro$e made his name by producing beats for the likes of Bow Wow, Lil Twist, Acehood, Birdman and many other talented artists.


Encouraged by motivation from his friends, including a childhood friend who has been in jail since 2003 Melro$e turned his hand to rapping and intends to raise bail money for his friend the legitimate way.
