Following their triumphant headline show at On Blackheath Festival last September and due to popular demand, Travis, one of Britain’s best loved bands play their classic album ‘The Man Who’ live in full for two limited runs this June & December.

Released 19 years ago, ‘The Man Who’ sounds as fresh today as it did then.  One of the most successful British albums of the last 20 years, it spawned the timeless singles, ‘Writing To Reach You’, ‘Driftwood’, ‘Turn’ and possibly the band’s most iconic song, ‘Why Does It Always Rain On Me’.

“Songs are like emotional bookmarks in time,” Fran Healy said. “When you hear a song you are transported to those times and feel strong echoes of the feelings you felt. Rarely does an album have this ability so performing ‘The Man Who’ once again will be a joy!”

Produced by Nigel Godrich, ‘The Man Who’ spent an astonishing 11 weeks at Number 1, selling nearly 3 million copies. It was the biggest selling UK album in 2000, propelled by an incendiary Glastonbury performance in the rain! Recognition quickly followed including Ivor Novello Awards for ‘Best Songwriter’ & ‘Best Contemporary Song’ for ‘Why Does It Always Rain On Me?’ and BRIT Awards for ‘Best British Band’ and ‘Best British Album’.

The band will perform a handful of special venues over the course of the year including London’s Royal Festival Hall (12th June) and Glasgow The SSE Hydro (21st Dec), with tickets on sale 2nd March:

June
10th – Liverpool, Philharmonic
12th – London, Royal Festival Hall

With champions from BBC Radio 1, 6Music, The Telegraph, The Independent, Metro, Evening Standard and The Times, support slots with Lana Del Ray and Birdy under his belt, as well as multiple sold-out London shows, 2018 looks set to be quite a year for Billy Lockett.

One of the country’s most exciting new artists, Louis Berry, releases his most personal single yet with the gospel tinged ‘Stumbling’ (impacts April 6th) on Ministry of Sound.

LISTEN TO ‘STUMBLING’ HERE

This evocative song allows Louis to effortlessly showcase his tremendous voice, wrapped around emotionally charged lyrics. ‘Stumbling’ is written and produced by Louis, Marcus Foster from the band Seramic and Koz, the Grammy winning Canadian producer best known for his work with Kendrick Lamar on the album ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ and DUA LIPA on her acclaimed debut.

“I’ve spent much of the last year in the studio working on new tracks, forming a new sound,” Louis says. “I’ve been working with Rudimental, Mojam and Koz, a Canadian producer who really got my sound. I grew up listening to 2pac but I’m also a fan of people like Johnny Cash so to merge those two sounds together which is what Koz helped me do, is just very exciting.”

Without doubt ‘Stumbling’ is his best single yet, and promises great things for his debut album, produced by an all star cast: Koz, Jacquire King (James Bay, Niall Horan, Kings of Leon) and Steve Fitzmaurice (Sam Smith) and is set for release this summer.

“Louis’ voice instantly stood out,” says Koz. “It has that timeless, distinct, iconic quality that is so rare to find. Every word he sings you believe.”

“It’s a song about when you’re going through things in life and you keep getting knock backs,” Louis says of ‘Stumbling’. “It’s about having the determination and courage to carry on through hard times and get to a place where you want to be.”

Anyone who has witnessed Louis Berry live knows his performances are as joyful as they are explosive, breathing an infectious intensity into his passionate songs. On the horizon are residencies in his native Liverpool and London, Live at Leeds and the Neighbourhood Festival and support slots with Liam Gallagher in Dublin and Belfast.

Louis and his fabulous band spent much of last year on the road, honing their exciting live sound. His UK headline tour sold out while he played over 18 European festivals last summer. He’s had over 270 plays on Radio 1. His supporters include Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Mistajam and Huw Stephens. So far his songs have been streamed over 10 million times.

Louis’ forthcoming album will be followed by a headline UK tour later this year.

Performing At The Brits 21st February Play 3 Sold out Stadium Shows This Summer Wed 14th February 2018

With an inevitably incendiary performance at The Brits to come later this month, four-time Brit award winners Foo Fighters will release their anthemic new single ‘The Line’ impacting March 16th on Columbia Records.

Having claimed their fourth UK number 1 album with ‘Concrete and Gold’ in September, had the album proclaimed as one of the best albums of their illustrious career, played a legendary headline slot at Glastonbury and sold out all three of their UK stadium dates for this summer, it really has been a colossal 12 months for the world’s biggest rock band.

Following the massive singles ‘Run’, and ‘The Sky Is A Neighborhood’, new single ‘The Line’ pairs a signature Foo Fighters propulsive melody with an urgent heartfelt lyric and rousing chorus described by composer Dave Grohl as “a search for hope in this day and age where you feel as if you’re fighting for your life with every passing moment, and everything is on the line.”

September saw Foo Fighters turn in a 5-star 3-hour performance at a sold out O2 Arena. Destined to be one of the live highlights of the year, Foo Fighters play the following stadium shows this summer:

June 2018
Tues 19th   MANCHESTER Etihad Stadium    SOLD OUT

Produced by Grammy Award-winning Dave Cobb, the album is Prine’s first featuring new material in over 13 years.

Recorded at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A, the album includes ten new songs written by Prine along with co-writers Pat McLaughlin, Roger Cook, Dan Auerbach, Keith Sykes and Phil Spector. In addition to Prine (lead vocals and acoustic guitar) and Cobb (acoustic guitar, mellotron, claps, kazoo), the album features special guests Brandi Carlile (harmony vocals on tracks 2, 4, 8, 10), Jason Isbell (electric guitar on track 7, slide guitar and background vocals on track 9, 10) and Amanda Shires (fiddle and background vocals on track 9, background vocals on track 10).

In celebration of the album, Prine will embark on an extensive worldwide tour that will span throughout 2018, including a very special co-headline concert at New York’s Radio City Music Hall with Sturgill Simpson (solo) on album release day as well as newly announced shows at L.A.’s Ace Theatre, Boston’s Wang Theatre, Austin’s Bass Hall,Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium (two nights) and UK dates including an appearance at the Cambridge Folk Festival in August.

The landmark album and tour follow a noteworthy 2017, which included an “Artist of the Year” award at the Americana Music Honors & Awards and a Chicago/Midwest Regional Emmy Award for his “Chicago Voices” performance with Renée Fleming. Last year also saw the release of Prine’s debut book, John Prine Beyond Words, which includes a selection of favorites songs, photographs and stories from Prine’s beloved catalogue. More info is available here.

A two-time Grammy-winner, Prine is among the English language’s premier phrase-turners. Almost 50 years years into a remarkable career that has drawn effusive praise from Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, Bonnie Raitt, Roger Waters, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and others who would know, Prine is a smiling, shuffling force for good. He is a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member and a PEN New England Lyrics Award recipient whose classic debut album, simply titled John Prine, is recognized as part of the Recording Academy’s Grammy Hall of Fame and whose songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Carly Simon, Bette Midler, Bonnie Raitt, Norah Jones, George Strait, Miranda Lambert, Zac Brown Band and many others.

Following the 2015 death of his dear friend and business partner Al Bunetta, Prine is now President and sole owner of Oh Boy Records. He lives in Nashville, TN with his wife, Fiona, and enjoys spending time with their three sons, a daughter-in-law and his grandchildren.

HANNIE, the songwriting duo of multi-instrumentalists Hannah Koppenburg and Annie Wagstaff release their debut single ‘Cosmic Bound’ today.

Listen to ‘Cosmic Bound’ HERE

‘Cosmic Bound’, featuring newcomer Carys Selvey on vocals, is a little gem pairing funk driven guitars and keys with pure pop melodies and showcases the girls’ ability to write a mean tune. Much like recent acts Disclosure and Clean Bandit, HANNIE write and co-produce their own tracks, handpicking different vocalists to collaborate with for each track.

Forming HANNIE in 2017, Hannah and Annie initially met at ACM University in Guildford, the only girls swimming in a male dominated sea of aspiring guitarists and keyboard players. Hannah, originally from South Germany plays keys and Annie, born in Surrey, guitar and it didn’t take them long to connect musically – going on to play in various bands before eventually forming HANNIE last year.

‘We’ve been doing these online videos for a while and it’s really exciting for us to have our own track out’ says Annie ‘It’s been a totally different experience from playing for other people and we love it!’ Following a stint of session work with other acts the pair moved to East London, turned their living room into a studio and have been writing prolifically ever since.

Within a year HANNIE have gone from putting up online videos filmed in their living room, to having over 160,000 followers, keenly awaiting their next move.

Their view is simple:

“Your gender should never get in the way of doing what you love and working hard. It’s weird but there doesn’t seem to be anyone doing what we are doing, which we find really exciting. We want to be a step towards putting more girls, as musicians, in the music industry. This is the most fun we’ve ever had, and can’t wait to share these tunes with everyone.”

PLAYS THE WAITING ROOM APRIL 12th

Mr. Jukebox, the highly anticipated debut album from Joshua Hedley, will be released April 20 on Third Man Records and is now available for pre-order. Watch the video for the title track today HERE.

Produced by Jordan Lehning and Skylar Wilson, the 10-track album features nine original songs as well as a version of “When You Wish Upon A Star.” In addition to Hedley on vocals and fiddle, the album features Eddie Lange on steel guitar/guitar, Jeremy Fetzer from Steelism on guitar/baritone guitar, Michael Rinne on bass, Jon Radford on drums/percussion and Micah Hulscher on piano/organ.

Hedley comments, “It’s not a throwback. It sounds new because it is new, and it sounds the way it sounds because it’s the only thing I know how to do. I can’t write a song that sounds different. Classic country is like a suit. Nothing about a men’s suit has changed in like 100 years. Classic never goes out of style.”

A Florida native, Hedley felt inexplicably drawn toward the fiddle as a child. He first asked for one at age 3. His mom listened to Neil Diamond and his dad listened to Otis Redding––they didn’t see the request coming––but when he asked again five years later, they were struck by the longing’s staying power and, at 8 years-old, he finally got his wish.

He went on to perform at the local VFW and American Legion and, at 12, joined his first band. His bandmates were in their 40s. Around the same time, Hedley visited Nashville with his parents and immediately knew that he belonged. At 19, he made the move and began sneaking into Robert’s Western World––too young to drink legally and too wild to care.

Joshua Hedley went on to become a featured performer and in-demand sideman at the now legendary spot and, ultimately, a well-respected frontman. Armed with an easy croon and prodigious fiddle playing, he became known by peers as the Mayor of Lower Broad. In the years since, he’s performed with artists including Jonny Fritz, Justin Townes Earle and was featured prominently in the 2015 documentary, Heartworn Highways Revisited.

Hedley will tour throughout 2018 in support of the record, including stops at SXSW and a date at London’s The Waiting Room on April 12th.

Album ‘Sir’ Out February 16th

Watch The Video HERE

Fischerspooner share their new single “TopBrazil” off their upcoming album, Sir, out February 16 via Ultra Records.  The stunning companion video was directed by Tom C J Brown and features frontman Casey Spooner interwoven into a collage of male bodies becoming one, all the while blurring the lines of masculinity and femininity paired with overt sexuality. Spooner explains, “The video celebrates a pop aesthetic typically reserved for the female archetype and liberates the male form to be sexual, expressive and fearless.” It embodies the album’s resistant narrative as an overtly queer and celebratory body of work in response to the current atmosphere in America.

Sir is the group’s first album in nearly a decade. Entirely produced by Michael Stipe, it features additional production by BOOTS (Beyonce, Run The Jewels, FKA Twigs) and mixing by both Stuart White (Beyonce’s Lemonade) and Andy LeMaster. The collection of erotically-charged, yet profound songs was crafted by Spooner and Stipe at Michael’s home in Athens, GA, alongside Michael’s longtime collaborator Andy LeMaster. The album also features contributions by Spooner’s longtime collaborator Le Chev, as well as Thomas Haskett.

Fischerspooner started as a DIY art project with their very first performance at a Manhattan Starbucks, which ultimately transformed into a spectacle that ushered in the electroclash pop revolution. They pushed the boundaries of music and art in unparalleled ways that laid the foundations for many of today’s biggest artists. Long known for their spectacular live performances, they returned to the stage and played their first show in almost a decade in October at Brooklyn Steel, with West Coast shows lined up for March this year.

New Single and Video Out Now Album ‘Common Ground’ Out January 26th

Watch the new video HERE

Today, Above & Beyond release ‘Always’, the latest single to be taken from their forthcoming album ‘Common Ground’, out January 26th on Anjunabeats.

‘Always’ is one of three on the album to feature long time collaborator Zoë Johnston, and shows a softer side to the band than many fans have come to expect. The accompanying video shows the band on top of the world in stunning footage shot last week in the Alps –  watch it HERE.

The new album, the follow up to 2015’s Grammy nominated “We Are All We Need”, will feature the recently released anthem ‘Northern Soul’ featuring another classic Above & Beyond collaborator in Richard Bedford, and the infectious single ‘My Own Hymn’. The two tracks between them have already been streamed well over 3 million times alongside summer festival anthem ‘Tightrope’.

2017 saw Above & Beyond host a sold-out ABGT250 weekender at The Gorge Amphitheatre, Seattle, playing to a sold out crowd of 25,000, as well as topping off the year with another sold-out show at The O2, London in November. 2018 will see Jono, Tony and Paavo play their biggest ever London show, at Creamfields Steel Yard in Finsbury Park on May 26th. The award-winning Steel Yard superstructure is the largest of its kind in Europe with capacity for 15,000 fans.

Over their six critically acclaimed studio albums, including their acoustic and OceanLab projects, Above & Beyond’s songs and lyrics have been sung back to them at the world’s biggest stadia and stages – from Alexandra Palace, to Madison Square Garden, to the Hollywood Bowl, to their famed one million people gig at Barra Beach in Rio de Janeiro in 2007.

On November 29, 2002, one year after the passing of George Harrison, Olivia Harrison and longtime friend Eric Clapton organized a performance tribute in his honor. Held at London’s Royal Albert Hall, the momentous evening featured George’s songs, and music he loved, performed by a lineup that included Clapton, Joe Brown, Dhani Harrison, Jools Holland, Jeff Lynne, Paul McCartney, Monty Python, Tom Petty, Billy Preston, Ravi and Anoushka Shankar, Ringo Starr and many more.

Directed by David Leland (whose credits include the feature Wish You Were Here, HBO’s Band Of Brothers and the Traveling Wilburys video “Handle With Care”), CONCERT FOR GEORGE captures stunning renditions of some of the most significant music of the 20th century, including “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” (featuring Clapton on guitar, McCartney on piano and Starr on drums), “Taxman” (performed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) and “The Inner Light” (covered by Jeff Lynne and Anoushka Shankar). Lynne, Harrison’s longtime friend and collaborator, produced the audio elements of the concert, while Clapton oversaw the entire proceedings as Musical Director.

CONCERT FOR GEORGE has been certified 8-times platinum by the RIAA since its initial release as a 2-DVD set in November 2003 and earned a 2004 Grammy® Award for Best Long Form Music Video.

“The sweet, solemn music of George Harrison… has rarely sounded more majestic than in the sweeping performances of the enlarged star-studded band that gathered in London at Royal Albert Hall on Nov. 29” – The New York Times

“The event’s warmth sweeps the audience along.” **** Guardian

“The fondness that everyone in Eric Clapton’s all-star band has for the former Fab shines throughout a tribute that retains the sincerity and simplicity of Harrison’s music.” **** Empire

“It’s hard to think of a more fitting tribute to a man who, despite being in the world’s biggest band, spent so much of that time in the shadows of his fellow players. George’s songs take centre-stage here, lovingly arranged by musical director Eric Clapton to accommodate as many famous friends as possible.” **** Record Collector

Following a huge 2017, which saw him play lauded slots at SXSW, and ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’, coupled with his acclaimed debut EP ‘AFTERIMAGE’ clocking up over 40 million streams, R.LUM.R returns to the UK for a show at London’s Birthdays on March 7th, and announces his ‘ALTERIMAGE’ EP, an alternative version of his debut EP, set for release on March 9th.

With alternate versions of his infectious singles ‘Close Enough’ and ‘Frustrated’ and the string led ‘Bleed Into The Water’, ‘ALTERIMAGE’ sees R.LUM.R strip back his debut EP to the track’s raw roots, showcasing his captivating vocals. Taking on a completely different life to the original versions, the EP rejuvenates the tracks with the use of a string quartet, grand piano and acoustic guitars, exposing R.LUM.R in a more organic manner. The reinterpretation of lead track ‘Close Enough’, alongside its respective video and the EP pre-order, will be released on 2nd February.

Born, Reginald Lamar Williams Jr., R.LUM.R is a singer songwriter like no other; redefining the R&B genre, giving it new life and a fresh audience.
