Well, the thunder is rumbling, the rain is beating down and festivals anywhere near the sea are packing up early – a typical British summer. Maybe it’s best to stay at home and watch a few new videos. We’ll start with one from our good friends Merry Hell:
‘The Fire’ is a recent track by Jamie Freeman, written about the Grenfell disaster. Jamie has a new album, Dreams About Falling and is currently on tour.
The name of Roo Panes crops up on our pages quite frequently. ‘Warrior’ was written to support anti-slavery organisation, International Justice Mission.
Karine Polwart covers Big Country with her version of ‘Chance’ taken from her latest album, Scottish Songbook.
‘Flying Visit’ is the latest single by Ferris & Sylvester who have just announced a new headline tour.
‘Uneven Days’ is the atmospheric new single by Ben Harper.
Finally, Elephant Sessions have just released the video of ‘Tyragarah’, the single released in support of World Elephant Day.
