WATCH: Nick Mulvey - 'I Don't Want To Go Home'

Choosing to see Nick Mulvey last month on his UK tour as Sivu was supporting was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. Nick and his band were remarkable live, and delivered an incredibly atmospheric and compelling set, and his record First Mind is completely worthy of the Mercury Prize nomination it received. Check out this beautiful video filmed in Australia for the track I Don't Want To Go Home, a track co-produced by Johnny Flynn.

LISTEN: Sam Beeton demo

Bringing this video of Sam Beeton back as I completely adore this demo! Incredibly excited for new music to emerge and to see the fruits of Sam's labour, feels like he's been working hard on this record for a long time!

WATCH: Amber Run 'I Found' for Mahogany

Amber Run performing their track I Found with London Contemporary Voices for The Mahogany Sessions. These guys are superb - played a cracking set at the Art Bar in Oxford last week on the Communion New Faces Tour, and they just announced their biggest headline show to date at London's Dingwalls, tickets here.

LISTEN: Sivu - 'Sleep'

It's been over a month since Sivu released his debut album, Something On High, and I'm still listening to little else. The sound is intense, with dark, though often catchy lyrics mixing with beautiful strings to make an impassioned record, and one that I can safely say is one of my favourites of the year, if not of all time!

In honour of this here's an acoustic demo of one of my favourite tracks from the record, Sleep.

WATCH: Adam Barnes (Wheatus Cover) 'Teenage Dirtbag' for TMRW

Adam Barnes covering Wheatus' Teenage Dirtbag acoustically (and beautifully) for TMRW Magazine.

Loving this guy at the minute since seeing him at Oxjam Oxford. He's currently on a tour which culminates in a hometown full band show at The Cellar in Oxford on December 6th, tickets here.

TOUR NEWS: Fyfe (March/April 2015)

Fyfe has just announced a tour for March/April 2015, including a show at London's Electrowerks. The tour coincides with the release of his debut album Control on 9th March 2015. If you haven't listened to him before, I recommend you start with his latest single, Holding On: 

I was lucky enough to see Fyfe, along with Pixel Fix, Kimberly Anne and Amber Run (who I did not anticipate were loved so much by so many people!) last week on the Communion New Faces tour. Really enjoyed Fyfe's set and found him really compelling, and I'd be interested to see what one of his headline shows is like! Heartwarming once more to see an artist slightly flustered when the audience were requesting, and singing along to his track For You, which features on the record. 

Tickets for the tour can be found here, and you can preorder the album on iTunes here.

WATCH: George Ezra - 'Listen To The Man'

George Ezra's new video for Listen to the Man, a really simple idea but excellently executed and starring Sir Ian McKellen - how could it get any better?!
