ROSIE AND THE GOLDBUG
Genre: Indie / Pop / Rock
Web: www.rosieandthegoldbug.com
Myspace: myspace.com/rosieandthegoldbug
Press Release: Rosie & The Goldbug are a piano, bass and drum trio from Cornwall. They like creating raw and passionate music.

THE COUNTRYSIDE (Bridgwater)
Genre : Slacker Rock
Myspace: myspace.com/countrysideland
“In the last twelve months Countryside have wasted no time in making a lasting impression on Bristol's musical landscape. Audiences have been lulled and roused by these melodic and psychedelic tunesmiths, with frontman Stephen's sweetly laconic voice weaving celestially between chiming synths and deeply harmonizing second vocals. Their live show combines the visceral and the delicate to devastating effect...”
2007 – Band of the Year – Venue Magazine
2006 – Winners - Moles Club Battle of the Bands.
(2007)__EP Review… ‘CLICK.SUBMIT.SEND’
…Click. Submit. Send. achieves an intimacy, excitement and a magic in a brief eight song run that most bands don't garner in full-length releases. And at the end of the day that is what is important. Not the hype the band is going to generate, the magazine covers or the eventual bidding war that is sure to ensue. It should always be about the music. This EP does what all good ones do: it ends too soon and it leaves you frantically awaiting the eventual follow up. All the cool kids on your block are going to own this eventually, so why not pick it up now and be ahead of the curve. 4/5 - Broken Dial - New York, USA.

NEVILLE STAPLE
Genre: Ska/Reggae/Pop
Web: www.nevillestaple.co.uk/
Myspace: nevillestaplefromthespecials
Press Release:
Best known for his work writing & composing, the lead singer from The Specials, and as one of the founding members of Fun Boy 3, Neville Staple is credited with changing the face of pop music not only once but twice.
Catch his show these days, and you'll get a mix of old favorites plus loads of his brand new original solo material. Neville Staple has been recording in both the UK for 525 Music Productions at Planet Studios, and in Southern California recording and writing. These tracks will be on his new solo album of all original material. In the meantime catch Neville on tour.
Latest Album The Rude Boy Returns (Rude Boy) 2004
“Interest in the Specials has burgeoned lately… Neville Staple has timed his return well, hooking up with Mick Jones, the former Clash guitarist [and Rat Scabies]. Appropriately, The Rude Boy Returns has an air of nostalgia but also sounds rudely contemporary... All the trademarks are intact: the woozy saxophone, killer choruses and sense of boisterous bonhomie, despite this, the lyrics prick at the social conscience and send messages out to this generation's rude b(w)oys. Probably the most unexpected and rewarding comeback of the year.” The Guardian

MARVIN
Genre: Hip Hop/Soul/Rap (London)
Myspace: myspace.com/marvthemarsh
Web: www.marvthemarsh.co.uk
Coming out of Brixton, Marvin (formerly Marvin The Martian), first came to light whilst working in the rap crew Why Lout? Their producer, Jack Nimble twisted the Art Brut track ‘Emily Kane’ into the now infamous ‘Stay Off The Kane’ featuring Marvin’s vocals and popped it onto their mixtape, unwittingly creating the first grime vs. indie crossover. Art Brut loved it so much, they invited Why Lout? to open for them at Koko, next thing its coming out of all the Club NME soundsystems and 6Music were playing it …

THE WURZELS
Genre: West-country
Web: http://www.thewurzels.net
Myspace: myspace.com/wurzels1
Press Release:A Brief History of The Wurzels- The story starts in the summer of 1966 when Adge Cutler visited John Miles office with little more than a number of songs he had written. The name Adge Cutler and The Wurzels was conceived, a recording contract was negotiated with EMI and in the autumn of 1966 a single Drink up Thy Zider was released. This record sold over 100,000 copies and appearances followed on a number of TV shows including David Frost Show, Simon Dee, etc. Further records were released with cabaret and concert appearances all over the country. The name of Adge Cutler and The Wurzels was slowly spreading until a fateful morning in May 1974 when Adge Cutler was killed in a road accident.TheWurzels decided to continue on their own and in April 1976 they finally hit jackpot with their hit Combine Harvester which was a parody of Melanies Brand New Key. Combine Harvester is about a country fella trying to get his hands on a wenchs (wait for it) bit of land. Well at least thats what the record implies. The familiarity of the tune and the jolly sound captured many folks imaginations and sent the record up the charts. It made No 1 and sold nearly 400,000 copies in the U.K. alone. The B-side Blackbird was No 1 in Canada.

Press Release: Nu-Routes has always managed to bring together some outstanding musicians for its tours. This, the last tour in a series of 4 is no exception. The 4 musicians have put together a Special show incorporating elements of all of their repertoires. They will be brining to the stage, traditional Irish music, blues, contemporary song, and a lot more…
The project is led by leading Irish songwriter and singer, Eleanor McEvoy.

Eleanor, a seasoned session musician and orchestral fiddle player from an early age, first shot to prominence when her song ‘A Woman’s Heart’ which became the theme and title track to the largest selling Irish album ‘A Woman’s Heart’. Her version of the song sung with Mary Black became an immediate hit and the song is now a recognized Irish standard with countless cover versions.
Joining her is a stunning band led by the virtuoso guitar and melodeon playing of Tim Edey. Tim’s own approach to playing traditional music was set to be pretty special from the start. He loves improvising and has often been described as an Irish jazzer! Along with Tim will be Brendan Power, a stunning harmonica player who has recorded with Sting, Van Morrison, Paul Young, Shirley Bassey, James Galway and Irish singer Mary Black. In addition Lucy Randall a first rate percussionist who toured with Seth Lakeman in 2006 will be with the group.

The Tim Edey Band put on a highly impressive performance as seen on the BBC’s......‘Later’ - with Jools Holland, show.
