It's 16 covers by Latin American bands and it's free on Bandcamp. https://pleromadiscos.bandcamp.com/album/jugando-con-fuego-2013 https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0272785327_16....

Moseley Folk Fest pic

Just seen this pic of Jason at last year's Moseley Folk Festival.

Re: SOUND OF CONFUSION

I'm in. Especially as I could walk there. Bob Lamb, who recorded the album, recently sold up and left Highbury Studio, which is probably just as well as he and the band didn't get on particularly well during the recording of SoC, by all accounts. Here's a link to the studio → http://highburystudio.c...

Spiritualized at Moseley Folk Festival

Set was pretty much the same as the other festivals this summer, only a bit a shorter and they started off with Hey Jane (after a rusty first verse of So Long You Pretty Thing).

Re: Fantasy Premier League 2015/2016

It says June 18th but, as runcible says, there may have been a delay. Advert also includes tour dates, suggesting t...
