Thanks for the play.

Brandi’s default sound has always veered towards the big vocals with subtle insertions on her records. The difference this time I agree is that subtlety is the default & really suits her. Mind you this one is a biggie.

1st album was okay ish. They’re on the Beardy Folk line up for June so I’ll check ‘em out there.

Her connections meant she opened for big artists to my knowledge & didn’t really do the small venue circuit. Not in the Midlands anyway.

Not sure it will replace Chuck as the annual April request. 😎

She hasn’t really toured a lot in the last 8 years. Shame as so much to offer.

Definitely looking forward to catching her in Feb when she tours the record. The current solo shows haven’t been convenient.

Last saw at Ramblin’ Roots a year or so ago I think. Similar to when I first saw her & amazing to listen to live.

You’re missing the point in not recognising that traditionally Christmas football was about family. Many relatives went to their only game of the season on Boxing Day. A better point would be that that was then & now it’s really just another league game at the top levels.

Good evening everyone.

Absolutely. Saw the other Brandy last night. Another one nailing the art of song.

Hi Richard any chance of playing the acoustic version of Larkin Poe’s Little Bit. It was performed this way live this week & a reminder if you strip away all the blues rock stuff they are still a great roots act. Cheers
