We are faced with having to move to new studio premises and that is why we are launching an appeal to raise £30,000 in the next 6 weeks, to enable us complete the move as seamlessly as possible.

Americana UK's obituary for americana lynchpin @raulmal01 of @MavericksMusic who created a lot of great music during his 60 years of life
The Song Remains: Raul Malo (1965 – 2025)
Farewell to the greatest voice in modern popular music Raul Malo has died, at the ridiculously young age of 60. The son of Cuban emigrants who could sing virtually anything with ease and conviction will no longer grace us with his heavenly tones, having succumbed to severe complications from colon cancer that he publicly disclosed in June 2024. So it is perhaps fortunate that he leaves an extensive and important body of work, both with The Mavericks and solo.
