A fallow time for blogging recently... haven't been to any gigs so no reviews... travel plans buggered because of illness and other craziness. But the beat goes on...
So a quick gather - Black Stepdad (yes, I know) who have some material out on our label The Lows and the Highs scored a review by Byron Coley in the current Wire:
I think he liked it...
Whitedog has been playing around with deep drums, free rhythms and reverb - here's a rough edit of a possible new track on his forthcoming album on ditto label:
Freeforming go deep by rawmusics
figure of outward has a new album looming as well, playing off folk musics, sorta... this is 'fantasia on my lagan love' with the late Margaret Barry standing in for the singer who will eventually make it into the studio...
Fantasia on lagan love by rawmusics
Reviews will return - I'm off to a double header in London soon - alldayer at Cecil Sharp House (I kid you not) - 'Ghosts from the Basement' and John Tchicai at the Cafe Oto a couple of days later... hopefully I'll be more mobile by then... otherwise stretcher bearers will be called for...
I'm supposed to be in Ireland - but I'm not, which is annoying. Hope to get there in a few weeks...

Serious muso blog! I am in awe at Drewgi Siffilitig.
Well - usually when I try to be serious, my inner facetiousness leaps out... must be the Wales connection - all those years in Aber and Borth!
Still laughing at the BBC schedule gags, by the way... Best jokes of the week so far!
Blimey - just Googled 'Drewgi Siffilitig!' I thought it was a hamlet somewhere near Pontrefendigaid...
This music is atmospheric and haunting but in a beautiful way. I need to listen to more of this. I like all kinds of music.
