The Mavericks - Back In Your Arms Again 2012

The Mavericks Tribute say:

🎶✨ Just took a trip down memory lane with this incredible performance of “Back In Your Arms Again” by Raul Malo and The Mavericks! 🌟 This song isn’t just iconic; it marked a significant moment during their reunion in 2012, reminding us of the power of music to bring people together.

Nico - I’ll Keep It With Mine (Bob Dylan) [Chelsea Girl] | jt1674

  . . . . a favourite song (if not a favourite version!) this was the first version I heard . . . . . years later only did I find it was written by BobDylan and his version remains definitive IMHO

EMILY BARKER : new blog. This time for and around the song, Feathered Thing . . . . .

 

Hello I hope you’re doing well. I wrote a new blog. This time for and around my song, Feathered Thing - track 6 on my latest album, Fragile as Humans. It's quite a personal one and it's issued with a trigger warning for anyone who'd rather not read about miscarriages, IVF, fertility issues... READ MORE It feels good to lend a bit more context to this song and some poems from my recent book Sonogram {soundwriting}. As always, thanks for listening, for reading, for engaging. Emily x

Advert Break: HOWLING BELLS 20th Anniervsary of Debut Album plus performance at Hoxton Hall

 

CELEBRATING THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF OUR DEBUT ALBUM WITH A VINYL RELEASE! PLUS… A SPECIAL SHOW AT HOXTON HALL TO CELEBRATE!  (Earlybird ticket link in this email!) The album that launched us into the musical cosmos, the album that took us to thousands of venues across the world, the album that allowed us to forge deep connections with many a wonderful human along the way. So, for the 20th anniversary, we wanted to retain the spirit of this record on vinyl finally and for us that meant not changing a thing, the same haunting artwork and that same sonic atmosphere and urgency etched deep into the grooves of that record forever.  As well as the regular vinyl release, there will also be a special limited edition vinyl released via Dinked.  We went deep diving through the archives in an attempt to retrieve something magical from that time, I found a dusty old tote bag full of cassette tapes and CDs... magic! What I discovered was something even earlier than the album demos, my very first bedroom recordings of both ‘The Bell Hit’ and ‘The Night Is Young’. How I recorded all my demos and still do! Myself, a guitar, bass, keys and harmonies. As well, I discovered a couple songs from around the time of writing for the album, ‘Highway ‘99’ and ‘Sunken Eyes’. Listening back today, I appreciate just how special these 4 demos are. And so, we have had these tracks mastered for you on a bonus 7 inch to accompany the Dinked re-release. We have also put together a homespun video for 'The Night Is Young - Bedroom Demo'. This video is a love letter of sorts to the Sydney we grew up in — the early 2000s, Bondi Beach and the inner city — where the three of us would write and play music together in between working, studying and surfing (well, Joel anyways), It’s about the first music venues we played at, the skaters we’d watch on the beach, our community of pals who chipped in to record videos and take photographs, the all-ages shows we went to, the city that gladly housed our youthful ambition.  And last, but definitely, not least… to mark the occasion, we will perform a special anniversary show at Hoxton Hall, London, on Friday 6 November 2026. Tickets will go on general sale on Friday 17th July at 10am BST….BUT we have a special ticket link for you to purchase tickets  early!  CLICK HERE  for access to tickets available Wednesday,  July 15th at 10am! See you there X HBs
