CD Review: Helen Boulding - What A Fool
I love this release. Maybe it's because 'What a Fool' is exactly the track you need to hear after a few days spent in a miniscule hospital with a fluctuating temperature.

Live Review: Sam Airey + Fossil Collective + Fran Rodgers + Dancing Years
I'll give you a snapshot of my day on Saturday, last weekend. I took the dog for a 4 mile walk around Rodley, picked-up my first ever press-perk type wristband, went to my favourite hideaway (The Leeds Library) to snaffle my pack-up and lose myself in a book for an hour or so, headed to The Cockpit to catch some live music, nipped for a brew with the lovely Mrs Pickle, moseyed-on down to Trinity Church for some more live music, popped home to feed the pets, went back out to Brudenell Social Club for another portion of live music and then finished the night at The Wardrobe for a cherry-on-top serving of, yup, more live music.
