Marta doesn’t just play bass for Crystal Viper, it’s her band, she writes everything and up until last year was shredding guitar on every album.

Thanks a lot Lads, that was short, but very sweet. Monthly Record Fair in Leeds, tomorrow hoping to pick something up, though that’s not always the case.

Big Big Train are touring the UK in September so I will get this at the gig. BTW,Pete, the BBT album was recorded at Cadogan Hall. I'll give you five million guesses how to pronounce it. Another great show.

Harrison/Fafard — definitely excellent keys on this one, and classical guitar on a number of tracks.
Thanks for the shoutout Ken

Aurora Clara – IV Muy bueno! Can't wait for Isobar IV and Tusmørke new albums. The little bit I did hear was really good. Bi Kyo Ran quite good.
