A more unlikely duo you are never likely to meet. Robert Fitzpatrick - a spade-is-a-spade Aussie, and Cara Robinson, soulful percussionist from Ireland. But theirs is a match made perfect for this foot-stomper; something of a sample from more of the same on their latest album 'Wiley Ways' - out now on RBS.
Jem's Music blog does just what it says on the tin - it's all about music. Stuff he's listening to, bands he's seen, bands you ought to see and listen to, and anything else he wants to talk about - all music related.

The Gypsy Switch
Great Eastern - Brighton - 24 May 2012
First time I heard The Gypsy Switch was a couple of summers back when they were busking in Brighton's Pavilion Gardens. I was pretty taken with their gutsy blues rock style and promptly downloaded a few tracks. Hadn't heard much from them since until I spotted the Great Eastern gig on the Brighton Noise site. They've had a bit of a line-up change but they certainly haven't lost their edge. Perfect sound for a perfect early summer balmy evening. Find out more and have a listen here http://www.thejipseswich.com/. Seems there's an EP on the way soon.

MoK - Prince Albert - 18 May 2012
From the state of our study, I can testify to the amount of work MoK did in preparation for their first single and video release - 'Hey' at the Prince Albert, Brighton, Friday 18 May 2012. Admirably supported by 'Clear as Mud' and 'The Alex Bay Band', MoK started as they meant to go on - with a big screeen showing of the 'Hey' video. Playing to the packed upstairs venue, they then blistered their way through what, in my mind could well be their best set yet. Rock on MoK - let's get this video viral!

Camille - Barbican, London - 27.4.12
It was to be the fourth time we've had the unique pleasure of seeing Ms Camille Dalmais live, this time at London's Barbican centre. The only UK (and therefore not surprisingly sold out) date on this (extended) part of the European 'Ilo Veyou' tour she did absolutely nothing to disappoint. In fact, I'd go so far to as to say that this was the best of the four outings! Having front row seats helped as did the the rather good support in the form of the diminutive Mina Tindall (one to watch out for there). Robin came within a hair's breadth - one person - of being dragged onto the stage for the waltz part of 'La France' and stage performance was as eclectic (bonkers) as always - the pic above is a good example as she always has a bit of a lie down for 'Wet Boy'. I even managed to get a copy of 'Le Sac des Filles' (her first album) on the Merc. stand. Roll on the next UK gig Ms Dalmais. We'll be there!
