Every year, I make a Christmas/winter playlist in place of Christmas cards, and a few years ago, I came across this: one of the saddest and most beautiful winter ballads I've ever heard. It's far too sad for playlists. But have a listen here. It's incredible. open.spotify.com/track/6kMYDM...
Was not aware of this song or album. Absolutely beautiful.
An album to raise funds for staff who have lost their jobs at the recently closed Cardiff music venue has been released
It’s #BandcampFriday which means is a perfect time to support artists by embracing this antidote to poor streaming income for the majority of acts during Spotify Wrapped & Apple Replay season
This was one of my ideas to make the most of year-end lists from this week’s @drownedinsound.org newsletter
It’s bandcamp Friday! 🎉
