TEN FOR TEN

10 Singer-songwriters/Bands to definately check out in 2010.

ABI MOORE
Following the release of Abi’s latest album “Things we should have said” and the critically acclaimed DVD, classed by many as one of the best “live” DVDs released in years and Abi looks destined to create a big impression in 2010, especially following her recent Caffe Nero “Artist of the month” UK tour.

ZEITGEIST ZERO
Now firmly established as one of, if not THE best gothic band currently performing in the UK and Europe at present. Their unique and revolutionary live performances have to be witnessed to be believed. If “Gothic” is not a genre you have indulged in before, be prepared for something very, very special.

NICKY PHILLIPS

THE DAN HUDSON BLUES BAND

HOPE AND SOCIAL
Anyone who has attended a gig featuring Hope & Social will have experienced something that no other band can achieve. Their music ability and showmanship is second to none and yet the feeling you are left with when you leave a H & S gig is one of camaraderie and friendship, you feel as tough they are your best mates and who have produced something very special just for you. These are top blokes with a musical gift which should be covered on every music channel possible.

GARY STEWART

THE LIGHT STREAMS
The release of their 4 track EP “Lost” will undoubtedly push this talented 4-piece band to the forefront on many music-lovers “must see” lists. Their harmonic style and well-crafted songs are very much a breath of fresh air in the sometimes repetitive music industry.
