My Romance - Marian Petrescu Quartet - Thrivin' - A Rogers & Hart classic revived by piano expert Petrescu, originally from Romania, now living in Finland. Marian has his own music school.


First Train Home - Imogen Heap - Ellipse - Heap plays heavily produced and arranged singer-songwriter pop incorporating elements of rock, dance and electronica. Also part of the duo Frou Frou.

Honey Bee - Zee Avi - self titled - Zee Avi is just 23 but she's an old soul. A huge talent in a petite frame bringing a universal message from the unlikely birthplace of Borneo, an ancient island east of Malaysia. I really enjoy her singing. 'Honey Bee' is about a romance between two nonconformists who are different from the rest of the hive, and are trying to avoid the pressure to be like everybody else.

Waltzing With Anne
- Joe Derrane - Grove Lane - New CD from long time instrumentalist.

Night Ride To Armagh - Brian Finnegan - The Ravishing Genius of Bones -  Another new CD worth a listen.

Tall White Horses - Dave Gibb - Looking At The Past - Left handed, balding, middle-aged, songwriting folky from Scotland's highest village.
