Sandy Denny & The Strawbs
LEGEND surrounds this alliance between the first lady of British folk and the much-loved Strawbs, which many now think of as the original British rock-folk album.

It’s an endearing yet strange mix of Denny’s ethereal, fluting voice and melancholy material and The Strawbs’ more knockabout folk.


Songs such as Who Knows Where The Time Goes and Tell Me What You See In Me are flawless while the original album with out-takes and unreleased demos make it perfect for all music fans.


The Express - VERDICT 4/5
Joan Jett - At the 100 Club

Joan Jett is mesmerizing, a consummate performer and musician who can still rock out with the best of them Distorted magazine review of the 100 club show - published 16/06/2010

As she led the charge into a singalong of ''I love Rock''n''Roll'', which has been her calling card for almost 30 years, Jett denied her fans not a milligram of the simple, unthreatening pleasure the song can bring, emitting a series of fabulous yowls. She was a sound performer, a hearty singer, and she had a vital quality, which we rarely associate with rock - decorum. -
The Daily Telegraph review of the 100 club show - published16/06/2010

Why did we ever care about Courtney Love when we had Joan Jett? She''s been missing from this country for too long

Sacred Hearts and Secret Music

Most of the chants here presented are no longer regularly performed – but nevertheless are some of the most beautiful and haunting melodies to be found in the chant repertoire.

The booklet contains full tests,extensive notes and a foreword by Sarah Dunant,author of the novel “Sacred Hearts”,just published by Virago/Random House. The novel is set entirely within a Benedictine convent in 16th Century Ferrara.

Musica Secreta were formed nearly twenty years ago to explore the music sung by courtly women and courtesans of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Over time,they expanded this to include music that might have been performed by Renaissance nuns – and indeed in monasteries also. They are at the forefront of performance practice research in this repertoire. Their last release,“Motetti a Cinque Voce” by Alessandro Grandi (DDA25062) received high praise.

Formed in 2003,Celestial Sirens is a select,non-professional female choir committed to the performance of choral works in the style of Renaissance and early modern convents.

Press,Promotion and Marketing

The CD will be fully serviced to all UK classical music press and radio. Advertising will include major classical music magazines and publications (BBC,Gramophone,IRR and others).

This CD is heavily featured in BBC R4 Woman’s Hour adaptation of Sarah Dunant’s latest novel “Sacred Hearts”,published by Virago/Random House. This serialised adaptation is broadcast twice daily on R4 from 30th June to 10th July.

In addition there are features on R3 “In Tune”,R3 “Private Passions”,R3 “Nightwaves” and also concerts at the South Bank and other venues. More promotional activity is planned,making it certain that the novel will feature heavily on the bestseller lists throughout the summer.
