Andy's Recommendation of the week :

Richard Hawley - Lady's Bridge

Born in 1967 in Sheffield, Hawley has released five albums since 2000. Very proud of his working class upbringing, Hawley sings very much in his own accent. He sounds a bit like Morressey only much much less depressing.

Hawley's latest album Lady's bridge features a number of great ballads and soulful songs including the hit single Tonight the streets are ours (2007).

Richard used to work with Sheffield band pulp and admits "They saved my life"

Len's Recommendation of the week :

WORLD WAR Z

This is a gripping account of the struggles of the Zombie World War. The novel is essentially a mockumentary in book form. A journalist is interviewing survivors of the war against the undead and their very personal accounts reveal an aspect of the larger plot. The story mixes elements of science fiction, horror, techno-thriller and satire. Influences include “The War of the Worlds” and “28 days later” Satirical targets include the war on terror, environmentalism and celebrity culture.
World War Z is a phenomenon with fans including Simon Pegg “Shaun of the Dead” and a movie version is in the pipeline. By turns funny and disturbing you won’t be able to put it down.

Author – Max Brooks

Adam Schmitt – Burnin

Adam Schmitt is a 22-year old singer/songwriter from Minneapolis. He's basically awesome. Listen to the music and see for yourself.

Adama - Limbo

Describing Adama's style creates interesting thoughts within those who try to do so. Adama's rich, velvet voice brings to mind visions of Sade, Seal and Dido. The music, electronica by nature, is strong with pop-appeal, inviting the word-of-mouth genre/term, electro-pop, for company.
