We are delighted to announce our latest signing - Bedfordshire quartet In The Forest. They describe themselves as "acoustic, indie-folk band featuring family dynamics and four-part harmonies with vocals that blend naturally and instinctively" We hear elements of The Staves, Tuung and Fairport Convention. The band release their debut EP in 3 weeks, too late for LNFG to jump aboard but we will be putting our full weight behind the project and grabbing a track from the EP for the full single treatment in July. We will be revealing more plans in the coming months and can't wait to get...

Interview by Isabella Eastwood I low-key imposed a video call on David MacGregor (Broken Chanter), somewhat springing it on him with the follow-up “it’s what I’ve been doing for all the interviews so far”. I like to think I softened the blow by emphasising tea and biscuits were, if not mandatory, at the very least highly recommended.

We are delighted to announce that LNFG39 (Slotted for release in November 2020) will be none other than the debut release from Slow Weather entitled "Clean Living" The first collaborative work between our own Annie Booth and renowned producer Chris McCrory (A Catholic Action) Annie and Chris first met when Annie was providing feature vocals on a Wojtek the Bear track. A big fan of his recording style, Annie then went into the studio with Chris to work on her EP Spectral. The process was extremely fun and organic, leading to talk of writing together for a new project. After...

Interview by Isabella Eastwood. As is becoming more normal and (slightly) less awkward, Medicine Men’s frontman Ian MacKinnon and I start our video interview on what is a still abnormally sunny afternoon. Ian cracks open a beer as he settles down, and I greedily eye the bottle while mentally shuffling my notes. As for many of the artists I’ve spoken with so far, Ian has benefitted from the Isolation Session project, not only in terms of having a focus, but having the opportunity to approach music in a new way.   First things first, Ian tells me why he chose...

Interview by Isabella Eastwood - April 2020 In the second set of our Isolation Interviews series, Andrew Nicol, Rachel Elliott and I gathered around our phones and discussed the stress of shifting work patterns, identity in isolation, and how remote working has afforded them a certain freedom to experiment in a different way.   Both Andrew and Rachel are witnessing changes in their daily working lives and the jobs they hold outside of music. Andrew’s visits as a public health nurse for children from 0 to 5 and their families are restricted, and Rachel, working for Scottish Water, is temporarily...
