Hall of Mirrors - live session and interview

The Hall of Mirrors

Yikes no posts in over a month! It's that time of year when frankly, shit gets crazy. On the Amazing Radio Breakfast Show however we've been packed full of live sessions and interviews with some fantastic women artists. In fact, our Tips for 2013 list features more Dames than Dudes. Check us out redressing the balance!

I'll be posting everyday this week with highlights from November, starting with The Hall of Mirrors - Jess Winter and her band are set for greatness and here Jess and her guitarist Simon play two tracks utterly stripped down.

Saint Saviour stunning live tracks and interview

Saint Saviour

It’s been fantastic to watch Becky Jones go from strength to strength as Saint Saviour. The Groove Armada co-writer and collaborator (on the Grammy nominated Black Light) has been slowly and carefully constructing her career as a solo artist. Now with stunning album Union out there and a deal with concert promoting giants AEG Live she’s off on tour with Wall, it’s going to be awesome. Songwriter, producer, musician, singer... fiercely independent and set for greatness.

Irish singer-songwriter Kal Lavelle and Suffolk folstress Fiona Bevan came and joined me in studio as joint Artist of the Week on Amazing Radio Breakfast. They both run excellent live music nights in London and have been firm friends for years, lovely session, lovely chat...

Kimberly Anne session video - Never Be Yours

South London lass Kimberly Anne was my artist of the week on Amazing Breakfast last week and she popped in for a chat and a session. She's a Brit School Alumni but all that hoo-ha kind of freaked her out, she kept a low profile and is now finding her voice:

Listen again with Laura from Ultraista in conversation

Laura Bettinson/ Ultraista

On The Other Woman this week we kicked off with a new single from Bristol bass and drums two piece Hysterical Injury, from their album Dead Wolf Situation.

There’s also a new single from Dublin born, Botswana raised, Berlin dweller Candice Gordon, Cannibal of Love is just what she promised – she said it would be ‘trashy’ and we love it.

Throwing Up provide some dirty garage rock for your ears and we hear from Laura Bettinson formerly of one woman music making machine Dimbleby & Capper who’s now working with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich as Ultraista…

Tiny Ruins and Correatown session videos

Every week on Amazing Breakfast we invite artists into our teeny tiny studio in London or Newcastle to record live for us. It's all very DIY and the result is often startling. New Zealand singer songwriter Tiny Ruins is just so so good. Check out the video and prepare for your jaw to drop. Angela Corea, or Correatown, has one of those voices that live really knocks your socks off. Thanks to both of them for these:

Tiny Ruins - Me At The Museum, You At The Winter Garden



Correatown - Meridians

Last week on Amazing Radio Breakfast our Artist of the Week was Australian singer-songwriter Emily Barker. Here she is performing two stunning (and effortless) live tracks from her 2011 album Almanac, Little Deaths and the song that won her a BAFTA for Best TV theme tune for BBC drama Wallander, Nostalgia:
