The Murder Barn in session and interview

The Murder Barn
Another highlight from November's live sessions on Amazing Radio Breakfast (see yesterday's highlight The Hall of Mirrors here - there will be more everyday this week)... was The Murder Barn. This band of gypsy's and ne'er do well's make dramatic 'epic' tunes that combine the dust and spurs of Cowboy country with the grey marshy flatland of Walthamstow in east London. It can be done! Hear them do it here, session tracks and find out more in their interview:

Sophie Jamieson - live session and interview

Sophie Jamieson
Another highlight from Amazing Radio in November came for a session for The Other Woman which goes out on Sunday evenings. Sophie Jamieson is a young folk singer songwriter who has a lyrical and musical sensibility that is well beyond her years. She's also keen to get back to playing her electric guitar which should be something to look out for if these two live tracks are anything to go by, can't wait till she plugs in!

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.

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
