Latest show listen again with The Anchoress

Who is THIS?

Well, this is a fabulous promo shot of The Anchoress. You might remember piano chanteuse and Lady Gaga cover queen Catherine AD (she covered Telephone and transformed it), well she’s revamped her image and her sound and relaunched as The Anchoress. It’s pop-tastic and we love it.

This week we’re also featuring some of Simon Raymonde’s gorgeous session tracks with Sumie (Yukimi from Little Dragon’s sister) and there’s a new single from the inimitable gypsy ska crowd Gabby Young And Other Animals.

Listen again here!

Skinny Girl Diet in session

I'm in the gang! with Skinny Girl Diet

Recent guests on The Other Woman on Amazing Radio include scrappy teen grunge rockers Skinny Girl Diet. The London trio are blazing a trail on the live circuit already although not one is yet to hit twenty. With fans including John Kennedy and Everett True they’re creating quite the buzz with their grungy punk rock. We talk fad diets, girl gangs and... grunge!

Mad About the Boy - BBC Radio 4

Mad About the Boy is a programme for BBC Radio 4 presented by Jude Rogers and Ruth Barnes, produced by Falling Tree Productions. The thesis was this: obsessive teen girl fan culture is given a bad rap in the press and in society as a whole, going back generations. We look at the flip side, we celebrate it and conclude that it's a vital rite of passage for young women as they reach puberty. With contributions from author and David Cassidy fan Allison Pearson, One Direction songwriter Fiona Bevan, One Direction fans, E17's Tony Mortimer and Jude's mother-in-law and Beatlemaniac Lillian Adams.

Jessica Pratt in session

As usual Simon Raymonde has chosen another blinder of a session for his show this week. San Francisco's Jessica Pratt popped in and played some simple acoustic tracks. She's a new favourite of The Other Woman and we shall be playing these on the show over the next few weeks!

Johanna Glaza in session

Johanna Glaza

Prepare for something rather stunning. Remember Joana and the Wolf? Well they’ve been rather quiet for the past few years and that’s because their front woman Johanna Glaza has become, well, Johanna Glaza. The Lithuanian turned Londoner has struck out on her own via a stint of writing and playing in New York. The result is the stunning Shall I Be A Saint E.P. and here she is performing Mama and the title tracks in session on The Other Woman.

Sumie in session for Simon Raymonde

Sumie

Here's an Amazing Radio session I just had to post. Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins/ Bella Union Label boss) had the very beautiful Sumie in session recently and here it is for your listening pleasure. You know Yukimi from Little Dragon? This is her sister - talent runs in the family then!

De'Borah in session

De'Borah is a young singer songwriter from Croydon, via Brighton and The Brit School. Softly spoken and completely unassuming, when she starts singing her voice is spell binding. She's connected to the musical hotbed that is Fiona Bevan and Emily and the Woods et al, so she's in good hands. Also don't underestimate training at The Brit School, that's gotta toughen you up! The Waiting Games EP is out now and here she is in session for The Other Woman on Amazing Radio:
