We were once again overflowing with #NewMusic on tonight's show. An eclectic mix of original, intelligent, melodic, grown-up songs - #electronic, #rnb, #jazz, #blues and #acoustic. And mostly from artists who you have not heard of - yet! Think 'next series of Jools' - that's the kind of artists that we play.
We had #NewMusic from : Lyves, The Mighty Bosscats (feat. Richard Townend), Abi Ocia, Tallia Storm, Katie Spencer, Ilyas Ahmed, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, No Money Kids, Ghostly Beard, Raveena and others.
Sadly, January 29th was the ninth anniversary of the passing of John Martyn. In our Luvva Cover feature, we will be paying our tribute to one of the great songwriters and musicians with a version of his song 'Small Hours'.
And Switch Dunmow's record of the week was by an unsigned artist from London - Hannah Clive (singer/songwriter). Her latest single is Remember To Breathe - "jazz, and dream pop, dazzled with a hint of country and splashed with R&B".
Music that you just don't hear anywhere else!
