Congratulations to Ireland’s musical pride and joy Jedward, who yesterday crashed into the UK Singles Chart at number 80 with their magnificent cover of Blink 182′s ‘All The Small Things’.

I am absolutely smitten by Of Flight & Fury, the second album by Brighton band The Miserable Rich.
It may have been Stornoway’s year in the folk-pop stakes, but I think think this record easily eclipses the Oxford band’s debut. Described as ‘chamber pop’, largely on account of their gorgeous cello and violin players, The Miserable Rich [...]

On Saturday, I was ‘crowned’ The Kiosk’s “Dr Beat” for the month of March, at the expense of my fab colleagues Nadine O’Regan and February’s title holder Derek Byrne. Our latest ‘patient’, the very lovely Aveen Holland, selected my track, St Vincent’s Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood, as her personal favourite from the specially-compiled 18-track [...]
