 Sweet Billy Pilgrim (Live)

 "Like James Yorkston with more edge." - High Voltage"Achingly Beautiful." - Shifty Disco

"Beautiful, just beautiful. If these tracks are anything to go by then I can only hope great things are going to happen. I think you'll agree it's sublime." -Spoilt Victorian Child

"It's somewhere between 'Peace at Last' period Blue Nile, some twists of latter day King Crimson and a nudge of Elbow." - Kelvin Hayes (Buzz Magazine)

" A world away from the check shirt by numbers alt-country scene, this is great songwriting and spellbinding arrangements, beautifully played and sung. Enchanting stuff, very highly recommended." - Boomkat

"[the "stars spill out of cups EP] just might contain your next favourite song." - *sixeyes

Gregory and the Hawk (Live)

The gentle, hook-laden songs of Gregory And The Hawk's mostly solo/acoustic sets have received much of their considerable attention through internet streaming and downloads, resulting in a groundswell of support that belies the fact that up until now, there has been no label, no manager, or indeed any other supportive network to help them on their way. Gregory And The Hawk have but one thing on their side - the ability to craft spellbinding, idiosyncratic pop songs, that sound at once suggestive, familiar, and yet very much of themselves.
