Mercury nominated British singer songwriter Lou Rhodes returns with her third solo album One Good Thing, released March 14th through Motion Audio.
One Good Thing brilliantly and beautifully reflects the very natural talent of one of Britain's most accomplished and unconventional singer songwriters. Recorded in just two weeks in live takes with minimal editing and overdubs the result is a record of disarming honesty.

Dan Arborise
Dan at myspace
Described as "John Martyn meets Nick Drake for the 21st century"- The Fly , Dan Arborise juggles evocative songs and never-ending multi-layered acoustic guitar instrumentals, whilst wandering from sea cliff to deep valley? His atmospheric debut album 'Around in Circles' was released in 2006 on Just Music to great acclaim. Live, Dan's tender and haunting voice is the perfect match for his intense,emotive and rhythmic guitar-picking. Expect unusual open tunings, songs that develop into tunes, and tunes that grow into songs, and a beautiful guitar sound that is transformed but never compromised by some amazing electronic guitar effects.
"Inventive and mercurial...a quiet gem" - 4/5 UNCUT

Oh Ruin

Oh Ruin's story begins in Dublin, where Eoin played guitar for a string of bands, supported Morrissey and set his sights on London.
With a taste for the great and the good of old Irish poetry, Eoin's crooning tales of childhood mischief and the first sweet stings of love combine stomping blues with campfire quiet troubadour tunes. A little loose, a little rough around the edges, his melodies borrow from old traditional Irish folk songs set to intricate, finger picked paeans.
