Ed Laurie’s 3rd solo album is more personal than Ed lets on here, but it is a record imbued with searching and mystery. Set within a mercurial, musical narrative, ‘Cathedral’, for all its ellipses and ambiguities, is anchored by the sum of its parts: Ed’s distinctive guitar playing, soaring violins, wild saxophone, an expressive rhythm-section, and beautiful, emotive vocal performances, all take the listener on an enlightening journey. This record also confirms Ed as a songwriter capable of writing a collection of songs that stand together as much as they stand apart, each song lending itself to the next to create an ‘album’ in the true sense of the word.
Woody & Paul
Folk, country blues, jazz and rock and roll: Woody & Paul mixed it up and made a whole new music style of it.
Spilt Milk
Spilt Milk started as a Velvet Underground coverband, but nowadays it makes beautiful songs out of poems from great, well known poets such as Wallace Stevens, Robert Frost and William Carlos Williams.
