Over thirty years ago, before many readers were born, The JuJu Club of Sheffield, devoted to promoting live world music bands with the emphasis on high energy danceability, took over Crookes Social Club, reigning there for seven years. In the course of those seven years as well as putting on some amazing nights, it managed to get the Social Club to change its old-fashioned rules in order to give women equal rights to men (before this change, women were only allowed into the club as ‘guests’ of male members!)
Fast forward to 2018 and Papa Al from the JuJu Club saw two amazing bands play in Sheffield. One was Captain Avery and The Cosmic Triceratops of Intergalactic Peace: psychedelic space miscreants with a fantastic back story of stranded space travel, who were launching their first album ‘Mutant Disco’ in Cafe Deli. The other was Onipa, the latest creation of Kweku Sachey, universally know as KOG, and Tom Excell, the man behind the highly successful Leeds band Nubiyan Twist.
Onipa had just put out their first single ‘Open My Eyes’ (Released in September) and were playing their first gig in in Sheffield in the unlikely setting of Workstation Reception. The place went wild, as if an uncontrollable dancing fever had taken them over. Papa Al, one of the first infected, claimed that this was the most exciting band he had seen for years, and phoned their agent the next day to book them.
Now both bands will come together for a storming gig on Friday May 3rd, and Al has dusted off the JuJu Club banner, and booked Crookes Social Club, the old stomping ground with its huge danceflloor for the night. The event is also a fund raiser for a charity in Ghana, called International Needs.
Gig Details:
Date: Friday 3rd May
Venue: Crookes Social Club, Mulehouse Road, Sheffield S10 1TD
Tickets: £7.50 from Airy Fairy (London Rd), Balance (Division St), or online from Event Brite and Party For The People.
APRE have today unveiled new track ‘Gap Year 2008’, which is available now. Alongside acclaimed recent single ‘Backstreet’, ‘Gap Year’ will form part of the band’s third in a trilogy of introductory EPs (following ‘The Movement Of Time’ and ‘Drum Machines Killed Music’). Having opened for the likes of Sam Fender, Lany and been confirmed to tour with Sea Girls, APRE have already been confirmed to take their formidable live show to this year’s SXSW, The Great Escape, Live at Leeds and Bushstock. Their headline UK headline tour – including a London show at Omeara on April 3rd– kicks off this March.

ANNOUNCE SIGNING TO PARTISAN RECORDS, DEBUT EP, NO.1, OUT MAY 10th. SHARE NEW SONG ‘LADY SOLINAS’
Montreal-based 5-piece POTTERY have shared a new single ‘Lady Solinas’ (w/ music video featuring animation from drummer Paul Jacobs) and confirmed details for their debut EP No.1. The band have signed to Partisan Records who’ll release the EP on May 10th, 2019.
Lead singer Austin Boylan explains: “‘Lady Solinas’ is a satirical take on the story of Andy Warhol’s shooter, Valerie Solanas (Warhol’s writer of the screenplay “UP YOUR ASS”, also the writer of “SCUM Manifesto”). The story is used to consider the power of passion in artists and its effect on their mental condition. Although the lyrics hold a serious message, the approach to convey it is ultimately comedic.
Pottery recorded No. 1 over just two nights, cut live to tape, some tracks only requiring one take. The songs touch on post-punk, pop, dance, and the band credits Orange Juice, Josef K and Devo as primary influences. It’s shrill, jarring at times, with a hypnotic quality that pulls a harmony out of the discord. ‘Lady Solinas’ is the follow up to their debut single ‘Hank Williams‘, which was spotlighted by Gorilla vs. Bear, Fader, DIY, Stereogum + more.
The band has supported Parquet Courts and Thee Oh Sees, and next month they’ll begin a North American run with Viagra Boys which will include a stop at SXSW. The band have also announced their debut UK/EU shows for May – see below for a full touring itinerary – before they return later in the summer for slots at Green Man and End of the Road festivals. Full SXSW schedule coming soon.

‘BLUE SKY IN YOUR HEAD’ RELEASED MAY 3RD ON POLYDOR. INCLUDES ‘ESSENTIALS’: ALL THEIR CLASSIC SONGS REMASTERED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME
Messages of hope and uplift. Sentiments of community and communion. Songs of love and connection. Tunes to sing, loudly, from the heart. It can only be Lighthouse Family, back to dream up the magic all over again.
“I like hymns, always have. I was in the choir as a kid,” adds Tunde. “I think all the songs on the record have that feel. They’re urban hymns.”
Indeed, the new album has something that has always been present with Lighthouse Family: a sense of optimism and renewal. “We’re trying to create something anthemic and uplifting but real,” says Paul. “That idea of: ‘I know the sun’s gonna shine again’, it’s quintessential Lighthouse Family.”
“And that’s kind of you what you want Lighthouse Family songs to do: put a Blue Sky In Your Head,” adds Paul.
Those years have not dulled Lighthouse Family’s remarkable ability to craft elegantly beautiful songs. Their first single in almost two decades, ‘My Salvation’ is an upbeat track that flies high on lush strings and has echoes of Pet Shop Boys at their imperial best. Inspired in part by the birth of Paul’s son, its sentiments chime perfectly with the band’s return. “I wrote it at the end of 2016, when there were lots of things changing in politics and it felt like there was nothing solid to hold on to. There’s the line: ‘When you say a prayer, does anybody hear, send an SOS…’ You’re looking for that touchstone that salvation can bring.”
“What happens when Tunde and I get in the studio is, we just drift off – we don’t ever row!” says Paul. “There’s no shouting or throwing things. In fact we only ever had one argument – but it lasted 20 years!”
Tunde Baiyewu and Paul Tucker formed Lighthouse Family after meeting at Newcastle University in the early 1990s. Their 1995 debut album ‘Ocean Drive’ was a slow-burning success, going six times platinum while staying in the album charts for almost three years. ‘Lifted’ became one the defining songs of the era, a pop-soul classic that was inescapable on radio, becoming the soundtrack of high street Britain, drivetime Britain and night-out Britain.
The 1997 follow-up, ‘Postcards From Heaven’, featured three Top Ten singles – ‘Raincloud’, ‘High’ and ‘Lost in Space’ – and also went six-times platinum, charting across Europe, the Far East, Australia and New Zealand. Their third album, ‘Whatever Gets You Through The Day’ (2001) produced another Top Ten single in the shape of ‘(I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be) Free/One’, but by this time the band were at breaking point, their friendship burnt out after years on the road living in each others’ pockets. And both of them were heartbroken by grief. Paul’s father had died, and he sought solace in the rock’n’roll lifestyle. While Tunde had lost his mother, a situation complicated by the fact that his stepfather, Olusegun Obasanjo, was at the time the President of Nigeria. Little wonder the duo badly needed a break.
In the intervening years Paul formed a band, The Orange Lights, while Tunde released two solo albums, but the old connection between the pair remained, and in 2010 they got back together with a view to making a fourth album.
“Somehow we couldn’t knock it together in the studio,” says Paul. “So we decided to go and do some shows, to remind ourselves who we are and what we do. As one of the Duran Duran guys said to me: ‘What do you want to go in the studio for? That’s where all the arguments happen! Go and do some gigs…’ So, that’s what we did, and it was great.”
The old itch was still there, though, and by the time the band reunited again in 2016 they were determined to make a record, something that was classic Lighthouse Family, but also sounded like it could be made today. Bunkered in a north London studio, the old friends and collaborators quickly found their groove.
‘Blue Sky In Your Head’ is Lighthouse Family’s fourth album, and sees them back on their original label Polydor and reunited with Colin Barlow, the A&R that discovered them, and their first manager, Keith Armstrong; the same team that was around them when they were at their FM Radio-dominating peak. The duo will follow the album’s release with a UK tour later this year, culminating at the iconic London Palladium on November 22

Authenticity is a difficult thing to measure in American roots music. It’s not in the hat you wear, or the twang in your voice. It’s in how well you understand that the music comes from the land, and that its roots run deep. Americana songwriter Amber Cross understands this, and on her new album, Savage on the Downhill, she makes music as beholden to the landscapes of Northern and Pacific California, where she lives and travels, as to the visually-rich songwriting she crafts around it. Her songs hang heavy with the yellow dust of dirt roads, plunge deep into the soft loam of the forest. As a hunter, a fisherman, and a woman of the backcountry, she knows the countryside well, and has a deep respect for the honest work that makes you a steward of the land. It’s something she shares with other roots musicians, a community she found attending her first Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada. Her contacts from the gathering helped her connect with Savage on the Downhill’s producer, Canadian blues and roots musician Ray Bonneville. Travelling to Austin to record the album with Bonneville, Cross connected with other great American songwriters, Gurf Morlix and Tim O’Brien, who both came onboard for the album, with O’Brien complimenting her “no bullshit style of singing.” If there’s a rawness to Cross’ voice, a plainness to the words, it comes from the fact that Cross knows the roots of this music aren’t fancy. They’re built by hand and filled with honest words and hard-won truths.
The songs on Savage on the Downhill are deeply visual and inextricably tied to nature, whether the California forests that Cross roams through, or the high deserts outside Austin, Texas, where she recorded the album. Even the title of the album paints a picture of Cross in the backcountry. “Savage” refers to a brand of hunting rifle, and the phrase “Savage on the Downhill” refers to how a tracker should hold a rifle so as not to bury the barrel into the dirt when side-hilling or climbing down an incline. Like any artist that works with their hands, Cross has a deep love and respect for tools, seeing the same artistry in a well-worn rifle butt that you would in a perfectly crafted song. “I have always been drawn to work that involves my hands,” Cross says. “It seems to me that this type of work is more creative. Or maybe it is that working with my hands pulls the creativity out of me in a way nothing else does.”
Throughout, Cross moves easily through different styles of country and folk songwriting, from Bakersfield outlaw attitude to Woody Guthrie plain-spoken folk. She’s a songwriter able to juxtapose a simple image with a powerful poetic emotion. On ‘Echoes’, she paints the picture of a humble domestic scene, then wonders what happens to a house when the people who made it a home have left it behind. On ‘Pack of Lies’, she moves between hard-hitting lines like “Pretending to love is a wicked game” and vision-laden verses like “Barking dogs rule the moonless night.”
It may come as no surprise that Amber Cross first came to music through singing in a small church in rural Maine, where she was born and raised. Her father was a small-town pastor and she was raised on the rough-hewn homilies of the hymnal. Now, Cross is creating her world by hand, working her songs until they shine with a worn polish, finding truth in tradition.

Upon first hearing Amber Cross you might think you are listening to an archival Smithsonian recording. Her old-time voice is clear and captivating, like a strong muscle, fringed in lace. She’s a singer and songwriter who writes from her own life’s struggles and experiences, delivering her stories with unforgettable power and emotion.
Originally from Maine, Amber spent her early years surrounded by gospel music in a small town church where her father preached and her mother played piano. In 2003 Amber left her studies at New Mexico State University to pursue her love for music. She moved up and down the coast of California; the San Francisco Bay Area, the Sierra Foothills, the San Joaquin River Valley, the coastal range of Sonoma County, and now San Luis Obispo County. She has opened for such artists as Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Gurf Morlix, Mary Gauthier and Dave Stamey, as well as made frequent guest performances with The Wronglers, Warren Hellman’s band, founder of San Francisco’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival.
In March 2013 Amber released her debut album You Can Come In. Country Music People discovered the album and gave it a 5 Star Review and CD Of The Month, saying “Every now and again a debut CD arrives and you know about 30 seconds in that you are experiencing something a bit special… it’s appeal is likely to be broad, from bluegrass, rootsy Appalachian, to country or honky-tonk.”
After six hugely successful, sold out #360RAW events last year, each of them exhilarating and emotional nights, 2019 heralds the seventh event showcasing the incredible talent emerging from West Yorkshire. RICHARD WATSON, promoter of the 360 Club, and ALAN RAW, presenter of BBC Introducing West Yorkshire and BBC Introducing Humberside, have announced the latest of these special events.
Taking place on FRIDAY 29 MARCH – and subtitled #360RAW7 – the event this time focuses on the emerging talent in the alt-folk, singer-songwriter and blues field, and features a further four of the region’s finest and most exciting emerging artists: CLARE KELLY from Leeds; THE BLACKSMITH from Castleford; LIAM SULLIVAN from Huddersfield; and MOLLY RYMER from Leeds.
As with previous #360RAW events, the night will see Alan Raw DJ before and between the live sets, playing new music of all styles from local artists. Anyone can turn up and meet the face behind BBC Introducing and are encouraged to bring demos which he may well play on the night, or pass onto the producers for consideration on his shows. The ethos of #360RAW is purely about supporting emerging acts, a passion that both Richard and Alan share, and one that sees them freely offer musicians their time, their help and their advice without any hidden agenda.
“… The audience fell silent, in complete awe of her ability, mesmeric voice and dreamy guitar tones; each song comprising of emotive and deeply personal lyrics …” COUNTERFEIT
CLARE KELLY is a solo alt-folk artist who releases her new single, LESS ALONE, on 29 March 2019. The song is a melancholic tale of returning home to Yorkshire after 18 months travelling abroad and trying to adapt back to the life she had before her adventures. After the success of the debut ELUSIVE YUSEF EP, her new material delves ever deeper and delivers raw and gritty memories of the past. Hailing from Leeds, Clare has received heavy support from BBC Radio Introducing, had her songs featured on Made in Leeds TV, and toured across the UK, the USA and Australia, telling stories of travel and relationships with a dark energy and unique twist. Her new EP will be released later this year.
Sometimes in life, we just have to start again; this was the notion behind Jack Edwards’ new venture THE BLACKSMITH. After recovering from a total thyroidectomy operation in 2016, he had to completely rehabilitate his voice; learning how to speak and sing again. Jack had been slowly building a following as a bluesy singer-songwriter and put off the thyroid operation because of the obvious risks until the surgeon told him it was his voice or his life. After months of rehabilitation, the voice slowly re-emerged. It’s deeper now and different to what his audience heard before – the belting, raw bluesy numbers are no longer possible – but Jack was determined to go back to the forge and hammer out something new. His first acoustic EP was released last summer, for which Jack will remain eternally grateful.
Following the release of his solo RESTLESS EP in 2016, LIAM SULLIVAN has since been playing with a number of exceptional musicians and has recently finished recording THE NEWS I NEEDED EP, which will be released later this year, seeing the new songs take on a darker and heavier sound. He’s honed his craft and these songs now show off his exceptional lyricism with each one taking a journey through time and space. His live performance is energetic and mesmerising, and renowned for combining raw energy with gut wrenching emotion
MOLLY RYMER is a singer-songwriter from Leeds, writing and performing her own songs with subtle guitar skill and cleverly-written lyrics. She has performed live on BBC Introducing; played the legendary Leeds Brudenell Social Club; and worked with Mike Heaton from Embrace on the recent single I LEAVE TODAY, taken from her WHERE I AM NOW EP. She also regularly performs at the community focussed Chapel FM Arts Centre in East Leeds and is now making waves on the thriving Leeds music scene.
Since forming in Liverpool in 2015, Life At The Arcade’s upbeat indie pop rock has seen them rapidly grab the attention of gig and festival goers, plus easily earn fans at BBC Introducing (Dave Monks) and BBC 6 Music (Chris Hawkins, Tom Robinson), plus even scoop an honourable Track of The Week at Radio X with irresistible former single “Wonderland”. On debut EP: ‘From The Basement’, the band offered up a collection of tracks that affirmed their formidable knack for a soaring chorus and intelligent lyric, with the release since cementing itself as essential listening post amongst their growing army of fans.
In 2019 at a time of true political and social upheaval, LATA will take their own message to the masses on ‘The Fake News Tour’, hitting the road in support of some fierce new material to be revealed in the coming weeks.

ONLY SUN are back with a new single: ‘VICE’. Packed with dizzyingly rapid-fire vocals duels and tautly triggered key-changes, this fresh new cut from the rising High Wycombe five piece is drivingly frenetic and darkly funky in equal measure.
Revamped with an invigorating lust for life and a refreshed zeal for their work, ‘VICE’ is a proud statement of intent from a band back-from-the-brink. As Only Sun explain:
‘“VICE. Everyone’s got one. Whether it’s your career, sport, music or anything else under the sun. It feels good to slip into routine, let the muscle memory take control, watch yourself at work and think “God, I’m good at this”. This epitomises the feeling Only Sun have when they step out onto that stage. After some serious uncertainty about the band’s future VICE truly speaks of the reuniting of the band’s soul and infatuation. Allowing it to take over them in a moment of pure bliss. Live life addicted, live life VICE.’”
Landing on the 15th March, ‘VICE’ arrives as the latest single to be released by London’s hottest new label: CLOSEUP, an innovative new collaboration between LDN promoters Close-Up and the Modern Sky UK label.
Only Sun now look forward to a string of their own headline shows right around the corner, plus winning over audiences at major festivals including this year’s Liverpool Sound City. Bouncing on from their sold out London appearance earlier this month, fans in Bristol, Liverpool, Birmingham and Leeds can grab a piece of the action at the following dates and venues…

‘Follow Me’ is The Greedy Souls’ second single – it follows ‘We Will Rule’, read our review – and it continues in that heavy vein. Except that’s it heavier, it kinda leaves out the alternative edge that their first single had. It reminds me of some classic NWOBHM songs of what we might refer to as my youth – it has these shades at least musically of Saxon if I’m honest.
This is except for the vocals which are not – you may be happy to know – of that screaming metal type – they are strong yes, but they have this slight edge of Manchester. This is a really nice mix.
So if it’s heavy you’d expect riffs, and yep riffs are present and correct. It’s bassy and it’s fierce. You’d expect some guitar solos, and yep these are there, but they are clever, they stand out because they don’t do that screaming rock guitar thing.
The drums for me really stand out, they stand out by not being all over the track, the drumming is sparse but hugely effective.
After The Greedy Souls first single I was really looking forward to future releases, I don’t feel let down at all. This rocks.
The Shuttle Shuffle Festival is a Bradford Urban Grassroots Music Festival held in Little Germany, Bradford. This years festival takes place over Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th August 2019
Venues confirmed so far: Sorm Studios, Bradford Playhouse, The Merchant Bar with more to be confirmed.

Shuttle Shuffle has always been about grassroots music, across all genres and about inclusion, involving people in music and art, experiencing it for themselves.

Also, they’ve always been about including different grassroots cultures, frotm varied musical and ethnic communities, enjoying difference and diversity.
The organisers love Bradford and its vibrancy and feel the Shuttle Shuffle celebrates and reveals the beauty of Bradford’s various grassroots cultures.
Shuttle Shuffle took a rest in 2017, and relaunched at Sorm Studios in August 2018, in Little Germany. With one outdoor stage and two indoor stages as well as dance, photography, storytelling, and all kinds of workshops. It was very enjoyable and a great success. The bands came from Bradford and across Yorkshire, very grassroots. They included youngsters to pensioners, learning disabled individuals, people who had struggled with mental health issues, people who hadn’t. It catered across all genres. And people loved it. They enjoyed themselves, they lost their labels, opened their eyes and enjoyed being with their fellow human being.
The Shuttle Shuffle is evolving. In 2019 the festival is going to be held across various venues in the historic area of Little Germany, Bradford. It will include again Sorm Studios, but also Bradford Playhouse, and Merchant Bar and other venues too.
