Maggie Reilly - Heaven Sent
Best known for her lengthy collaboration with Mike Oldfield. Standout folk pop rock album.

Olive Brown - Empress of the Blues
Compilation featuring 10 tracks from three 70’s Jazzology albums and an additional 7 tracks from ‘72, recorded live at the King Cotton Hotel in Memphis. A fine blues/jazz album from a singer who didn’t get the recognition she deserved.

Another really good album by Eivor. Some of you might have heard trax of hers in the BBC The Last Kingdom series.

Booked Maggie a few times for live gigs with her original band Cado Belle. Those were the days. My fav track of hers is September off the ep Cado Belle released after their first album came out. The album was a big disappointment as they suffered from poor productions values on it.
Stuart McKillop from the band left to work with ABBA.

Jacco Gardner, Somnium, bandcamp
Not his best, IMHO. Baroque pop. Random selection.
Lisa Mills - I’m Changing and TIF,
Lisa is a superb singer, guitarist and songwriter. Lisa and “Evangeline” just make sublime music.

The Dandelion, Seeds Flowers and Magical Powers of The Dandelion, bandcamp
Mainly 'cause bandcamp said if you like Jacco Gardner then you’ll like these. Well I can see the similarity in style, both bands have hints of the 60’s psychedelic, but on first play I’m not convinced that I like The Dandelion that much.
