Amalgam - complete review!

This is the best review of the complete history of Amalgam that I have ever seen! OK it's in Spanish but you can easily translate! http://www.discospat.net/trevor-watts-amalgam-1969-1980-musica-sin-fronteras/?fbclid=IwAR2EOP5CEcy-uZ35ssZqtYvV2Ur3UoA8Ghk-MiFzhwj1AU3_1iyLIdanBjY

Crossings by Veryan Weston

Crossings, Veryan Weston's brilliant written 'suite' of 9 compositions. Veryan plays electronic keystation throughout and the trio is made up of Hannah Marshall ('cello) & Mark Sanders (drums)
Recorded just pre-lockdown in Jan 2020 and peerlessly engineered by Alex Bonney. Grab a CD at https://www.hi4headrecords.com/catalogue.html#crossings

Legendary producer Peter Eden commented: 'Absolutely love it....so much to discuss'

Emergency by Death by Piano

Front Room Folk - Johnny Butler

At Front Room Folk in early May Johnny Butler performed a spectacular set from his rooftop in Brooklyn NYC - sax & electronics par excellence!

Front Room Folk - Peter Knight

Back at the beginning of May I had the great pleasure of interviewing folk royalty in the shape of  Peter Knight for FrontRoomFolk. Fab chat! A great virtual festival which raised over £7k for charity.
 Peter appears on two recordings in our catalogue, Reunion, Live in London in duo with Trevor Watts and as part of Trevor's Drum Orchestra on Drum Energy! He's also part of a film recorded at Cafe Oto in London which is available as a DVD. All available at https://www.hi4headrecords.com/ R'n'R!
