Scarlet Tone at San Tracuba – 12/04/2012

(Image: Andy Cowen by Scarlet Tone)


I don’t mean it as an insult when I say that Scarlet Tone is not exactly unique. You can go to just about any city in the country, from London to Manchester, Birmingham to Leeds, and I guarantee you can find nights just like it when you get there – provided you know where to look. Up and down the country people are gathering in quiet pubs somewhere between the city centres and the suburbs and listening to the local talent ply their trade on acoustic guitars…

Interview: EverIsland Presents…

This interview nearly didn’t happen! Here’s what the plan was. Meet up with the EverIsland guys, Sam and Clarry, at Mello Mello. Simples. A sit down with Liverpool’s newest and freshest promoters sounded right up my street and where better to see them than where thier recent jam packed Muto Leo gig took place?

Got there, Mello was shut. It’s a long story so I’ll save you the trauma but it involved a lonely sit down in LEAF, a broken phone, a sachel of sugar and an accidental cross of paths with the EverIsland guys captured on Slater Street by an unassuming Phil Macdonald, our photograpoher. It was a fluke I even found them but as long as they were in sight I could rest easy that night…
