Do Yourself A Favour

I haven't really used this blog for an extreme amount of blatant promotion, but there's an artist from America coming over in December/January and he needs to be seen by as many people as possible.

Hamell On Trial is one of the most amazing performers I've ever listened to, without doubt. If you go to his site take a listen to anything they offer from the "Choochtown" album or my personal favourite, "Hamell Comes Alive:Ed's Not Dead", in particular the songs 'Sugarfee', 'Big As Life', 'I'm Gonna Watch You Sleep' and 'Some Hearts' (you'll have to buy it to hear them all).

I thought he was never going to make it over here but turns out he's playing at the Woodford Folk Festival this year. Woodford itself is something that should be experienced by everyone at least once, but the fact that Hamell is going to be there means that everyone should do everything in their power to go this year and see him.
He's playing 5 shows up there, but I'd be surprised if he came all this way and didn't play in other states, so keep an eye for him.

Go see him. You wont regret it.
