The fantastic @whytehorses at the RFH live review. Jangle pop, Yé-yé and a brilliant and totally unexpected revival of a forgotten Bee Gees song

Very much enjoyed this book, One for @shindigmagazine @MOJOmagazine and anyone who loves music from #rock's golden age https://t.co/pMWNn7OwEb

Hunters In The Snow by @RwHedges sounds like it should be a classic 1920s US novel. It is rather a fantastic new folky/country pop album. Cheers to @MonkeyPicks for the tip.
