Hello, after an unfortunate hiatus, the reasons for which are probably best not gone into here, we finally have some new music on the AUK MySpace site. For your listening pleasure this month we offer Nathan Oliver, Conrad Ford, the irrepressible Todd Snider and the delightful Beccy Owen. Don't forget too, for those of you within striking distance of Leicester, Electric Dustbowl 2 on 19 September.

Hello, it's that time of the month again when we add more lovely music to our site. This month's happy foursome are The Barker Band in wistful mode, the summer of love-ish Old Californio, the anything but summer love-ish Christopher Rees and, wait for it..."Travelling Salesman's Young Wife Home Alone On Christmas In Montpelier, VT" from Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, which evenr if it was rubbish (and it's not) just had to be included for the names alone.

Great set last night.

Mar 11 2009 9:55 PM

Hello again,

It’s that time of the month and our site has four new tracks up for your listening enjoyment.

This month’s box of delights include the swaggering groove of Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, the insanely catchy folk-pop of Antje Duvekot, the languid Great Lake Swimmers and, a little belatedly but better late than never, The Young Republic.

A particularly strong month, even if we do say so ourselves. Check them out, you won't regret it.

Mar 9 2009 1:02 PM

Friday 13th March, The Basement, York.

Mark Wynn and his all-star band headline a fantastic night of whisky soaked country blues and folk in support of his critically acclaimed debut EP which is being launched on the night!

Also playing are:
The Sorry Kisses
Serious Sam Barrett
Ryan Spendlove
Delta Maid

Excited? You fucking should be!

Doors at 7:30pm and tickets are selling fast, so grab one while you can!
