"They've got a great line in lilting literate folk music, somewhere between James Yorkston, Gravenhurst and Nick Cave" according to Mountain 7 , and who are we to disagree?
"Struggles & Lulls", the brand new album from Joan Coffey, is available now on ITunes
'a voice that can enchant. Coffey's vocal chords deliver liquid gold with a divine Irish lilt.' FATEA Records 'charming and honest'. Time Out 'Joan's music exudes a warmth, humility and truth that is rare to find in singer-songwriters these days'. Thea Gilmore
Hey! Hope you are doing good. I wanted to let you know about a show i'm doing in London on Sunday, June 1st.
I'm touring with Tommy Allsup. He played guitar with Buddy Holly, and is the guy playing on songs like "Heartbeat", "It's So Easy", etc, etc.....he is 76 and still going strong.
He is a character.
Anyway, i would love to see you at the show. I think as a fellow musician that you will really appreciate seeing Tommy play, and listening to his stories! He is THE guy that flipped the coin with Ritchie Valens.
If you want to see Tommy in action....check out my blog. There is a video from last week in Nashville from the studio.
Take care, the music is sounding great, and i hope to see you soon!
Sincerely,
Kevin Montgomery

It is a voluptuous scene, this masquerade. It is observed that the giddiest grow pale, and the more aged and sedate pass their hands over their brows as if in confused reverie or meditation. But with the echoes, a light laughter at once pervades the assembly; it is a gay and magnificent revel, and the evening does glow beautifully in hazy barbaric lustre. The Hot Club! psychosexual!
Big thank you for Saturday!! Hope you enojoyed the festival as much as I did! Amzing acts all round I thought. Was great to have you hold up at least half the Norwich end amongst the northern peeps and London runaways ... (no offence ;o)

What a brilliant set last night, I love your songs and now so happy I have the CD too, thanks very much for that, I've been playing it all evening! And I'll be playing "My Confession" on my NorwichCore Tribute show on Future Radio, too.
I really enjoyed your set last night. I liked the vocal harmonies you had. Apologies for the behaviour of a loud drunk history teacher on my table. Bloody teachers. Can't take them anywhere. Hope to catch you again soon.
THANK YOU!! Howdy gents, Just a wee post to thank you soo much for performing last night. It was a gorgeous set that clamed me down no end on a otherwise frantic night! And what a beautiful addition your guest vocalist was!
