l Willy Mason is doing a tour of Europe over the next couple of months and is looking for venues to play. And if you’d like him to come play in your house, well, he’s up for it. Go to http://special.theraft.com/ willymason/willy_mason_com p0107.html and leave your details, and, if your lucky, Mason will be rattling through tunes from his excellent forthcoming album If The Oceans Get Rough in your front room.
E Now here’s a bittersweet tale: there was an excellent young band from the south of England called Story One who, after spending vast amounts of time and money on producing their first album, are now circumventing the regular conceits of the music industry by giving away said album. They have chosen to put the long player on their website for free download — just go help yourself to their Afghan Whigs and Doves- ish indie rock. Alternatively, you can swap the record for something of yours in exchange. Go to www.storyone.co.uk to hear more.
