Well as it's been nearly 12 months since I last posted on this blog, I thought it was time to update it just in case any of you come across this and wonder what's going on.<br />
<br />
Quite a few years ago I started this blog as an aside to my 'top secret' job of searching out new music to send to a radio station. I was basically a new music scout, but that wasn't all. I had a real passion for promoting new artists who might otherwise not get heard and at the time I felt the blog was the perfect platform where I could share their music and also write a little about them and my views on their music.<br />
<br />
In the autumn of 2011 a brand new community radio station, Radio Clwyd, was set up in Ruthin where I live. I went over to see how I could help, thinking that with my background and love of radio, there may be something I could do behind the scenes. To cut a long story short I was persuaded by Station Manager Mark Jones to have a go at actually presenting a show. The first one went out in November 2011. I had always said I was most definitely a listener and not a presenter, but I found I actually enjoyed it, especially as it gave me another platform to promote new musical talent.<br />
<br />
Initially I recorded my shows at the studios at the top of the Crown House building in Ruthin, but before long I was hooked and armed with Adobe Audition on my computer and my own microphone (a very thoughtful Christmas present!) I began to learn to create my own shows at home.<br />
<br />
I also recorded live sessions for Radio Clwyd including Isaac Birchall, Queen Beats Jack, Gary Edward Jones, Robert Vincent, Sparrowhawks and I Fight Lions, to name a few. And I recorded phone interviews with Zervas & Pepper, Bear's Den and two of my musical heroes - Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent from The Zombies. <br />
<br />
Jump forward to 2014 - Sadly Radio Clwyd is no more but I now host The Music Truffler on 3 radio stations - Radio Deeside in Flitshire, Triangle Radio in The Forest of Dean and Quasar Radio - a soon to be launched international station. The Music Truffler's show varies slightly on each one but the idea of the show remains the same - to promote the best new music around from signed and unsigned artists; if the music is good, I will play it. <br />
<br />
I haven't deserted Ruthin altogether - I also help run a new venture there called Live @ The Centre where we host monthly new music events where local (and not so local) musicians can come and play in front of a live audience. I interview the artists and the shows go out on Radio Deeside.<br />
<br />
So that's where I am at the moment. My Radio Deeside programme also goes onto Mixcloud each Monday morning so that those who can't listen in when it goes out can catch it at a time to suit them, and I have my own Facebook and Twitter pages. The links to all of these, including the radio staitons, are below. So if you are interested in listening in or seeing what I'm up to, or if you are a new band or artist who would like to be considered for The Music Truffler, please feel free to drop me a line.<br />

I don't know a huge amount about Alice Laybourne. But she has a new video out for her song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlj1R52BuOA" target="_blank">When You Go </a>which was shot in Allterton Towers in Liverpool.<br />
<br />
Alice herself is from Liverpool and is a singer-songwriter who draws her inspirations from Carole King, Kate Bush, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Natasha Bedingfield, Ellie Goulding, Lily Allen and Gabrielle Aplin.<br />
<br />
With no website yet and just this song on Soundcloud I will be interested to see what happens over the next 12 months. She is attracting attention with this song (17,433 and counting) and rightly so, as her voice is beautiful and the song is stunning. Check out her Facebook page and she is also on Twitter, if that's your thing.

James Bay is a singer-songwriter from Hitchen who has just released an ep called Dark of the Morning of which <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhWTREgDAxc" target="_blank">Move Together</a> is the lead single. <br />
<br />
It's a beautiful song which builds slowly to truly showcase some heartfelt and stunning vocals from James. Best of all, you can download this ep for free by visiting <a href="http://www.noisetrade.com/jamesbay/the-dark-of-the-morning-ep" target="_blank">his Noisetrade page.</a> So what have you got to lose?<br />
<br />
<span class="userContent">James has been added to the line up at this year's V Festival and will be on the Futures Stage on Saturday 17th August at Weston Park and Sunday 18th August at Hylands Park. He has opened for Rae Morris across the UK and has also recently played some dates in America to promote this EP. </span><br />
<span class="userContent"><br /></span>
<span class="userContent">His heroes are Carole King, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Jackson Browne and James Taylor - and with heroes like that he can't go wrong. On his website it states <i>"His raw expressions and graveled voice work in a magical unison that captivates audiences and strips pop melodies back to a skeletal efficiency."</i></span><br />

So what on earth could convince me to put a track about cricket (which in turn comes from a whole concept album about cricket!) onto The Music Truffler blog? Well, the fact that Neil Hannon is involved helps a lot... also the fact that it sounds very like the Electric Light Orchestra in style... oh go on then!<br />
<br />
So here we have The Duckworth Lewis Method with <b>Third Man</b> which comes from their new album Sticky Wickets. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVO5DNds-gA" target="_blank">Watch the video here</a><br />
<br />
The band consist of Neil Hannon (from The Divine Comedy) and Thomas Walsh from Pugwash. Believe it or not, this is their 2nd cricket inspired album, their first was released in 2009. The name incidentally comes from a formula which is applied to get the results from a rain-affected game. There are plenty of guests on the album - Phill Jupitus, Alexander Armstrong, Matt Berry, Daniel Radcliffe (on <b>The Third Man</b>), Stephen Fry - and you don't need to know a single thing about cricket to enjoy it. <br />

OK, so this isn't a new song. But it is new to me. And the rules of Music Truffler blog are that if they aren't new, they should be songs that are rarely heard. This track by Nashville based and Georgia raised Gabriel Kelly - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNLGcxpqYzc" target="_blank">The Only Thing To Do</a> - comes from his debut album, It Don't Come Easy. And it certainly didn't for Kelley, who had to raise the majority of the funds ($26,000) with a Kickstarter campaign. But he was stubborn and committed and grafted for 6 years to get it exactly how he wanted it. <br />
<br />
Even thought he might be relatively unknown over here in the UK, he has received some good write ups in the music press and on line. His work has been described as having the ability to blend "<i>Harvest era Neil Young songcraft with a modern day approach to mine his own emotions in the creation of powerful songs."</i> <br />
<br />
Over in the UK during June, and playing around London, most of us sadly won't have had the opportunity to catch him, and I have no idea when he will be coming over gain. But the album is certainly worth checking out... as is the wonderful video to Only Thing To Do.<br />

I'm quietly addicted to this album at the moment, and especially to the title song. Hollis Brown's album <i><b>Ride On The Train</b> </i>came out in the UK on 5th March and the single, also called <b>Ride On The Train</b> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GlNKST3_Rc">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GlNKST3_Rc</a> is a wonderful, chugging piece of Americana - with more than a nod to those 60s and 70s bands such as CCR. <br />
<br />
The band, who come from New York City, take their name from a Bob Dylan song and the album contains 10 fabulous tracks whose timelessness is even more remarkable when you consider the young age of all the band members (all born in the early 1990s). But of course that doesn't matter a bit because good music will always find a way out and many new artists today are discovering this style of writing and singing for themselves these days. <br />
<br />
<b>Ride On The Train</b> came to my attention as a free track on a cd that came with a music magazine. Not a bad cd, but this was the track I kept returning to again and again, until I was intrigued enough to find out more about Hollis Brown. And I'm glad I did because I know I'll be enjoying their album for a long time to come.<br />
<br />
You can try before you buy on Spotify or on www.pastemagazine.com. And check out their website and Facebook page for more details on the band.<br />

OK so this track isn't exactly new - it has been around since 2011 - but it's new to me. I sometimes wonder how some bands completely pass me by, especially when they live relatively locally, but that's the way it goes sometimes.<br />
<br />
The Reads are a Welsh alternative rock band whose debut album, <i>Stories From The Border</i>, was released in 2011. This song, <b>Galaxy Egg, </b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4nAsW_ncQc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4nAsW_ncQc</a> comes from that album and is also rather appropriate as we get ever nearer to Easter. <br />
<br />
The band have played local venues all over Wales and the North West and in 2010 were approached by a generous friend who offered to fund the cost of recording their first studio album. Music Producer Jim Spencer,
known for his work with Oasis, Doves and The Charlatans, was enlisted to record and mix the album. The project was later joined by Joe Duddell who took time out from working with Elbow
to come up with string and brass arrangements for five of the 12 songs. The album was mastered by Frank Arkwright who has worked with bands
such as Arcade Fire, The Smiths and Gomez and the album was played live for the first time at a music venue in Chester to a sell out crowd.<br />
<br />
They are currently working on a new album (again produced by Spencer) and can be found performing at local venues such as Telford's Warehouse, and were recently named Artists of the Week on BBC Radio Wales. Worth watching. <br />

The Coral's James Skelly has just recorded his debut album with his band The Intenders. Called <i>Love Undercover</i> it contains the single,<b> Do It Again</b>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0aVBjvAupUs">http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0aVBjvAupUs</a> released on 12th March. <br />
<br />
The album was was self-produced and recorded in Parr Street Studios, Liverpool with fellow Coral members and also members of The Sundowners and Tramp Attack. It will be released on 3rd June via Skeleton Key Records. <br />
<br />
The group have announced that they will tour, starting in Leeds on 6th June and will also play Sheffield, Liverpool, Birmingham, London, Bristol and finishing at Manchester's Gorilla on 15th June. <br />
<br />
<b>Do It Again</b> is available as a free download via their website and the album was recorded quickly, often in one or two live takes. This shows a more direct and immediate approach, says Skelly, rather than the more abstract stuff The Coral did. But it is very much a band effort and Skelly is keen to point out that <i>Love Undercover </i>isn’t merely an aside to his
previous ‘day job’.<br />
<br />
<i>“The name is about letting people know it’s not just
me and an acoustic guitar,” Skelly says. “I had the songs, but it
became a proper group thing very quickly with everyone involved having a
big input. It’s that Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Tom
Petty & The Heartbreakers idea.”</i><br />

Jesse Will is an unsigned singer-songwriter from Aukland, New Zealand and describes his style as indie-folk, folk, blues and acoustic. One of his latest songs <b>Mama Say </b>can be found here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jVntB-93UM4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jVntB-93UM4</a> <span class="userContent"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent">Says Jesse on his Facebook page <i>"I can't express how excited I am to share this
with you all. It's a brand new song, my first music video, and a
ridiculous amount of hard work and help from many talented friends went
into producing & recording it, and I'm so eternally grat<span class="text_exposed_show">eful."</span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">The song itself is part of an ep released on 1st March called <i>Hold Your Cards.</i> Last year he was named Roundhead Studios' Songwriter of the year and yesterday he set off to Dublin and from there he will head to London with plans to secure a record deal. He realises it's a risk to choose music as a career and agrees that anyone who does so must be a little crazy. With no guarantee of any kind of financial stability, he says the good thing about the folk scene is that it's really accessible. <i>"Everyone's really friendly and they're keen to hear fresh stuff. You're not going to jeopardise anything because it's just little old you with your guitar." </i></span></span><br />
