Top 15!
After a few months of domestic chaos, I finally managed to grab a few moments the other night to get back in front of the computer with making music in mind… and I have to admit I found it a pretty testing experience. What with one thing and another I’ve probably been doing a lot more listening to music than recording or trying to write it over the last few months.
With that in mind, it struck me that now seemed as good a time as any to reflect on the music that I’ve enjoyed in the last 12 months or so. Here’s a top fifteen of my favourites – some old, some new and some that I’ve just rediscovered…
