Writing on the Wall

there are two bands called Writing on the Wall:
1) Writing On the Wall were a psychedelic/progressive rock band from Scotland. They moved to London and became the house band at the Middle Earth club, and later released the Power Of The Picts album in 1970. Original copies of the album are now very valuable, but upon its release many radio stations considered the sound to be too heavy for airplay. 2) Writing on the Wall-Rap Instrumentals. They are fly as fuck.

Bridget St John

If you are reading this while listening to your mp3s, your artist tag is wrong.
The right tag is "Bridget St. John". On the original vinyl copy of "Songs For The Gentle Man, her name is Bridget St John on the cover and Bridget St. John on the label. Wikipedia refers to her as Bridget St John, and this is also the name that appears on her songs when they are downloaded from iTunes. Cherry Red Records, who have re-released her original recordings for Dandelion, also refer to her as Bridget St John.

Georgia Potter

Georgia is an advocate for music with a social conscience. An alert listener of music, politics and people, Georgia has developed a calling to use music for social awareness: as a public voice with a positive social conscience, as a politician without the tie or the hidden agenda, as a woman with a whole lot of love, and as a human being with a few stories to tell. Aided by her piano which doubles as a family heirloom, the bashed up Suzuki guitar she learnt on, and her glistening new classical semi-acoustic, Georgia writes most solo, however is currently working on some new projects.
