The Brilliant Corners

At long last a band is being recognised for the influence it has had without the commercial acclaim that some of their songs deserved.
This seminal Bristol band consisted of a nucleus of Chris Galvin (bass) and David Woodward (vocals and guitars) with Bob Morris (drums) plus various others during their ten years of existence.
Through various styles they created a unique Bristol slant on the 80's which was never deemed glamorous by the press or music gliterrati in general. Some may say that the Bristol scene was insular but it was really about being yourself and getting on with things.

3 Storeys High

This is a review on the old 3 storeys high album 3 Storeys High - When The Words Won't Come
Reviewed: 5th November 2005 This CD has been sat with me for a few weeks now, whilst people pile all sorts of crap on my desk, and I tend to direct it towards the nearest dustbin, this is one of the few CDs Ive had to review in about 6 months which is worth far more than a place in someones CD rack, clocking up the occasional listen, let alone, my computer desk.

Tasha Pyne

Blessed with stunning looks, unique style and a beautiful soothing voice, 16-year-old singer/songwriter has a very bright future ahead of her.
Tasha was born and raised in a very rural village called Strumpshaw in Norfolk, in a converted Victorian school. She started dancing and performing lessons from a young age. It wasn’t until a few years ago where she performed at her Dads 40th birthday party where she really discovered her talents and passion for singing more than dancing.
