A double CD launch night, Italian/French act Grimoon are also cracking a bottle of champagne over their new one, Le Dserteur,
Canada’s Great Lake Swimmers lead by Tony Dekker have been credited as bringing indie-folk back to it’s roots, taking the pop out of the equation and hopefully bringing listeners back to music that they’ll actually still be listening to ten years from now. Whether that’s actually evident to the unwashed masses or not is a
