BirdieOnly their fourth gig in over ten years, this is going to be very special. The chance to see Debsey Wykes and Paul Kelly on stage as Birdie doesn't come around very often. You can't miss this.

Amor de DiasThe very first Amor de Dias gig with a rhythm section. No ordinary engine room at that: this one numbers Clientele alumni James Hornsey and Howard Monk. Not only that, this is Amor de Dias' only UK gig following the release of their wonderful second album, The House At Sea.

Hacia Dos VeranosLimay is a masterpiece. Don't believe me? Amor de Dias' Alasdair MacLean said: "Their guitarist is a maestro: economical, precise, lyrical. His rolling, arpeggiated style will remind you of Felt’s Maurice Deebank or Vini Reilly, but he also possesses a faint echo of Johnny Marr, in that for all his sense of space and harmony he’s playing tunes first and foremost."

a lovely review of Bolero

yup, the Songs For Girls To Sing blog has reviewed the first single from Limay:

"... it turned out to be mesmerizing. Okay, the exotic name helped too! There’s some exquisite guitar playing there, affecting enough to not even miss or anticipate the vocal to come along."

free single from Hacia Dos Veranos

we thought you might like to hear some previous HITS from the marvellous Hacia Dos Veranos, so here, for your FREE downloading pleasure are Yo La Tenia and Despertar... we asked Ignacio to let us know a little about each track

‘Yo la tenía’ is an ode to those summer mornings in which you wander around the city after a night out under the influence of stuff, and you amaze at the ordinary becoming strange and fantastic. People exercising in the park or waiting for the bus to go to work are suddenly transformed into scenes of disturbing fascination.

‘Despertar’ is the third and last song of our first EP, which is conceived as portraying the three stages of a sleepy afternoon. This track represents the pleasant waking up after the confusion of sleep.
