FIFTY3 FRIDAYS: TAKING A BREAK

Today’s Fifty3 Fridays is technically issue no 250. However, it coincides with a decision I have had to take regarding the remainder of 2024 and into the start of the new year.


I’ve decided to pause these regular Friday scribblings until 2025 for personal reasons – nothing untoward; it’s just something I have to do. I have also stepped down as a moderator for Fresh On The Net but again plan to return to that role in the new year, if they will still have me!


For those on Twitter – still don’t call it X [You just did – Ed] – I will still be publishing my Advent Calendar of great songs followed by a Spotify Playlist on Christmas Eve.


To anyone who wants to submit music to Fifty3 Fridays please see the note on the Contact page here.

FIFTY3 champions

outstanding new music

through Fifty3 Fridays and

occasional features 

 

Music is a great passion of mine. In my teenage years I was an avid record collector and concert goer. Stints as a booking agent, running folk clubs, promoting gigs and even a crack at artiste management followed. While it never became my main occupation, music was always on my personal radar.

 

In the past 15 years I have written for leading US music website  Consequence and breakthrough  site, BestNewBands. I am a judge for Glastonbury Festival's Emerging Talent Competition and have reviewed the festival for both sites. I am now pleased to curate my very own music site.

 

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than unearthing great, original new music and championing independent musicians. You’ll find many of them on this site alongside the occasional legend of times past and I hope they will bring  you as much joy as they give me.
