New British Music Recommendations including Dornik,Michelle O'Faith,Willow Robinson.....and Mick Clark & Alan McGee

Greetings....apologies for the delay but I've been meditating on the meaning of life....I concluded it's a combination of music,football and girls......but I've never been able to meditate as I have washing machine head....I just get my brain to go quiet then " Take That To The Bank " by Shalamar comes on in my head

This week I'm going to tell you about 3 young British artists I rate very highly.....artists that I believe have exceptional talent.......I'm also going to tell you something about 2 of the greatest A&R men this country has Produced...one Soul,Dance and Electronic....the other the greatest rock A&R this country has produced

Dornik has been described as " South London's answer to Frank Ocean " by none less than The Guardian.....this track shows why

 " Drive "is taken from his recently released album.....Dornik
Starting out as Jesse Ware's drummer Dornik has created a brilliant modern British Soul album full of great songs beautifully presented.....I love the album's fresh original approach...not the standard generic music that the industry churns out week after week.....
It's a much better album than Jesse Ware's ....HIGHLY RECOMENDED

I wrote about Michelle O'Faith's first single a few months ago....a unique single that sounded like a contemporary Kate Bush with it's great lyrics and outstanding vocals....well she's back with another track that is every bit as good if not better.....White Lies Red Wine ...what a great title !

It's genius.....I signed innovative artists who didn't worry about defying convention,they just made music that they knew was special....Michelle does that...I think she will be HUGE

Another new artist that I predict will have a long and very successful career is Willow Robinson...his Dad wrote Withnail & I ...true ! ! I can't be too specific right now but I have to declare a personal interest in Willow....21 years old....great songwriter,fabulous guitarist with a voice reminiscent of the great Paul Rodgers of Free and Bad Company fame......he's been recording with the legend that is Youth and reactions are brilliant...hopefully he will have his first EP out early 2016

Finally the great A&R men are Mick Clark ( aka The Soul Guru ) and the legendary Alan McGee...we are both exceptional A&R who recognise,sign,develop and support artists who make outstanding music.....our skills are not diminished by age....we make GREAT records.....look out for an announcement soon......don't call it a comeback
