Every week we get to play two tracks for Tom Robinson on his excellent BBC 6 Music Introducing show… you can listen again here.
Abi Wade – Stability
Not only a remarkable voice, also a talented multi-instrumentalist to boot.

Emma Russack – He Was My Family
Another stand out voice to arrive in our inbox – this time from Down Under. Melbourne to be precise – Emma’s debut album Sounds of our City is released on New Zealand indie Spunk Records in February and if this taster is anything to go by it’s a strong introduction to this singer-songwriter.

Her PR says: “Lyrically, Sounds of Our City explores letting go and severing ties, finding one’s place in the world, and wishing you were lying on a beach, cocktail in hand, instead of working at an Italian restaurant during Melbourne’s coldest winter in 50 years.” We’ve all been there honey!
