Every week TOW plays two songs for the brilliant Tom Robinson on his BBC 6 Music Introducing show… here are our picks from this week’s show:
First off TOW just has to say how excited we are that Emily and the Woods has agreed to support Madam at The Horatia on 30 April, we CANNOT wait to see her live! Emily plays guitar and sings, supported by ‘The Woods’ – ie her Dad, who has been a musician full time for 30 years, and her brother. Emily started playing and writing in her late teens, inspired by a solid roster of folk talent: Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and Simon & Garfunkel. A recent Philosophy and Theology graduate from Exeter University, you can hear the influence of her studies in her lyrics… this tune she wrote for a friend who passed away and it gives us goosebumps everytime we hear it.
The Werewanda’s – My Little Sister
The Werewandas have a fantastic sense of fun and it comes across in the tight little 60’s-infused rock numbers they knock out. Also, TOW is biased as one of our favourite people is in the band – Delia Sparrow from The Lexington, well, you could argue she IS The Lexington and often our Girl About Town on the podcast… she’s on guitar and you can hear her doing a fine job backing up ‘Heavy Metal Lucy’ on vocals…
