You’re in My Head is the up-and-coming debut album release by emerging girl group One Sixth Of Tommy. This trio of ethereal, budding beauties hail from Stourbridge in the Midlands, and through their new album they have created a natural, comely style of music that well replicates their humble, quasi-rural…
Read More**** Once you get over the initial conundrum that this particular CD presents (who is Tommy and what happened to the other five sixths?) it is difficult not to enjoy this album. The female trio create a mellow innocent, and at times haunting sound; distinctively British and youthful. It is…
Read MoreLiam Blake takes a folk-pop approach to his singer-songwriter material. There is also a lush quality to the pop, but it is on the lighter side. The opening cut “For Your Sake” works best for me with its quivering vocals and thoughtful melody. However, things are a little safe thereafter…
Read MoreGeorge O’Brien has a touch of Will Young about him according to one of the audience at the Vane Tempest Sessions. If they mean the Home Counties-twang he sometimes makes when hitting high notes then yes, we can hear it. That’s not the sound of Will Young, though, it’s Daniel…
Read MoreThis Thursday, Sheffield gets its own dose of London folk delivered from the up and coming Sam Brookes. His single In Weeks feels like a delightful crossover of bluegrass American country and something essentially English. He delivers a soaring folk sound, with beautifully delicate finger-picking guitar, and his sharp, rich…
Read MoreOne Sixth Of Tommy’s -Everything’s OK What with the UK experiencing some amazing (but rather late) sunny weather this week, chances are you’ve been wanting to spend as much time as possible outside. It’s a kind of force of nature, that unstoppable urge to soak up the rays, and if…

Read More* * * There are so many young troubadours out there called Sam, I’m getting confused: Sam Carter, Sam Sallon, Sam Lee, Sam Walter… and now Sam Brookes. I’m happy to report that Brookes can hold his own against all namesakes. After leaving school he qualified as a gilder in…
Read MoreLIAM BLAKE – Performance Café – 1:00pm This was one of the sets I’d most wanted to see at Greenbelt. Those who’ve so far heard it are of one voice in proclaiming Liam’s ‘You And Other Stories’ one of the best albums of the year and all that was left…
Read MoreIt’s not everyday you attend a weekend music workshop at school and the next thing you know you’re signed to Helium records. Except if you’re the teen trio One Sixth of Tommy. The three ladies, Jordan, Joanna and Jorja, have been busy as of late – with performances at this…
Read More7/10 It’s astonishing how young and talented some bands can be on their first record, especially when they seem to come out of nowhere. One Sixth of Tommy are made up of three girls who are all about to reach the age of 20: Jordan Martin (vocals, guitar) Jorja Bates…
