Rise Up Rise Up
by The Owl Service
supported by 5 fans who also own “Hey Hey Hippy Witch”
'Owl Service' never cease to amaze me with their ability to sound fragile, "scuzzy", otherworldly, and intimate: the album sounds effortless, songs are timeless and ... beautifully sung -especially Diana Collier!!

Are You Sure I Was There?
by The Left Outsides
supported by 4 fans who also own “Hey Hey Hippy Witch”
Beautiful British psych/folk, with dueling male/female vocals, a bit like Fairport Convention. A great record to play on these gray winter days.
