Folk trio The Lost Trades have been described as a Wiltshire Supergroup, in the style of Crosby, Stills and Nash, and their latest single “Distance Brings Us Closer” highlights the magic that three voices in harmony can conjure.

Album - Hoopy Frood - Affirmations

It’s been over ten years since their last album “Indigo”. The band has evolved in that time with new members and years of playing live together. Musically, “Affirmations” is intended to capture that full band sound that they have been working on over the years, incorporating live drums this time and built around ideas and jam sessions that they kept coming back to. Lyrical ideas were spontaneous; they had no intention of delivering a theme or a story but now they have completed the project it appears that they have some positive messages to share, hence the album title. As is their way, “Affirmations” is a blend of live instruments/vocal with synths, sequencers and samples. They leave it to you to decide on its genre!

Following a rather successful 2020 with a lot of interest and airplay for his song “God Bless the NHS#2”, singer/songwriter Mark Handley kicks off 2021 with a new album called “Bedtime Blues. As usual with many of Mark’s songs, they are very much about the lyrics, and his choosing the right words to perfectly capture his emotions, often with a wonderful twist of irony or humour to reveal some hidden, or naked truth. At times it might seem like the Bone Idols are more a pool of musicians rather than a band with a steady line up, but he has certainly chosen the right ones here, to compliment and bring this collection of songs to life.
