Musical Highlights of the year:2022

 

 

2022 has been a particularly cruel year, post pandemic with a spiralling cost of living crisis,we've had 3 different governments and 3 different prime ministers, it seems Great Britain is not so great anymore.
On top of this so many brilliant people taken from us..Unfortunately we lost  Pharoah Sanders, Nik Turner, Wilko Johnson. Keith Levene, Mark Astronaut, Christine McVie,.Angelo Badalamenti, D.H. Peligri,Terry Hall. and Martin Duffy to name a few.
To honor these musical geniuses' inspirational legacies,let's continue listening to their incredible music and keeping their influence alive. 
Times ahead are going to be hard. As we ride these storms together lets be reminded of people like the individuals mentioned and of music’s ability to stir us, allowing us to forge further connections to ourselves and each other. 
However you spend or celebrate this time of year, power to the music and the people that make it. Lets  try and support local music venues and appreciate their intrinsic value. Music and the places where it is performed can be balms that can brings us together as we face the challenges  ahead.
Bandcamp an artist-focussed platform continues to allow us to support our favorite musicians and labels that enrich our lives and is a good place to discover 
In a year of reflection, music stretched and relocated in often unpredictable ways.In no particular order here are my musical highlights of the year that have really enjoyed, that include some reissues,here;s to better days ahead. Happy yule. winter solstice. Heddwch/Peace :-
