Frank Hamilton & #OneSongAWeek

So, Frank Hamilton has been releasing ONE SONG A WEEK for the whole of 2012. It's a ridiculous yet ambitious project that has seen him collaborate with Lauren Aquilina, Ryan Keen, Dion Dubion (ex-Premier League and England footballer), Mark Grist (of student v teacher rap battle fame) and a whole host of other UK musicians.

Week 47 of the project was released today a long with the usual weekly blog ( http://frankhamiltonband.wordpress.com/2012/11/23/week-47-wet-shoes/ ), and a video which you can see below. It's a tune called "Wet Shoes" which Hamilton co-wrote with Ed Sheeran who he cites as his inspiration and the "kick up the arse" he needed to prove "anything's possible".

It's a truly brilliant song and having followed the project very closely all year, can only say how sad it will be to have the constant stream of new content cease once we get into the new year. 2012 has been a special year for many reasons and this is certainly one of them.

New Music: David McCaffrey


David McCaffrey
 - "Your Old Ways"

I heard this track a month ago or so and quite liked it. Went back today and I haven't been able to stop listening to it all morning... David McCaffrey is a young singer/songwriter from York and this is a beautiful track. Certainly one to watch.
