May Music Selection - 2009
Having failed in April to present any new music recommendations, I will try and make up for that this month, so hopefully this is just part one. I first came across The Mummers late last year, and thought to myself, I must keep an eye on this act, and promptly forgot all about them. To my delight I was reminded with their appearance last month on Later With Jools Holland (BBC2 TV). Since then I have listened to everything available from them, and cannot recommend them highly enough. Fronted by the delightful Raissa (Khan-Panni), and with a superb collection of musicians , I would be surprised and very disappointed if The Mummers do not get much wider recognition this year. From Brighton, England check out The Mummers ! Listen: MP3: March Of The Dawn . Web Link: Official Site , MySpace . Buy: The Mummers Descending Ivory are an three piece all girl group from Uppsala, Sweden, who I discovered through Swedesplease, a site that continues to throw up so many great new and not so new act
