La Blogothèque The Pasadena Roof Orchestra American reviewer Scott Yanow wrote “The Pasadena Roof Orchestra presents a fun concert, with the emphasis on hot dance tunes of the era. The authentic sound of the band, the superior repertoire, and some inspired humour make this a fun show.” “There would be dancing to a very high standard to the 20’s and 30’s sound of the Pasadena Roof Orchestra, until a Scott Fitzgerald dawn touched the windows”
Serge Gainsbourg: Filthy French - Features - Music And now, the 15th anniversary is upon us, Gainsbourg's myth has continued to grow and the tributes are blooming. But this time, the British are in the vanguard. A new album, Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited, features the maestro's work, translated into English, performed by a couple of dozen choice members of the UK and US music scenes, and the flagship French Gainsbourg TV show broadcast last month was devoted largely to these performers. Along with Gainsbourg contemporaries such as Birkin, Marianne Faithfull and Françoise Hardy, a new crop of Gainsbourgians - Franz Ferdinand, Placebo, Tricky, Jarvis Cocker - was in the studio to testify to the unshaven anti-hero's greatness, and to comment, almost without exception, that their first experience of his music was that number, you know, with the girl moaning, "Je T'Aime". If nothing else, the new CD advances the reading of the celebrated "Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus".

Alex Ross: The Rest Is Noise Mander Organs Noel Mander started working on his own account in organ building in 1936. His lineage can be traced back to the 18th century organ builder, George Pike England. Following a break during the war years, the firm moved into its current premises in the east end of London in 1947. Here was a Victorian school, which had been closed down before the war and belonged to the London Diocese. After the war, when rationing and shortage of materials ruled the day, he worked closely with London Diocese to rescue organs from damaged churches and to provide rebuilt churches with instruments at reasonable cost in spite of the stringent times.

Music Venue Trust What is The Music Venue Trust? The Music Venue Trust was created in January 2014 to protect the UK live music network. Its immediate focus is on securing the long term future of the grassroots iconic venues which make up the ‘toilet circuit’ (e.g. Southampton Joiners, Tunbridge Wells Forum, The 100 Club, Exeter Cavern, Hull Adelphi, Manchester Band on the Wall etc.) These venues have played a crucial role in the development of British music over the last 40 years, nurturing local talent, providing a platform for artists to build their careers and develop their music and their performance skills.
