SPEAKER_01 11:10

It is out this Friday, the 10th of April. The band worked with Mike Juice, who is the producer that they work with on their track called Know That You Are Home. The single is about being caught in the middle and throwing everything you can at the situation to make it work whilst everyday chaos, doubt, and debris still surrounds you. It's the first track from the band's upcoming EP. They have more news on that coming soon. And they are playing a gig in Cambridge and the Fallen Arms. I mentioned this last week, I mentioned it again on the 25th of April. Uh Saturday, the 25th of April, if you fancy going along to that. Now new Music sentences inboxed and eMusicGenerated.com from a band that first formed in 2018. We first played them in 2020 when they took our in Very Found for the first time that year. They've broken up and they've come back um ad hoc every now and again, and now they're back properly with the first new release um in a number of years. And just looking back at the first time they got in touch with us back in 2020, and they sent a promotional photo, and there's only one member of that original lineup still in the band. Um this is Brazen Bull from Barrison Edmonds, and this is their first new release in quite some time. I want to say at least three years. Uh, this is falling from Brazen Bull, and it is available now.

SPEAKER_02 13:10

See the fires are burning alive in the light, and it's getting too brown there. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:07

Um, but uh I won't do that. Uh that track, if you have seen Brazen Bull play live, and they have reformed a few times on sort of a one-off occasion, that's been in their live set for a while, I think. Um but they've recorded it now, and they're back uh with uh the origin one original member from the band. Um Alex, the vocalist, has been there for quite a while. Uh Tom is uh the newbie, uh one of the newbies on the scene on the drums. And as I say, that's available now for you to go and stream. Uh here's another track from last week's show that we debuted for the first time. This is also out now from NMG Award-winning 18 and underband Mirada. Really, really loved their um first single that they played us. Um last summer that we first started playing that. And this is finally the overdue follow-up, also a Jake Day, North Acre Studio production. This is called Back to You.

SPEAKER_05 18:17

We could have had it all, we didn't feel cool, we didn't feel love us through the door. Remember when you waited outside my house You look something in your shrug, cigarette eat a black Music, we listen to it back, calling back to black. Remember when the real play the crack Ooh, whoa And yeah, I know now Let's get it back together, back together We're getting back together, back together With you Have to think about you listen your piano thing in my head I could have sung along, can you tell me what went wrong? I could have never had to write this song.

SPEAKER_01 20:46

Uh the band are fifteen, sixteen years old, and you can hardly believe it when you listen to that track. As I say, it's available now if you want to go and find it. Um pretty much every week on the show we hear from a brand new act that we've never heard from before. And now it's time to be introduced to those because this is a band that go by the name of the Pomegranate. Let me read you the email that was sent in to us by the pomegranate. Uh, if you want to send in your music, then you can do so. Inbox at new musicgenerator.com. Hello, NMG. We are emailing to let you know about our newest song called Worth It. And would love it if you would give it a listen. As a local band, brackets just outside Ipswitch. We know that sharing our music to people in the local community is one of the best actions we can take to push ourselves out there. I've attached a new file of the song that you can find on any streaming service that you may use. Please let us let us know if you listen to the song. Any feedback is more than appreciated. Well, I've not listened to it yet, but I'm gonna listen to it now. Inspired by a late nineties post grunge, this track attempts to convey the emotion of recovering from a disheartening summer. The song was written by Ben from the band to respond and recoup to some teenage heartbreak. So, with an appropriate amount of teenage angst to match. Written in his bedroom, then recorded in the back garden studio down the road a few months later, the band were desperate to get their song heard, so they seem, as they seem to think, that they might be on to a winner. Well let's see, shall we? Ben from the pomegranate, so you're on to a winner. Let's have a listen to your song for the first time. This is called Worth It.

SPEAKER_18 22:29

Oh, you think you're so special, but it's me you decide. You may not be right for me, but I thought to make my way back. There's no help from you and the eyes that you choose But I think I can see our future now. So we're eyes, together, we're alive. So we are still getting a flop. But we'll act like we're fine. Cause we know how it feels, it feels if we start to fight, so we'll just pretend Don't wanna see through to the end.

SPEAKER_06 24:31

But I think I can see our future now So we don't fall so that the memory that is worth it by the pomegranate.

SPEAKER_01 27:07

Oh, hello, there's a bit on the end there. Bit of talking, I missed that. Sorry, ever so sorry if I'd spoke over you. Uh worth it by the pomegranates. I was just looking for their social media, but I'm struggling to find anything. Uh didn't actually send me any more information, unfortunately. So, Ben from the Pomegranates, email me back, let me know your social media handles. Um and I also realize that I was struggling with the spelling the word pomegranate, so hopefully I spelt it correctly on the uh on the little ticker there. Um very good. Like it. I don't know if that's your first release. I'm kind of getting the int impression that it is, um, being that this is uh almost like a demo recording that you're so excited to release.

SPEAKER_01 37:37

Now uh we've been Oh, excuse me. That's an edit we need to make. Um we've you have been watching and listening to this show on a live stream for the last couple of months, nearly a couple of months, and um as we all know, it's been well documented circumstances meant that we uh that we moved homes, and here we are, and quite frankly, we're uh we're happier and better off uh for the situation that we found ourselves in. And as uh as the old saying goes in life, when one door closes, another door opens, and in this case, multiple doors have opened, and you'll find out um what's behind some of those other doors in the next few weeks as we go through and announce some more exciting things. But I am joined by a co-host today on the show, um, who is is here um because they're gonna be the next person to create content for the new music generator. It's not, I've always said, it's not just gonna be this show, it's not just gonna be me. There will be other people coming in and joining me and doing the show. And that person, fanfare, I need to make sure I un unmute their microphone as well, that would be a good hell, wouldn't it? Fanfare, everybody, is Alex Elbro.

SPEAKER_00 38:55

Hello, everybody. Can you hear me? Hello, Alex Elbro. Hello, Tim Willet, how are you? I'm very well. It's very lovely to be here today. Welcome. Thank you very much. I'm very much looking forward to being part of the team. Are you comfortable over there? I'm very comfortable. I'm uh it's a very wheelie chair though, so it's if I move too much, I'll go flying out the door. So if something disappear under the desk, you know what that is.

SPEAKER_01 39:19

Now you're not really a stranger to NMG because you have presented the show before when I've been away on holiday.

SPEAKER_00 39:25

Yeah, when you've been having a lovely old time in America.

SPEAKER_01 39:29

You've covered for me. Yes, I have.

SPEAKER_00 39:31

And actually for Rebecca.

SPEAKER_01 39:33

And for Rebecca. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00 39:34

She was back in the day.

SPEAKER_01 39:35

Um and you used to sit in on my shows back in the day. We did when we did the when we did radio together.

SPEAKER_00 39:41

We did have a lovely time, didn't we? Well I certainly did. I don't know about you.

SPEAKER_01 39:44

No, no, I did as well. Um But here you are.

SPEAKER_00 39:48

I am.

SPEAKER_01 39:49

So I think it's fair to say, to use an old football analogy, we've signed Alex on a free transfer. Uh she was available, and we snapped her right up. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 39:59

Well, you know, time for change and all that stuff, you know. Um I'm not somebody that sits still very long. You are not. Uh I like lots doing lots of things, lots of creative things. And I've had this idea for this podcast for many, many years, and I've talked to you about it lots of times. I've not never actually got round to doing anything. But I decided it was time for a um a reboot of me. And a reboot of um not not literally, but a reboot of what I'm doing. And I really wanted to get more involved with the musicians I love and want to talk to them, find out more about what they're doing. Am I giving them way too much already?

SPEAKER_01 40:37

Well, uh you a little bit.

SPEAKER_00 40:39

Okay, I'll c I'll keep quiet now.

SPEAKER_01 40:40

So, as I say, Alex Alex is is the next person that's gonna be contributing content to NMG. And the way that we're gonna take this going forward is that the YouTube channel is gonna become a hub of content, and you're gonna see lots of different types of programming on there, from this kind of type of show, sort of radio-based programming, where we play lots of music and play videos and stuff, to um live concert stuff and live um in-session stuff. Um, but also what Alex is gonna be doing, which is a new programme which is called Behind the Music. Behind the Music. And it's an interview-based series where Alex will be welcoming a different guest into her living room, your actual living room.

SPEAKER_00 41:22

My actual living room.

SPEAKER_01 41:23

Each week or each programme.

SPEAKER_00 41:25

I'll be over in the room. No, you won't be here.

SPEAKER_01 41:27

No. Um you'll be in your own living room, and um you're basically gonna find out all about them and their musical lives.

SPEAKER_00 41:36

Yeah. What what what brought them to music, why they felt drawn to it, what they've done, what their influences are, you know, all that sort of thing. You know, getting a real in-depth uh thing of what what makes their music and what makes them tick, really.

SPEAKER_01 41:50

And you're quite an inquisitive person, so you like to know about people and ask lots of questions.

SPEAKER_00 41:56

Yes. I mean, some might call that nosy. I call it curious.

SPEAKER_01 42:00

Curious.

SPEAKER_00 42:01

I'm very curious, and I am very curious, and uh it's all genuine, honestly. Um I love hearing about people and how they got started and how they've ended up and the twists and turns of life and how the you're just saying about one door closing, another door opening. Sometimes things get put in your way and some things happen, and the music changes, the band changes, life changes, whatever. You know, all these things add to your person, don't they? And what makes you so good at you know the music you play.

SPEAKER_01 42:30

Yeah. So we can't tell you at the moment anything about who the guests are going to be because that's all still in the works. But we uh we will tell you that the programme is scheduled to begin next month in May. But more details on uh when it will start and the dates the day it will go out and the guests will be coming soon. Some of your guests might be doing a little acoustic number for you.

SPEAKER_00 42:52

I was just gonna say we are um hoping that some might want to do some acoustic stuff and we'll also play some of their music as well. And then maybe we'll be able to talk about you know the stories behind some of them. I know some people don't like to give too much away about my different imagination, but you know, there are reasons why people do go in certain directions, for instance.

SPEAKER_01 43:15

Yeah. I think it's gonna be good. Yeah, I hope so. You're you're looking forward to it.

SPEAKER_00 43:19

I am very much looking forward to it. It's a new um yeah, new way of doing things, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 43:25

Yeah. I think having the time we've got a YouTube channel, we can do what we like without any restrictions on how long it's gonna how long the program's gonna be, who we who we have on, where they're from. Um and so I think yeah, we're we're we've we've kind of Cherry picked a short list of the first the first series, first six episodes, and uh feelers are about to go out to uh to people. Now this news is out. And um I'm sure I'm sure they'll all want to come on.

SPEAKER_00 43:56

Also and I think we it's probably obvious, but maybe not, and maybe not be for people listening in audio that it will be visualised as well. So although it's sitting in my living room, it's not just sitting at studio. It will be um we're we're doing the whole thing like like you do here. Yeah. Filming it all.

SPEAKER_01 44:12

And that's something new for you as well, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 44:14

Oh yeah. And it's uh certainly interesting already trying to set it all up and you know we we've had a few dry runs and uh yeah you certainly learn a different few different things from uh just doing audio. That should be fun. That should be a challenge.

SPEAKER_01 44:28

It gives you more things to think about. It does. As you say, uh you you've told me some stories I've been along and we've done a we've done a test. It's you've been moving your furniture around and realizing that things don't work in certain places or the sun shines through the window too much at a certain time of day. But uh you know all these all these things will be uh will be rectified. But it's important to say that that part of the reason why we're doing it in your living room is because you are a very musical family. Your hus your husband plays instruments. Yeah he plays guitar in bands your son was in a Cambridge several Cambridge bands.

SPEAKER_00 45:03

Yeah one of my sons one of your sons well one of my sons plays drums and uh well now plays bass and other stuff. Yeah and in in a Cambridge band which I can go on to a bit later and then the other one also plays er guitar and piano.

SPEAKER_01 45:18

Okay. So yeah. So you are a very musical family. You you have just started recently writing your own music and um getting yourself out there to be a little bit more than a little bit of sending you fun challenge exactly.

SPEAKER_00 45:29

I've always loved singing and where they all play stuff I've always been the one that wants to sing um but I've not really done it for some reason. I don't really know why. And started doing songwriting absolutely love it. And that's another thing I'm going to be doing. I'll be picking all the brains of everyone that comes in. Not really, don't worry but um when you write a song with me. Yeah exactly hello and do you need someone to help you but I you know listening to other musicians and how they've got to places is a brilliant way to find out about the pros and cons of doing stuff.

SPEAKER_01 46:02

Yeah certainly so your living room has got lots of has you've got a piano in your living room you've got lots of um amps for guitars and you know what also I think we've got we've got stuff but I don't even know who they are.

SPEAKER_00 46:16

I don't we've got amps we've got guitars we've got many guitars my husband and my husband's saying is you can never have too many guitars apparently um right so you know we ha we have got guitars, amps we've got an accordion there somewhere which um we came by we've got a baron um which you know like an Irish drum.

SPEAKER_01 46:36

Right.

SPEAKER_00 46:36

I haven't tried I have tried playing it but I not don't play it properly. I'm sure we've got a few other things knocking around there.

SPEAKER_01 46:44

So there you'll see some of those in the background of the uh the various different um shows that Alex is going to be uh going to be doing um we'll talk more about you and your interest in music and where it all kind of started because you have been interested in music since a very young age going to music and you still go to gigs and some sometimes you're out pretty much every night of the week aren't you? But before we do let's play a song we you've chosen to play a track by Los Robbins um which is Josh Robbins project. Now I first met Josh when he was in um a heavy rock band as a teenager in Cambridge. Excellent I can't remember what the name of the band was off the top of my head now but he was what he was the band were one of the you know the big fiver night bands when I started doing this show fifteen years ago. And then he very much changed and he's gone down the the coat the country and the folk route now.

SPEAKER_07 47:38

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 47:38

Um and so the reason you've chosen this is because you went to his gig recently?

SPEAKER_00 47:43

Yeah so um I've known Josh for quite a long time I would say since uh just before lockdown ish, um the mar when he was in the Marblers. Um and like you said that was very much more of a folk um influence but a folk rock kind of feel um then they all went their own ways long not that long after uh COVID I think and he's been doing his own solo stuff as Josh Robbins. I've I have uh interviewed him a few times but not um in a long way so so I he will be on my list of people to ask because he's had a really interesting way through his music and um he's last year he formed Lost Robbins and um they played a gig last week was the first one in Cambridge for since that one last year. So he's been travelling around Europe for a long time doesn't he? Yeah yeah and unfortunately one that keeps breaking down by the sound of it. So he hasn't had much luck with that recently but he is back and he played at the Girl Tart last week in Cambridge if anyone knows that. Supported by Melody Coles and Brian Corston and Ezio. So it was a real kind of mix of um eras of of music in there. And Brian was saying that when he was in Shave the Monkey which is a very old Cambridge band uh their last gig was uh the Girl Tart. So that's uh a great um full circle but they were they again brought the house down they absolutely brilliant they asked me to compare the night which was hilarious because I obviously hadn't I was sitting down having a drink and they said will you come and do that so I don't think I particularly added anything to it part no but but you know it's just to be asked. But they are a brilliant band to watch.

SPEAKER_01 49:28

Alright let's hear this then this is Lost Robinson It's been raining tomorrow No tear I cannot try No tear I cannot try that's It's Been Raining by Lost Robins most recent release from the band Alex uh was that the gig in Cambridge a week or so ago as the last minute compare on the stage. Yeah. It's not the only thing you compare is it?

SPEAKER_00 53:34

Well I've been a bit busy comparing recently so um well you know I've I've done various little bits but a while ago well the last folk festival that was Cambridge Folk Festival that was run um that was two years ago now wasn't it um someone was ill and uh someone said to me Would you um mind doing some of the comparing at the den? And I jumped at the chance because that's where all the new um bands go to uh and there was another because there was two of us and we alternated it um it was such a good thing to do. I absolutely loved it met so many great musicians um some from this area um and of course obviously the names have escaped me now uh and then others from um all over the country that were were playing there. Um the Deep Blue um I'm gonna say they're not from around here but they are ones to watch because they won the Christian Raphael Prize eventually and they were brilliant. And they've been touring with the Waterboys this year and all sorts of stuff. And yeah so that that was what that led on to last year being asked to um compare for the folk in the city which was the alternative to um the folk festival last year so it was a one day at Cherry Hinton Hall um and then asked to compare for the launch which was for anyone that bought tickets for the folk festival. They did a big launch free night for them at the junction. We had Lizzie Hardman there, Chris Fox and then the Noble Jacks who I think were down from Bristol or somewhere they were really fun. And then on the Folk in the city day which was great because it was a free event and it meant that lots of people that don't normally go to the folk festival got a chance to see what it was really like and I think everyone really enjoyed it. There was a they were trying to do like a record breaking Cayley I think they had about 500 I mean I'm saying a number it could have been a thousand I have no idea doing it all doing the Cayley at the same time. But John Bowden played uh Catherine Pretty played um Shauna Hanrahan um yeah it was really fun. Brilliant and so yeah I I enjoy doing that. I enjoy meeting all the people I did out of the ordinary festival last year both days for all the new musicians that were on there as well.

SPEAKER_01 55:51

We did the big weekend together?

SPEAKER_00 55:53

We did that was fun wasn't a few years ago now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 55:55

That was the last big weekend that happened wasn't it before that got canceled.

SPEAKER_00 55:59

And it wasn't our fault I'm gonna say I'm sure it wasn't just they were like their rubbish get them off.

SPEAKER_01 56:04

But um but yeah that was fun. So yeah so we're very good friends off off air. Yes. And I think one of the things that's kind of um brought us together as good friends is our mutual love of music. Absolutely we go to gigs I don't go to get anywhere near as many gigs as you do. I know but we do go to some gigs together.

SPEAKER_00 56:22

We do we do we go to gigs we go to musical theatre things together. We do yeah yeah um we go to all sorts together don't we?

SPEAKER_01 56:30

We do we do.

SPEAKER_00 56:31

But um yeah well I've I've loved doing live music I loved doing I've loved watching live music ever since I can like remember as a teenager. Um so I I grew up in London and you know you realise that how spoiled you were in London. Yeah and I used to go to school in Hammersmith and we had the Hammersmith Odeon which is now the Apollo So that was like our local place to get gigs and you just go on queue for tickets you know go to the box office. There was no I don't think you even rang in for them then. And then there was Hammersmith Palais which doesn't exist anymore as in the Clash song. And used to go to those um Saturday morning we were talking about this earlier Saturday morning madness was one of the first things I remember. So it's so when madness started going I think they probably they wanted to do some safer gigs for younger people and I think it was only 14 or 15 at that point. And so they did this thing at House with Odium which was Saturday morning hence hence the name like 10 o'clock till 12 or something so um that was quite fun. And then just went to all the adult gigs.

SPEAKER_01 57:41

Those sorts of daytime gigs and club nights and things are back in fashion again now aren't they? But for older people they're the people that went to them when they're gonna be a little bit more I know for the for the ones that don't want to be up late I do like the idea of those.

SPEAKER_00 57:52

Oh honestly a an early gig that's nice nice isn't it why do not so I'm gonna call out this why do not more bands start earlier and finish earlier. Yeah it it makes so much sense especially if you're travelling when I I used to go to a lot of gigs in London I don't go to so many now because it's just too stressful trying to get back on public transport.

SPEAKER_01 58:13

Um the last train.

SPEAKER_00 58:15

Yeah yeah and you always just you don't enjoy you you know it's talking about being the moment yeah you're like don't go on too long don't give me too much value for my money. I went to see Crowded House a few years ago down at the roundhouse in London and I've been looking forward to it for years. I loved Crowded House when they were around and they reformed and then um as soon as I got tickets I was absolutely joyed and then my husband was ill so I but I've got a friend to come we were all excited and they came on so late and it was a Sunday so they had no excuse for coming on late. They came on so late we had to miss the whole of the encore to and you're like well it's all right for anyone that lives in London they can just wander about but we had to dart off.

SPEAKER_01 58:55

Yeah no it's a shame. Gutted so memorable gigs you've been to I I've written a few down.

SPEAKER_00 59:00

I mean do you want local ones? Do you want ones from when I was growing up?

SPEAKER_01 59:05

A bit of a bit of everything really right so um well you mentioned we guess go back to when you're growing up so you mentioned madness.

SPEAKER_00 59:12

So madness and then I was quite into um sort of scar and uh um I was gonna say um mods but I wasn't really I wasn't really mod but I was very much into scar stuff so Secret Affair they but they were quite moddy um I remember seeing them at Hamsouth uh Odeon um Gary Newman see I I I I've jumped I do go I do go into different phases so then I went into my new romantic phase um I didn't see Spandal Ballet or Duranda Ran but I was very big fans at that time um and I saw um who did I just say I forgot now Gary Newman Spandal Ballet I loved Gary Newman and I had a black uh boy in a suit with tart black tartan down the side I thought it was the bees knees I loved it and my mum I remember crying because my mum wouldn't let me go to the second night and saying that's not fair you know you wanted to go to the every night. Yeah exactly two nights in a row um then I moved on to people like uh uh well I've seen Prince David Bowie Rolling Stones I have seen quite a lot of the the best that's an impressive list uh Bruce Springsteen back in the day I think it also helped that uh two of my really good friends when I was young uh worked for Island Records they seemed to go into and they fell into those jobs. I don't really know two sisters who I grew up with and we were as close as anything and we did lots of music stuff together. And um so that's how I got to see Bruce Springsteen I think we went to see um I used to get lots of free albums which was like yeah I've got a load of U2 albums which you know some people might say that was whether that's good or not. Waterboys uh were on the the label so we've seen seen Waterboys quite a lot of times. Tape I was a big fan of that was the that subsequently that was when um I was past uni um went to see Topesh Mode.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:13

All of these like in uh lun in London mainly um Tape Mode who else New Order so all of those big names well i I I haven't prepped you for this question but but could you pick off the top of your head one of your favourite gigs that you've ever seen in Cambridge.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:30

Yes well I have written that down well I've not written it down but I've had a look because um there there's so many either a touring band that came to Cambridge or well I mean in the last few years and you know this one but obviously everyone else isn't the self-esteem I saw her at the Corn Exchange a few years ago that's uh Rebecca um Lucy Walker and that blew me away her um show and then I became quite obsessed and I've seen her I think four or five times last year all around the country um and in cabaret which also is handy. Um who else see well back in the day at the Corn Exchange I saw um Aztec camera and uh Deacon Blue there the first time round. I am quite old everybody so those that are not seeing me um uh this is the Kits which who played at the folk festival last a few years ago and I interviewed um Kate who's the um lead singer of of them first aid kit they were another one they absolutely love them and Manic Street Preachers oh and more recently um public service broadcasting they became one of my favourites because I saw them at Corn Exchange twice I think and then I saw them down at the Barbican recently and those are the those sort of gigs where you can feel it in your bones and you can feel it in your stomach oh I just I live for that.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:54

So your introduction to local music when would you say that started in terms of you becoming aware of I mean obviously you uh had a bit of an awareness as of your son being in some bands go you know going along to see him his band play at the Fiverr night and whatever.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:10

Yeah so well before before they were born we we moved to Cambridge and we would see things at the Corn Exchange and then the junction wasn't even built then. So we started seeing stuff at uh J1 when it was sort of the cattle market uh and then when the junction came about we saw you know we went to see lots of things there. Um we are really lucky because it was built we we moved out of central Cambridge to out what we thought was the outskirts but then they built the cattle market and we can walk to the junction from where we live so that does help if you can walk to venues and lots of places used to have live music loads of pubs used to have live music and we used to go to the Geltart quite a lot when we used to live around that way. I don't remember going to the Blue Moon so much then because I don't think there was so much music. We used to go to it but there wasn't live music there. But then like say as the kids grew up were born and then grew up and w and wanted to play music. So my youngest son was in improvise beach party if anyone remembers they won the the Fiverr. I remember and they were in the line with um stayations who then became good health and they've remained friends. You know they're still friends with them now which is really really really lovely and then he went on to uh he was in Boudicca which was one of the names of the band and then the Motor Show which is the more recent band and he's he I think they're still going and I absolutely love them now for for a good night out I absolutely loved that and I think we went to see didn't we we went to see Motor Show we saw them and um and well they were staycations at the time in London yes. That was a really good night I can remember that was somewhere near Whitechapel from memory. And with everything being shut yes it was a Sunday wasn't it was a Sunday yeah it was um well that's that's why I like going to gigs with you because you're if you're up for it and I'm up for it then that's okay you've got two people that want to go if you know so yeah um so other local artists you you like or you've seen? Yeah um well Ellie Dixon she did very well and I think that I met her vaguely f well originally through you from from coming onto your show probably when I was help was sitting in with you doing shows. And then um well Tom Lumley and the Blaiz on as they were that was um Morgan Way is another gig was a year ago just over a year ago end of March wasn't it? Was it only a year ago? Yeah it was what two years ago was it I think it was two years ago it was last year.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:40

Okay Oh I was thinking that was time flew fast if you think it was two years ago it feels like yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:46

Anyway so that's sadly missed. Yeah they that was and it was a that was a great gig wasn't it um and Morganway that was another band that came I came through by they just got their first album and I had sent a press release to ask if Yeah, I feel like it. I could go on, but I think everyone will be asleep one time.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:42

Well, shall we play a track? Yeah. And shall we? I tell you what, I'm gonna play this and we'll the camera will be able to see your reaction when we play this. Because I think you'll enjoy it.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:52

But for those of you who are on the radio, I'll tell you what the song was after we've played it. Um featuring Josh Elbro on the drums.

Uh so Alex is gonna hang around for the rest of the show whilst we uh get through the rest of our playlist today. And this next track is by a band that we both like and we've both seen play live on a couple of occasions at least. This is the new one from Moholland Jive. And the last time I saw Ben Moreholland from Moleholland Jive was at one Alex Elbro's 60th birthday party a few weeks ago, and he came and sat with uh me and Melody. Um hope you're super. He does regularly watch the show as well. Hello, Ben. Um, happy to report I finally have some new Moholland Jive music to share with you. Now that did you know what this is called?

SPEAKER_00 1:13:15

No.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:16

This song is called Jurassic Shark.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:19

Oh yes. Excellent.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:21

It's uh getting released on the 17th of April. It would be lovely if you consider playing it on the show. I've even written a press release. Cambridge-based instrumental funksters, Moholland Jive, return with their brand new single Jurassic Shark, a blast of irresistible dance funk that is the most earwormy of earworms, combining piano, pyrotechnics with screening horns, uh devilish guitarlicks and thunderous drums, Jurassic Shark will raise the roof in a way that only Moholland Jive can. Moholl and Jive are Ben Moholland on piano, Synthson Composer. He is a composer. Uh Steve Achalios. Achilleos, sorry Steve, probably pronounced that wrong, Alto Sacks, Matt Bernie on Tennis Axe, Roger Chinnery on trumpet, Phil Powell on trumpet, Laugh Langer on guitar, and it was mixed and mastered by Jake Day. Yes, Jake Day and North Acre Recording.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:11

This is what I love about Cambridge and the everyone working with each other.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:15

They all collaborate with each other, I know. Exciting, isn't it? So this is out next week, 17th of April. Haven't heard this yet? Let's listen to it together. This is Moholl and Jive and Jurassic Shark. And it is out on the 17th of April. Like that a lot. Uh we've seen Jurassic No, we haven't. We've seen Mole Holland Jive a couple of times, haven't we?

SPEAKER_00 1:17:39

We have. We saw them well the first time I saw them was in uh was it like a a sports.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:45

Commerce and sports centre, yeah. I think that might have been the first time I saw them play live too.

SPEAKER_00 1:17:49

And I'm not sure if it's like.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:50

That was with Dan Bond um supporting, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:17:54

And um because he came up afterwards and was saying, oh, you know, he hadn't done that sort of thing before.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:59

Yeah, it might have been one of the first live shows you did. Well the whole thing started because he's a teacher, music teacher. And it started by him composing some things for his students to copy, I think, or or to do something to do with learning music. And it then they sort of encouraged him to develop it and and it's sort of spiraled since then. Played the Chiltern Jazz Festival a couple of years ago.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:18

I know that's very cool. And he says he he can play loads and loads of tracks on his piano and like get a certain amount of likes, but he's got a keitar.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:26

He does.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:27

And everyone loves the key. And everyone goes wild for that. So uh that just shows you, doesn't it? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:32

And then we saw them a couple of years ago at the John Peel Centre in Stonarket when they were playing alongside Fred's house, yeah. Which was a nice evening.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:40

And I was gonna say that that wasn't a couple of years, that was only last year, but then I see that. No, no, no, no. Your your your recollection of times are not they're all over the place. Yeah, I have a terrible time uh shift at the time.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:51

I I think that was 2023, you know.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:54

Okay. I'm just gonna check my diary because I and then you check do we need to check when Blake Video did their last game.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:01

Oh no, November 24th. So it was a year and a half ago.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:05

Right, that wasn't so far.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:06

No, okay. Anyway. Very good. Now, Gabby Rivers has recently released an EP. She had a launch for it in Norwich, and we are going to play another video from a track that is uh featured on that EP. This is Gabby's track medicine.

SPEAKER_13 1:19:45

God, I've done my stream and child.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:49

I've got the effort, every god, and in my time. It's good as grooming, lost the choice that you've been the wrong thing.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:56

It's not booked. Can you put the effort in for what? All right. Well then, it's because you have the money, but the screws like belonging. I'm being drowned. Oh, do it so uh it's the grievous while you hit them.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:30

So whatever that's the wrong thing, it's a woman.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:08

That's the next song we're gonna play. That's a little preview of Annody's track. Uh Gabby Rivers and Medicine, which you can uh find now. The video is available on YouTube as we've just played it from there. And it's also on her latest EP, Gabby Rivers.

SPEAKER_00 1:22:30

I happened to be in Norwich last year, um and she was playing something I didn't even know uh it was gonna be on because I was just gonna see a friendly walking through the town. And she was uh killed for the afternoon whatever's going on there.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:46

Oh, it wasn't um wild parts, was it?

SPEAKER_00 1:22:50

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:50

Was it like October time last year?

SPEAKER_00 1:22:52

No, it's the middle of the summer. Uh maybe it's an outdoor event then. Oh, it's it's outdoor events. I wasn't expecting it to see a five thing. Yeah, that's great.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:09

Uh Gabby's another one, a bit like Eddie Dixon actually, you've only been around on the scene for a similar length of time. Um I can remember them all being very young of them at the start and still still young.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:20

I can remember them being an MG awards all sitting on a table together. Back in the day. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:27

Gabby's Gabby's been to a lot of uh a lot of awards.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:30

With Claudia Cake as well.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:31

Yeah, yeah. Right, let's move on to this next track, which is from Mike Euden. Um we've played a few tracks from Mike now. Mike is uh Ben from Good Health's Dad. Oh yeah. Yeah. Um and Mike's been playing in bands, um mostly sort of uh covers bands in and around Cambridgeshire. Um but he's recently been working on some of his own material that Ben has been helping him to um record. And we played a track called uh All My Love to You. Uh and then we followed that up by playing a track uh a month or so ago called Happy Birthday to Me, which is obviously a song that he wrote about his birthday and wishing himself happy birthday. Um and uh he's been back in touch again. Hi Tim, I'm writing first of all to say a huge thank you for playing one of my previous tracks, or both of my previous tracks. The support and encouragement you're I'm I'm generally reading this from an email, by the way. I'm not just writing this myself to make myself sound like a big big egomaniac. The support and encouragement you give me and other local artists in the East Anglian region is invaluable, and I've become a regular listener to your Wednesday night show and really enjoy the variety of music you play. I didn't realise you also play videos. This is a new thing, Mike, since we started on YouTube. We can play music videos. So that's your next challenge, is to do a video. Secondly, I'd love to submit my latest single called Love More Than Anything. It's a classic rock anthem that mixes Beatles inspired harmonies and classic callbacks with a bluesy sly guitar motif that runs through the track, giving it a warm, soulful edge. This is the final piece of my three-track session I recorded in my Cambridge flat with my son Ben, staycation slash good health, and a little hand feed fame. I wrote this track following the end of my first marriage, as an honest look at the despair I felt after my divorce, and is dedicated to anyone who has suffered the devastation of a broken heart. Ultimately, it's an optimistic song about recovery, an upbeat pop song with a soulful twist. It explores the realisation that in the end love is the only thing that holds everything together. Mike is performing, uh or was performing, because I haven't got to this in time unfortunately, at the Town and Gown on Easter Sunday. Uh so I hope that was a good night for you. He's also just recently played at the Grapes in Cambridge. Um Eddie Rimmer of Little Hand Feats helped put the bass lines onto this uh track. The live drums recorded by Ben at the Trideraton Village Hall. And the rest of it was recorded in Mike's flat. Mike Udin Music, uh uh Udin spelled U-D-I-N, if you want to go and find him on Instagram. He has a U Instagram handle. I'll have to go and follow you there, Mike. I'll do that in a second. Let's have a listen to this track then. This is new from Mike. This is called Love More Than Anything.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:10

Gotta try a little, maybe die a little. Kick the pieces till you got no trace. There's a man with a gun in his hand. Going crazy, cause he can't understand. I'm a man with my heart on my sleep. Bring my heart. I heard enough, need a need of love more than anything. Love more than anything. I mean love more than anything. I need love more than anything. I've been lonely, but I only want a lover who released my mind. No more distinct, no more mistaking. Just a love respect to be in the kind I'm a man, I'm not fine and I'm strong. I'm not the perfect, I'm right and I'm wrong. I'm a man and the time I'm a deep. Don't break my heart, I'm begging your beast of need, both of the dead, both the deck, but the deck, the first time. Play it cool on me, nobody's foolin'. Guess I was foolin' everybody but me. What's on your mind, honey? What did you find? Is it the one you look for or the one you see? I'm the man with the suicide smile. It all comes to nothing. After a while, you know, I'm a man, I must carry it on. So who will catch me if I stumble and fall and in love more than anything? Love more than anything. I need love for the many things.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:20

That might be my favorite out of the three. And just giving you a follow, so's Alex on Instagram. This next track comes from Like Optimists. The track is called Sunny Weather. This track focuses on medication not working. Coping with that and believing in yourself to break through it all. People don't understand that this is not an easy thing to do for some people. We're totally with you, people. Keep going, things will get better, we promise. Say like optimists. This is sunny weather, and it's five and a half minutes long.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:23

I feel lighter all the time, but I'm disconnected, feel a little rejected. People just want me to be happy all the time. Oh it's all so clear. But at least we have a sunny weather. But at least we have a sunny weather. Well I'm up again with my two best friends. It's a cheap pass bottle of wine. Cigarette, smoke, clothes behind. I was just feeling a little down inside. Oh When it's all so clear, when I am no bad, but these we have a sunny weather. When it's all so clear, when I am no bad, I lie awake.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:19

Oh I lie awake again. Believe I'll be somebody, oh I'll lie away, can believe I'll be somebody died, Bully by Pixar, I'll die you wake.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:49

Sunny weather, which if you're watching this on Wednesday night, apparently we've had, so that's good. That's like optimists. That reminds me of like uh early 2000s kind of pop pop punk kind of vibe.

SPEAKER_00 1:35:05

No, I like that. It does remind me of someone. I'll think of it in a minute.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:09

It's like bling blink bling 182 kind of vibes, isn't it? Which is good. I like bling 182. Um that's good. Uh Sunny Weather by Like Optimists, and they got in touch with us on inbox at newmusicgenerator.com. As did Edward Young. We only played on a show a few weeks ago, but he's been back in touch again with his new track. Um please see attached my new track for consideration. He's attached it as a MP3 file to his email, which we do like. This one celebrates the marriage to his wonderful wife Kirsty. This song was written the night I bought my wife's engagement ring. It was intended as a musical wedding vows. This new song can be found on my EP called The Way I See You Now. Musical wedding vows? Never, never did that. We laughed.

SPEAKER_00 1:35:54

Have we ever renew them? Musical wedding vows? What singing them to each other? Oh no, I don't think it's a laugh. I would I'm not that romantic.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:03

The moment of romance would be lost by the giggling. Yeah, things like that. Okay, this is Edward Young's new track, then this is um dedicated to his uh marriage to his wife. Uh this is called a promise.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:20

I found a wall. I cannot get away. She breathes joy insulhts every day, and with her all my troubles dissolved. She's the puzzle I don't want a song, but what have I to offer? I promise to love her with all my heart To build her up if she falls apart through the best of days and the worst. I'll be by her side and put her first, and I'll never have nothing of value as long as I have my word to hold true. This is my promise to you. I'll keep the same, I'll keep the same. Down every road we tread. I'll catch the monsters underneath her bed. Her ambition I will protect our strength. She will never know neglect. I'll try my best. I'll do what I care to give her the future. She's always back. Give her everything to succeed. One day we'll have a house to come. We'll look at a family of her own. To build her up if she falls apart through the best of days and the worst. I'll be by her side and put her first. And I'll never have nothing of value as long as I have my word to hold true. This is my promise to you.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:00

That is Edward Young and his new track, which is called A Promise. What were you just saying to me off air? You wrote you wrote a song recently.

SPEAKER_00 1:40:14

We read a little bit of a little bit. I'm gonna learn anything.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:54

Yes, that's your lessons with all your free time. Um NMG, how are you doing? Thanks so much for your previous love and my song Echoes. This comes from Laura T. Um, I have a great summer banger for you, ready to go for the summer of twenty twenty six. Well, today, warmest day of the year, as as we um well, as we go out on a Wednesday night. So why not? Let's start the summer vibes. It's called Never Enough, it's written by myself, Laura Turner, and it's produced by Youth Killed It's Jack Murphy. Jack, an award-winning producer. This track is about someone giving it their all and way too much at the start of getting to know you, and then they lose interest, and then you don't hear from them again. So they go in all guns blazing at the start, and then the interest wanes, and then that's it. That's it. So this is Laura T and her summer banger is called Never Enough.

SPEAKER_19 1:41:55

I've had enough of dramas, I've had enough of lies. You told me things and thought you pulled the love on my eyes. The compliments are loop. You take me for a fool. You think we're on the same page, but you're barely in the room. All the time you're rinsing me, my red alert sounds. You know that I'm on to you, I'm doing a stupid game. The only thing is that you're really good at what you say, I'm on Monday, things go crazy. Video call on Wednesday, have me up to make past three. Okay, Thursday, then up on Friday night. Top me, I know, thank you very much. That's a feeling that you wanna feel your touch. Not sure why, cause you're not even my type. Know if it's going, so I might just take a night. I know where this is going, so I might just say good night. I might just say good night. I might just say goodnight. I might just say goodnight, good night, good night.

unknown 1:44:39

It was never enough.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:40

Laura T, the summer banger of 2026. That is called Never Enough. Now on to River Rats. Hello, we've been played by you guys a couple of times. We just had our latest song released called Red Witch. It'd be great to get a play. Last time I sent a song, I left out some info. We're a band called River Rats, or lowercase, no space, based in Essex and Hertfordshire. We have been together as a three-piece for over a year now and officially becoming a four-piece at our gig in Sawbridgeworth. This was as of tomorrow, the 4th of April, so that was last weekend. We spend the last year writing, recording, and playing some gigs here and there. But it's hotting up this year with over ten dates across the summer and more to come. We define ourselves as an indie blues folk band. Um but really that's for the benefit of the marketers. We have made dance songs. We're even working on an R and B time number at the moment. It'd be great to get a player on the show. Thanks for your time. Um Alex is tomorrow. Did I spell it correctly? I think I did. Uh that is their new song called Red Witch.

It's called Square One. I wrote it after catching myself constantly claiming I was back to Square One. I can never seem to find somewhere. I want it to be after leaving college. No, no, no. CJ then Square One. That is CJ, and the track is called Back to Square One. And that being so short has meant that we've caught up a bit of time, so we've still got time for these last two tracks. This one from Mutiny, um, who uh sent us through this track having got in touch with us through Instagram, which you can do. Follow us on New Music Generator on Instagram, and also please subscribe to us on YouTube. We are at New Music Generator trying to get to 200 uh followers on there as quickly as we possibly can. And remember, any music that's featured on the program, original new releases featured on the program until the end of May, will be considered for a nomination at the 2026 NMG Awards. This is Mutiny, and their track is called Suzanne. And that is their new track called Suzanne. And that concludes this week's programme where we have revealed to you that Alex Elbro is joining the New Music Generator to present a new podcast called Behind the Music that will start in May. More details on that to come. We also have another very exciting announcement to come in the next few days. So keep an eye on our social media that will affect the programme from next week.
