Live From Old York: Laura Jurd, Annie Whitehead, Brooks Williams & Koshka
by Martin Longley
Laura Jurd's Dinosaur National Centre For Early Music November 11, 2016 Dinosaur are one of the UK's fastest rising new bands, although their recent re-naming hides a few years of history as the Laura Jurd Quartet.

by Duncan Heining

Talos Festival Bande 2014
by Libero Farnè
Talos Festival Bande 2014 Ruvo di Puglia 4-14.09.2014 Se ogni festival che si rispetti ha una sua fisionomia più o meno chiaramente orientata, l'identità del Talos di Ruvo di Puglia corrisponde pienamente a quella del suo direttore artistico Pino Minafra: ne riflette infatti la personalità passionale, le convinzioni, l'impegno socio-politico a favore ...
