Andromeda was a psychedelic/progressive rock trio formed by singer-guitarist John Cann (also known as John Du Cann), formerly of the psychedelic garage band the Attack, Mick Hawksworth (bass, vocals), and Ian McClane (drums, vocals). The group performed in various London venues including Middle Earth and the Marquee Club. Cann’s guitar was the dominant instrument, leading listeners through classically based psychedelic and progressive directions and creative dissonances, contributing to the trio’s impressive live sets. Andromeda combined their own original writing with elements appropriated out of familiar classical material. They were signed to RCA in 1969 but before that they’d appeared live on the BBC’s Top Gear program in 1968, and in…

There’s a marked crossover from Celtic folk music at the moment. The Mary Wallopers now fill major rooms, while the likes of Lankum and Kingfishr edge the genre into the mainstream. Leading this charge are 
Centred on themes of dreams and the supernatural, with their vintage guitars accompanied by just Jon Thorne on double bass, Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage‘s fifth album, The Strangers’ Share, sees a return to the single microphone intimacy of their debut.
Though the title may sound like a martial arts film, Anthony’s Wilson’s House of the Singing Blossoms is pure, jovial jazz. The guitarist is well known for touring with Diana Krall, but he is a good player in his own right.
