The Soundcarriers at the Beeb

Thursday 27th August saw the Soundcarriers recording a session at the BBC's Hub Studio for Stuart Maconie's 6Music show The Freak Zone.

It sounded fantastic - thanks to Justin 'The Professor' Spear and Henry for sitting in on the recording, and big thanks to
Jo Miflin for sorting such a great sound. We can't wait to hear it on air - scheduled for Sunday September 20th.

The Green Man festival 2009
Our highlights from a sunny Wales

We'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Jo and Danny for putting on such a brilliant, friendly and super-organised Green Man festival this year. Along with everyone
else there, The Soundcarriers had a top time.

The Soundcarriers were awarded the task of opening the Main Stage on the Saturday - just when the sun shone through. Thanks to everyone who came along to see us and the great treatment from the crew.

Highlights and memories for us from this years' festival include:

Talk from Joe Boyd in the literature tent, accompanied on guitar by Robyn Hitchcock, with stories and anecdotes of some of the 60s greats, taken from his book White Bicycles.
The countryside and setting of the festival - breathtaking. The 'Gongbath' - a gong played either side of someone's head for half an hour of pleasure and meditation. Dorian having the camping arrangements rocking - falling asleep around his wonderfully constructed fire, whilst he serenaded the area with Gently Johnny on acoustic guitar. Vinyl-diggers look away now - Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve slick DJ set in the Far Out Stage; incredible visuals. Nature's very own shooting stars.Rodriguez live on the Main Stage, Sunday. Opinions divided us, but the Memory Band's rendition of The Wicker Man soundtrack is worth a mention. Overall, a brilliant festival.

It's Hip! It's Happening! It's...

Alongside the beautiful Julie Driscoll gracing the cover of the September-October 2009 issue of Shindig!, there is a cover-mount CD. An encapsulation of fresh, young acts divulging in
all things Shindig! - garage, folk, psych and prog. Oh, and it
also features the track Caught By The Sun by The Soundcarriers.

Also on a Shindig! tip, here is Jon 'Mojo' Mills' review of our recent gig at London's Heaven, supporting White Denim
