Emily C Smith is back, hosting her second Sleeve Notes Session with more cries and screams from her favourite artists. Songs of heartbreak, heartache, the devil and engineering and of course a little bit of celebrating the femme - it's International Women's Day.

Yippeee, after lots of work and blah blah blah I can announce my EP will be available to buy
at all bad online stores from the 19th August 2016... Thank you to all the wonderful people who have helped me to do this.
The EP Far From Judd features the talented David Krupski on drums, Jak Chantler on guitar and Gareth Cobb on bass. With guest appearances from Toby Couling (The Noisettes, Newton Faulkner) and Hana Piranha (Birdseatsbaby) I play guitars, keyboards and vocals but am mostly proud of my old school drum machine wizardry on Don't Leave Me Alone. Recorded at The Fold Studios, Forest Hill, South London. Mixed & engineered by Gareth Cobb. Mastered by Giles Barrett at Soup Studio. Produced by Me and Gareth Cobb. Artwork and design by the very talented Alexander Dalton.
We're planning a launch with our friends at Folk Lore to celebrate on the 9th September at the Harrison where there will be physical, hold it in your hand, CDs for sale plus some special guests performing. Come on down it'll be lovely to see you.

Emily’s music can be described as a cross between PJ Harvey and Debbie Harry with a bit of White Stripes, Patti Smith, Throwing Muses and Rockabilly thrown in.
Emily's debut album, Marina's Laughing, was released in 2013 and the songs* Fight Against You and *You and Me were both picked up and played on BBC 6music and BBC Wales.
Emily is currently working on her second recording and gigging with her four piece band around London.

White Ape “Outstanding – a swaggering pottymouthed earworm. Genius lyrics and great vocal delivery...fine fucking work, men." - Tom Robinson, BBC6music “You know some people are just too smart. So smart their heads spin with ideas and they talk in flights of fancy. These people don’t fit into the mundane groove of reality and the lucky ones end up making music.

Avital Raz "There is no-one quite like Avital Raz in the world of music right now, and she should be applauded for the intelligence and singularity of her artistic vision. The Fallen Angel’s Unravelling Descent is a genuinely original musical statement, full of wise, exotic and gleefully mordant songs that manage to be simultaneously challenging and melodic." - Folk Radio UK http://www.avitalraz.com/ https://www.facebook.com/avitalrazmusic/
Dave Miatt / Jackie Paper Former member of NME-darlings Thomas Tantrum, South-Coast singer-songwriter Dave Miatt is at his most tangible in his solo work. Inspired by folklore, myth and magic, Miatt’s songs represent both his meaningful late-night ponderings and dark sense of humour. Currently, he can also be found fronting jangle-pop/ folk band Sleeping Tigers and as a hired gun for psych-pop collective Spectral Park. https://www.facebook.com/davemiattmusic/
Ed Hicks As a treat for the old Sotones crowd, we have reached into the back and tracked down one of the original shining lights of the scene, Ed.J.Hicks. For years he’s been painting walls in Hackney but with a mix of whiskey and personal compliments, we have coaxed him back onto the stage. Is this a comeback? We really don’t know. Expect a load of alt-blues and gruff soul. https://www.facebook.com/Ed-Hicks-54-253645434753176/ http://globalstreetart.com/ed-hicks
