Hi guys


Quick update for you of our schedule here at Esoteric over the next 2 months. very manic at the moment here. Lots going on.

Mountain-Go for your Life
Cochise-velvet Mountain (2Cd anthology)

John Lees Barclay James Harvest--Unreservedly Yours) Digital only "single release. (8th April)

Available Amazon, i-tunes etc. Has been number one classic rock download in germany and UK this week and well placed just in "rock". If I can just mention if you like your prog--very " far out there" then this may not be for you. If you do like well crafted softer progrock/AOR with the mellotron--- then this is a lovely track. The band are using it on their current tour in germany and the track has had lots of attention. the bands new album "North" will be out in the Autumn--first for 12 years--this track is quite untypical of the rest of the album. . If you are "radio" and would like the WAV for airplay--let me know please.

Sanguine Hum, Tin Spirits and Matt Stevens
I have two "Esoteric" dates booked with Sanguine Hum, Tin Spirits and Matt Stevens and we are promoting these directly. the shows are £12.50 for a very full evening-

Sanguine Hums new album-Weight of the World has so far had great reviews--we think its fantastic, recommended to all those who like melancholic modern prog. Steven Wilson kindly told us that he loves the album . the band will also be opening up the Night of the Prog festival at Lorelei in germany , With Steven Wilson and Opeth headlining.

Tin Spirits--terrific live band featuring Dave Gregory (XTC and Big Big Train) on guitar. TS play a great mix of original material, some XTC covers and a few "prog" covers too--all with a great vibe--if you havent seen them I thoroughly recommend them . We hope to have a new album with the band shortly.

Matt Stevens---I don’t think Matt needs much of an intro for many of you--hes a one man virtuso of prog loops and alternative sounds! Also one of the loveliest guys in the business..

7th June--the Borderline--London (start from 6.45pm)
