Andrew Taylor
Vocalist on the track 'Pyramid Of Power' from The Cutler's 'Black Flag' EP (2009).
Perhaps best known for his ability to write a catchy tune and perform it in a deft and touching style Andrew Taylor is also a composer of electro, ambient, funk, psych-folk some prog-meanderings and almost any other style you may care to think of. His first instrument was made from a cereal box, a kitchen roll-tube and some elastic bands; it is this home-made ethic that permeates much of his work, though he seems to nurture an ability to make the lo-fi sound wide, expansive and well a bit hi-fi!
Here is what his website says about his most recent work... "Andrew Taylor's new album, entitled Mohribold, is an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres. The hour plus of music is crammed with a detail and energy that seems to come from another realm. There are no discernable lyrics here, instead an array of instruments seem to speak a language native to the unseen, deep, murky and mysterious wilds of Norfolk but a Norfolk populated by African drums and South-American ukeleles and its landscape of bouzoukis, old organs, trumpets and assorted percussion creates something of a psych-folk symphony."

Russell Morgan
Vocalist on the track 'Revolution' from The Cutler's 'Black Flag' EP (2009).
Extraordinary folk blues guitarist and songwriter Russell Morgan lives and writes in Cheshire, UK. Russell's sound is defined by his honey soaked growl, quirky writing style and a unique guitar approach.
His voice and sound is a marriage of traditional acoustic folk, alternative rock and blues; close listening reveals echoes of John Martyn and Richie Havens.
His debut EP "Surrender", mastered at Abbey Road was co-Produced by Filippo Gaetani, with a healthy collaborative input from Canadian producer Jordon Zadorozny.
"Surrender" will be released on September 1st through rayrecordings.
