My Little Brother - If We Never Came Down

In May of this year, My Little Brother released one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year so far. 

If We Never Came Down received great reviews from many leading music magazines and websites.  They have been described as "capturing the spirit of the 60s" by former Mamas And Papas vocalist Laurie Beebe Lewis, and #HarFest2014 are delighted that they will be performing as a full eight piece band in Lancashire for the first time at our event on 28 September.

Helen McCookerybook Donates CDs to #HarFest2014

Helen McCookerybook may not be a name that you instantly recognise, but she has been the driving force behind several important UK bands from The Chefs to Helen And The Horns.  She is also a published and well-respected author of music related literature including The Lost Women Of Rock: Female Musicians Of The Punk Era, and her musical teachings have inspired the musical community in the UK for over ten years.

Holding a doctorate at the University Of Westminster and being a lecturer at the University Of East London, she frequently holds musical workshops in collaboration with her partner Martin Stephenson and continues to release fine music via the Barbaraville label.

Unfortunately, Helen is unable to attend #HarFest2014 but has very kindly donated some cds for us to put into a raffle on the day.
