I’m Nick Tann – musician, songwriter, and your guide to the best new music you haven’t heard yet.

The Kettle Zone, Amity, Freefall, The Mighty Heartache

It’s episode 38 and it’s a banger with a compilation of old jingles from the Is This Thing On Podcast that I used to produce at the end. We kick off with The Kettle Zone and Every Other Summer’s Day. A kind of Paul Weller/Prefab Sprout undercurrent and damn fine it is too! I was a little too critical of some of this fine track and on third listen I have changed my mind somewhat. It’s pretty much Alan Parkinson from Midlothian. He has a rather jolly Facebook page here.

Then we have a welcome return of Amity and Ephemeral. A fine track that drew in some debate from Chris and myself. He has a spanky new website that is well worth a visit despite the fact that we are not mentioned once! https://amitymiller.com/.

Next the wonderful Freefall come along with their great single Fire. All the way from the home of funk, North Wales, they put me in mind of The Spin Doctors. In yet another reference to Is This Thing On Podcast, I played a band called Eggshell Egoz in 2010. They have a great website full of colour and pretty things here.

Lastly was The Mighty Heartache and a song that I used to play when I was with them back in the last century, And I Lied. It’s a masterpiece of songwriting and the arrangement is stunning! If you love this band as much as me then https://www.tfmcmusic.com/ is where you simply must go for more.

Then we finish with a compilation of old Is This Thing On podcast jingles. Want to send me a jingle for Nick Tann’s Fresh Music Fix? Do it! You can just record something on your phone or whatever and follow the instructions here. Chris reckons three people will send us something. I don’t think anyone will.

Let’s see…
