On this edition of 1/2/3/4 some excellent folk music from Salt House and Luke Plumb plus the dynamic duo This Way North pop in mid tour to share a song from their recent EP, Vol.2

UK guitarist Newton Faulkner burst onto the scene in 2007 with huge success – his debut album Hand Built By Robots achieved platinum and double platinum sales in Australia and the UK respectively. He joins us after touring the country of the back of his performance at Bluesfest this year, to talk about his sixth self released album, Hit The Ground Running. As well, some stunning new Australia releases from Cowboys of Love, Catherine McQuade and Coda Chroma.

I remember the day Susie Scurry sent me one of the best anti-promotional efforts ever. A handwritten letter on a scrap of A4 wrapped around a CDR, she asked if I’d listen to her song with a view to giving it radio play. The moment I heard the track ‘Pinky Blues’ (credited then as The Grand Magoozi) – I thought I was time travelling to the 1950’s – it was a gorgeous tune about an illicit affair. I played that track more than any other in my tenure on the Inside Sleeve. Since then Susie released her excellent debut LP and now is ready to launch her new EP, The Elvis Hour. We’ll hear the first single from it plus excellent new music from Dos Santos, Ralegh Long and 77:78. As well, two exclusive studio sessions from Charm of Finches and James Kenyon.
