Here’s the latest batch of free and legal downloads that I’ve handpicked for your enjoyment ! Let’s begin as usual with a couple of exclusives :
DOWNLOAD : Lotzie Weaver – The Footie Song
The Footie Song by LotzieWeaver
DOWNLOAD : The Clever Little Tramps – I Was Sleeping
I Was Sleeping by clever little tramps
The footie song is from the Wirral songwriter’s recent album Caravan Dogs. He has an amusing bio on his website. He says “I’ll also be recording a new album as soon as I can get the spare cash to get into a studio” – so please buy the record and give him your money. The Clever Little Tramps (also from the Wirral) haven’t released any records yet and I can’t tell you much more about them except that they’re two brothers.
Staying in Merseyside, The Flamin’ Mamies are five girls who could’ve stepped straight outuva swinging jazz joint in the 1930s or a Texan dance hall in the 1940s. While Joe Rhead recorded his debut 5 track EP Growing Signs “in my Dad’s basement with nothing more than sheer love, heartache and a lack of natural light”.

Wooden Shjips and Howler are both from the US. But I saw Wooden Shjips in Liverpool last month, and Howler are touring the UK in November and December.

Finally for a rather lovely mellow sound, check out and download if you want these tracks from Ajimal, otherwise known as Fran O’Hanlon, who’s based in Newcastle / Edinburgh and is yet to release anything for you to buy.
