This week's lucky dip features Communion an artist-led organisation that combines elements of live promotion, publishing, records and production and the title of a Mojo compilation from June 2011 Communion - A New Generation of Songwriters.
A music label which came from the club scene with a particular focus on nu-folk.
Mumford and Sons are by far the most successful act on the label and compilation with Michael Kiwanuka and Nathaniel Ratecliffe having also enjoyed a modicum of success albeit on a significantly smaller scale than the Mumfords.
The compilation is not bad but there is nothing startling or anything that jumps out shouting feature me.
So I have gone for Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Kyla La Grange. I would have also gone for Matthew and the Atlas but for some dodgy handclapping.
More random nonsense next Saturday.
Benjamin Francis Leftwich - More Than Letters
Kyla La Grange - Walk Through Walls (Communion Version)
Marc Riley features Benjamin Francis Leftwich on his shows from time to time. His stuff is nice, I must check out more of it.
