It seems that some rock 'n' roll dreams do come true... Alex KP, the remarkable singer-songwriter, mentioned on this blog in the summer, was not only persuaded to add her spine-tingling voice to tracks on our new Russ Payne and Unison Bends album, 'Liquor And Iron', but she has agreed to perform with the band at our 'live' album launch in Brighton on November 26.
It promises to be the most exciting gig that the band has done. I wouldn't want to miss it.

Seeing A Star
One of the highlights of the recent Unison Bends album sessions in Brighton was getting out into the city after 10-hour days in the studio and checking out the local music scene.
A night out at the Greys pub proved revelatory. Four singer/songwriters were on the bill, and each of them was excellent: interesting songs, great voices and out-of-the-ordinary instrumentation.
But one stood out so far ahead of the others that it was almost unreal. Alex KP sings her truly original material accompanied by her own immaculate guitar and the beautiful playing of her cellist. But what stunned the place into complete attentive silence was her voice, an instrument of passion that leaps from sweet to gruffly bluesy in an instant or two.
She is in the same league as John Martyn and Joni Mitchell (while not being a copy of either one). In short: she is a star.
