This week’s podcast and a belief-in-the-music themed playlist
Hello. I'm jazz writer Stephen Graham. This is my blog - hope you enjoy dipping into its pages and articles every so often. I hope that in time it can be like a "living source" for you if you share the feeling and sentiments expressed and echo that emotion. And even if you don't you can be harmlessly distracted while spending a few amiably diverting minutes leafing through the site's pages. Album reviews, some listings, a podcast, guest blogs, live reviews, playlists, interviews, thinkpieces and more are part of the scenery in these parts. Marlbank has been running since 2012. It's named after a beautiful place in Ireland, in Fermanagh, another kind of living source, a place that is a like a spring for the imagination. To borrow again from poet John Montague's 'The Water Carrier' such "heavy greenness fostered by water" abidingly inspires.
