ILN Flyers - a few more!

Christmas Cracker!

December 2007

Christmas is traditionally the season for musical nightmares. More of those Best-of-Has-Beens compilations; yet another ‘Best Xmas Album Ever In the World, Ever’; the ‘race’ for the Christmas Number One (Cliff versus [insert flavour-of-the-month]); the latest novelty sleigh-bell and mistletoe inspired tune……. However, ILN delves a little deeper and reveals some truly strange and wonderful festive surprises. Jolly Jazz Jingles, Festive Folk and Funk, Santa soul, Honky-Tonk Hymns, Country Carols and Weird Winter Warmers.

Planes Trains and Automobiles

November 2007

The very act of travelling has always inspired songwriters and musicians. Whether leaving on a jet plane, floating up, up and away in a balloon, catching the last train, driving in a car or perhaps riding a white horse – there is a song out there for every conceivable journey. The ILN collective will be hitting the road to dig out some obscure gems, along with some unlikely versions of classic travel tracks.
