New Kate Walsh & Olly song ‘Trying’

About 400 Turin Brakes fans (and people with YouTube access) might already heard Kate Walsh singing ‘Greatest Love’, a song from the upcoming Light & Dark, with Turin Brakes singer Olly Knights during the support slot Kate did at the Canterbury gigs. Or maybe you were at her headline gig at the Luminaire in London [...]

Acoustic set at Apollo video store

If not for the recent downtime, I could have posted this last minute news that Turin Brakes are playing an acoustic set at Apollo video store in London to mark the end of their Live at the Apollo campaign to save the store. The news was leaked via Twitter by both the band and The [...]

Olly joins Kate Walsh on 23 June (tomorrow)

Olly will be appearing live on stage at Kate Walsh’s gig at the Luminaire in London tomorrow. He will be singing ’some songs’ with her (possibly the songs that he also sings on the album, one of them is called Greatest Love). Olly and Kate sang together in Canterbury last month and the result was [...]

Amadou et Mariam et Gale Paridjanian

Last night, Amadou & Mariam performed at the Jazz Café in London. Olly and Gale (as well as Beth Orton) joined on stage for some jamming. Check this video where Gale plays slide guitar. Apparently Olly also joined on stage to play Underdog and Slack.

Hey! They turned out very nice (also the Kate Walsh ones)! Thanks for posting!

I like it... Not enough people have heard enough of their material and this is a good way to get them to (if the label and the band promote it). Hopefully it will be supported by some sort of 10-year-tb-celebrating tour. ;)

Here I am on Ethers Air

Well here I am on Ethers Air, I thought I'd check It out after seeing stefano's T/shirt at the Canterbury gig and hats of to him, looks like he's doing a great job here.
I've followed the brakes music now since day one and In my book they just keep getting better, Canterbury was only the second time I've seen them live and I managed to meet them and have a chat, just as I assumed they are a great bunch of blokes and It felt like I've known them for years.
Hopefully now I have more time on my han… Continue

Wow i met them last night!!!

Hello All, Just thought id share my thoughts and let you know just how happy I am that I met Turin Brakes last night at Canterbury. Ok i know im 33 years old but this is something I would have written to Jim'll fix it for. Just so happy I got to meet them, and now i would love to put something whitty about how cool they were or down to earth they are (which of course they are) but im kinda struggling for words. Both me and my fiancee were just blown away.
