Recommended albums of 2014

Thanks, as ever, go to promoters Geraint Jones, Bob Buchan, Jane Brace and Martin Hadden for the music they've sent me this year. And despite Acoustic Spectrum going off air last month I am still being sent the occasional new release which is much appreciated as it encourages me to keep putting shows together and uploading them to MixcloudThanks also to the musicians who have sent me cds or free downloads of their music. 

I'd say my favourites are Patsy Matheson, Ewan McLennan, The Rails, Ian Sherwood, Shinyribs and Tumbling Bones.
