Confessions

Emily Breeze is opening for James tonight at Canon's Marsh Ampitheatre in Bristol, a hometown gig following the release earlier this year of the rather brilliant album, Rapture. Another one I'm going to miss, though I am poised to snap up tickets for a headline show at The Fleece when they go on sale this morning. That one's not until February 2024 and it'll (finally) be my chance to see Emily and the band live in concert.

I was also very late in discovering Emily Breeze's music and first wrote about it here in July 2022 and again in October 2022 then most recently in March 2023, alongside the album release and Daddy G vs Robot Club Remix of Confessions Of An Ageing Party Girl.

 

So here's an 11-track selection designed to retro fit a cassette side and to played loud. I don't have Emily's first album, Penny Arcade, but a few songs from that album and period have appeared on freebie CDs and download EPs. I've also included a live song, which suffers a bit from some distortion and dips but it's such a good song and performance that I've included it in the mix with no apologies.

 

If you're going to the James concert tonight, do the right thing and turn up in time to see Emily and the band. If you've not heard Emily's music before, this may well change your life. Either way, listen to this then head online and buy her music!
