    The London Ear // Show 231

    Hello Hello Hello, what do we have going on here then? Well, over the past few weeks, it’s seems like there’s been a lot of chat on the show. That’s not saying anything bad, at all, about my wonderful guests. But since I only get an hour each Saturday, I really wanted to have the opportunity to catch up with some music I haven’t yet had the chance to play on The London Ear.

    And boy! There’s some great bloody music out at the moment.

    A Big P.S.

    Last week, there were some changes by the Advertising Standards Authority in the United Kingdom in relation to gifts and adverts sent to bloggers and then shared on social media. As I live in London, this technically includes me as a blogger. Bands, record companies and PRs send me music to play on the radio, often before release day. The music would not be available to purchase by the general public before release day. I receive music from artists with no expectation of play (obviously they’d like me to play it). There are often tracks that I want to play that I do not receive from bands or their representatives. I pay for these myself.

    It was great to finally catch up with Julie Hough, from Havvk on The London Ear. Havvk are now a Berlin based band but started life in London, although the band are originally from Ireland.

    We had a number of things to chat about on the show, the band’s new single ‘Always The Same’, their album announcement which will be called ‘Cause and Effect’ and will be released in two parts in 2019.

    We also had a chance to chat about how Havvk have set up Veta Records and are working with other artists including the excellent Maria Kelly and Dyver.

    Julie is also the cofounder of Self Made, a platform to explore DIY music through performance, discussion, and art, with a strong focus on women in music.   They are running a number of events. Do keep an eye out, the support a group like this can provide is simply amazing. You can read their mission statement in full here.

    You can find out more about Havvk on their website, Facebook and Twitter.
