Let’s face it, whatever some people say about the ska genre, it’s definitely not dead in the local and neighbouring scenes, Minimal Damage played the Sno Bar not too long ago and shown that Bedford has a similar love for the offbeat as some of us do. One of the things that the band have and put to good use is their horn section and it hits you pretty much straight away. With a hooky passage that drives the opening of “Writer’s Block” with a good blast that wakes you up when you start the Cd, it’s one of the strongest entrances we’ve heard on a ska Ep.

Folk on the Green was pretty fair this year with all the usual and more established names playing during the day. But there was one band that was a bit new, the semi-local Hidden Image who have some roots in our very own Stony Stratford, they also had some Ep material available, including their latest works on “This Beaten Track” a three track Ep to chill out to. Going into the CD, we’re introduced to a very simple melody that glistens into the first first few bars, “Something Is Broken” has a bit of a poppy and somewhat distended feel to it.
