Record Kicks welcomes HANNAH WILLIAMS & THE TASTEMAKERS
RECORD KICKS is delighted to introduce its latest signing HANNAH WILLIAMS & THE TASTEMAKERS, a brand new deep funk & soul combo from the South Coast of the UK that has already gained praise from DJs such as Craig Charles (Funk & Soul Soul on BBC6) and Nik Weston (Mukatsuku / Guynamukat). Fronted by sensational soul diva Hannah Williams, whose warm and husky tones have been defined nothing less than "superb", The Tastemakers are one of those up and coming funk bands to look out for if you love the retro sound.
The group's very limited self-produced 7" has been getting increasingly popular within radio and club circuits and is now available for purchase here at the RK website on 7"/Digital Download. From straight-up soul piece "I've Been Waiting" to funky dance-floor numbers "Don't Tell Me" and "Deep Fried Funk", there's no doubt Hannah Williams & The Tastemakers throw down some heavy vibes that are sure to make this single turn into a saught-after rarity in little to no time, so hurry while supplies last! The band is currently busy in the studio and their debut album is expected to drop on Record Kicks next Autumn/Winter, so hold on tight if you're among the many eager to hear more!

British Independent Film Awards 2010
On the 5th of December the British Independent Film Awards were hosted by the actor James Nesbitt in London.
I completely missed out on that, because of being busy with Jack The Ripper and other work.
However it seems the The King's Speech was one of the biggie's this year. This film for an Oscar? Looks like it. Also Monsters surprises in many categories...
