​​Hamilton Loomis has released his first-ever Christmas album, This Season. With covers of five Yuletide classics and five originals destined to become seasonal classics, the album offers something for everyone. "When I was a kid," he recalls, "my mom always had Christmas records playing in the house. There's such a great tradition of Christmas albums across just about every genre of music. It's something I've always wanted to do, and when I started writing these new songs I realized this was the time to do it."

Loomis not only shows off his songwriting and musical chops here, but his production skills are also on deft display as originals and classics seamlessly blend together to create an almost-perfect holiday vibe.

Deborah Bonham, over the course of an impressive career, has established herself as one of the finest Blues, Rock and Soul singers that the UK has produced. A string of critically acclaimed original albums, collaborations and captivating standing ovation concert performances, from the Royal Albert Hall and London Palladium to the Amphitheatres of the USA 'Stars Align Tour' with Paul Rodgers, Jeff Beck and Ann Wilson of Heart, have consistently garnered glowing reviews.

as the Stars of the Show” VELVET THUNDER (Heavenly Cream)

The Band features Belfast born Guitarist Peter Bullick, lauded by the Music Press for his passionate playing, exuding his influences from the world's finest Guitarists in every note of his performance. Free and Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers chose Bullick to fill the shoes of the late Paul Kossoff in his Free Spirit Band. Rodgers and Bullick, along with the other members of Bonham’s band - Gerard Louis (Keys), Richard Newman (Drums) and Ian Rowley (Bass), extensively toured the UK and USA, culminating in the Billboard Chart #2 album and DVD, 'Paul Rodgers’ Free Spirit Live at The Royal Albert Hall London'.

Blues and soul become inextricably entwined in award-winning singer-songwriter, Kyla Brox, whose raw talent has seen her described as “the finest female blues singer of her generation”. Winner of the 2018 UK Blues Challenge, Kyla has the honour of representing the UK in Memphis at the 2019 International Blues Challenge, as well as the European event in the Azores. In a huge nod to her ongoing stature in British Blues, the UK Blues Federation made Kyla an official Ambassador of UK Blues in 2016 and she is one of only three British singers privileged to be included in the 50 Women of the Blues Spotify playlist.

Daughter of cult blues figure, Victor Brox, the Mancunian vocalist began her career as a teenager in her father’s band and has now honed her own sophisticated sound, as heard on her critically acclaimed 2016 album, Throw Away Your Blues and the scintillating, multi-faceted new 2019 album, Pain & Glory. Her voice; tender, urgent, gritty, blurring the distinction between pleasure and pain, mixed with the enchantingly fluent guitar work of Paul Farr, inspired bass playing of Danny Blomeley and in-the-pocket drumming of Mark Warburton, combine to make a unique and powerful, often joyous, always emotional experience.

Kyla also plays in duo form with her husband, virtuoso acoustic guitarist, Danny Blomeley, whose playing, by turns delicate and unrestrained, has earned him a following in his own right.

With many albums under her belt and many miles covered on the road, touring all over the world, Kyla Brox is widely regarded as one of the very best soul-blues singers the British Isles has ever produced.

This album is a testament to our growth, not just as musicians, but as individuals. Each track tells a story, capturing moments of joy, struggle, and triumph. We have poured our hearts into every lyric, note, and beat, hoping to connect with listeners on a deeper level.

We dedicated this album to our fans, both old and new. Your passion and enthusiasm have been the driving force behind us. Without you, we are nothing. While every band says this, we genuinely hope “The Ordinary People” resonates with you and becomes a meaningful part of your life’s soundtrack.“
