All The Women Are White,al The Black Are Men,but Some of us Are Black

Sebastian Knüpfer is yet another Baroque composer whose reputation and popularity have been overshadowed by J S Bach. Little of Knüpfer's music has previously been transcribed from its many manuscripts, let alone published. However, in his day Knüpfer was a respected and highly sought-after composer; his compositions were admired by his contemporaries and, according to his obituary, he 'composed quotations of the Psalms and other Biblical books with such sweetness and skilfulness that he delighted even the saddest hearts, and his name is spoken with admiration not only in Leipzig but also outside'.

Born Ruffians have launched new album 'Uncle, Duke & The Chief'. The three-piece went into the studio last year, eager to lay down material prompted by the turbulent times around them. From songs prompted by the death of David Bowie to something rather more personal, 'Uncle, Duke & The Chief' is billed as a broad, creative return. Out on February 16th, new cut 'Forget Me' is online now, a mellifluous and highly cerebral piece of pop music.“It’s about how the light is something that you should embrace and feel okay going towards it,” Luke Lalonde says. “We’re all doing this together, we’re all on the exact same path—it’s just that some of us are ahead of others.”
