EVEN THE STARS ALBUMS OF 2019 - 20 to 17

Today we reveal the first set of our favourite albums of 2019 - from twenty to seventeen

Nev Cottee - Manchester Vinyl Revival - 10th August 2019

In support of his album River's Edge and the launch show at Band On The Wall in Manchester next Friday Nev Cottee played an intimate five-song in-store set at Vinyl Revival with just guitarist Jimmy for accompaniment.

Nev Cottee - River's Edge

Nev Cottee's fourth album River's Edge is released this Friday, the follow-up to 2017's Broken Flowers. River's Edge is a wonderfully intimate album, soft and gentle in its approach with an intimacy that will draw the listener in and intoxicate them with his rough yet comforting voice as he sings about love and loss and the spaces in between, cementing his place in the hearts of those that have been fortunate to cross the path of one of the most underrated and underappreciated songwriters of this decade.

TRACK OF THE DAY : Nev Cottee - Roses

Roses is the second single to be taken from Nev Cottee's forthcoming River's Edge album following the release of Hello Stranger earlier in the year. It's a duet with a mysterious chanteuse Veronica who Nev met when she was singing on the backstreets of Madrid

Kieran Fest 2015 - Liam Frost / Déjà Vega / Jo Rose / Denise Johnson / Nev Cottee - Chorlton Irish Club - 5th September 2015

Kieran Fest is an annual event set up by the parents of Kieran Crump Raiswell after they lost their son with the aim of raising funds for Manchester charity 42nd Street that offers support services to young people under stress. The second day of the festival included a concert at Chorlton Irish Club featuring a mix of local artists with all proceeds going towards the invaluable work that 42nd Street do for the young people of Manchester.

Ryley Walker / Nev Cottee - Manchester Soup Kitchen - 29th August 2015

Ryley Walker's return to Manchester, this time with a full band, was eagerly anticipated by those who witnessed his sold out solo show at Gullivers earlier in the year. He didn't disappoint with an intense set of songs, improvised in parts, that showed a rare unique talent. Support came from a seven-song stripped down set from Nev Cottee.
