We lost David Bowie last Sunday, and the impact was hard to take. A sense of mourning has hung over the entirety of the music community this week, but at Cambridge’s Out of Blue Too gallery on Thursday night, a host of local musicians translated …
Ok, one last 2015 blog post, and then the greener pastures of 2016 await (although they’ve been less green and pasture-like than grey and bleak thus far). Anyway, as I mentioned in my year-end post last week, this was the third year I’ve covered one …
