It was the Ivor Novello Awards yesterday and for the second year running Nick Hemming from one of our favorite bands The Leisure Society was nominated for Best Song Musically & Lyrically.

But for the second year in a row he didn't win :-( It's one thing to lose out to Guy Garvey from Elbow, but Lily Allen?*$£!

I blame the Tories!!! I can console myself with the fact that they'll be playing at this year's Wychwood Festival first weekend in June. 

We'll be having a whole week of artists playing Wychwood starting on Monday.

Today's TunA is a piece of jazzy funk, which we rarely feature on the site, but that's only 'coz I don't get that much submitted.

The band is Academy of Funk and they are rather generously letting you download their new album Dea Ex Machina for nothing, zilch, gratis, 100% FREE.

Give us your track reactions and vote for your TunA the Week

See you in about 60 hours, depending on when you listen to Monday's TunA.

Pip pip
