These guys are doing beautiful, uplifting music and it's such an inspired, refreshing idea! And their sounds will give you a big soppy happy warm grin - precisely what I needed after a chilly damp winter's day in London:
http://www.myspace.com/paddyrasta Scots-based Paddyrasta are a very chilled, multicultural celtic-reggae band (Ireland, Northern Ireland, Nigeria & Scotland) and it *really* works! It might sound silly or unlikely but it actually works!
Their single "Molly Malone" is free to download from their My Space page ...and My Space friends can buy their album "Listen To Your Heart" at a special reduced price by visiting:

Another recommended act, currently playing on my My Space profile, are the mysterious garage band The Headless Hearsemen:
http://www.myspace.com/theheadlesshearsemen They're playing Rosemead, Ca, tomorrow - details (& a damn cool gig flyer!!) are on their page!
In other news:
...Only a couple of days now till my beautiful buxom celebrity gothic model RedVamp (she of the long crimson tresses) glides into LA on her purple velvet batwings for ghoulish phun at the HauntX horror event at the LAX Hilton!!
If you're in LA what better way to spend your weekend than actually getting to meet the legendary RedVamp... and of course buying our comedy horror RedVamp art merchandising! Yup horrorfiends, RedVamp will be there selling & autographing my art!
I'm stuck here in London in the rain haha ...so please go along to HauntX if you're in LA and I want to hear all about it & see your photos of you alongside RedVamp! Maybe I can sort out a prize for the best one!
