You are a little bit of heaven, 
and I'm just coming down. 
It's six I guess I got til seven, 
to turn you back around. 

My love nothing's permanent, 
Can't get a cure for it, 
but I would try, I would try. 

In the air I breathe again, feel again and you...
You disappear indifferent, flying there in the blue. 
The blue. 

And were they perfect moments?
Cos I'm so different now. 
You get kicked, get tough, get up, get over, 
the dream you hadn't found. 

My love nothing's permanent, 
Can't get a cure for it, 
but I would try, I would try. 

In the air I breathe again, feel again and you...
You disappear indifferent, flying there in the blue. 
The blue, the blue, flying there in the blue. 
In the air I breathe again, feel again and you...
The blue, the blue, flying there in the blue.

The Blue

Ends Of Me

A tennis ball in a sock against the garage door
means your sister’s going to leave you alone for a change.

Phew.

Your dad’s watching cricket in a roomful of smoke,
curtains tight against the sun and you’re not allowed in either 
but what you don’t know is that it’s because he’s hung over. 
All you know is he’s scary.

Your mum’s singing Tammy Wynette in the kitchen 
but something in her voice and the song 
is telling you not to go in there just yet. 

There’s a rattle of a magpie; 
you don’t know it’s a magpie, 
it’s just a bird you don’t even really hear.

Holding Space dust in your mouth makes your tongue go sore 
but you do it because you don’t want anyone to know it’s there. 
Pour some more.

You hold on tight to the rough hips of the tree
because you’re balancing on an orange and red striped beach ball.
You admire your toes: you look like a circus girl. 

It’s Saturday and the sun’s gotta burst soon 
and skin cancer hasn’t been invented yet.
You’ve got six whole weeks 
before you have to go back:
you’ll be in the circus by then.  

You might marry Mickey Dolenz.
Or Pete Duel. 
You’ve already got the hat.

Space Dust

Leeds duo Lucky Iris release their dreamy single ‘Coffee Shop’. The track is produced by Ed Heaton and mixed by Lee Smith (Holly Humberstone, Easy Life) and will be accompanied by pop up appearances in coffee shops across their native Leeds. The release is supported by Launchpad at Music: Leeds.
A quote by Maeve: 
"Coffee Shop was really just created from our desire to get out into the world during lockdown. Although we were desperate to travel again, we found ourselves really wanting just to sit in our favourite local coffee shop and feel that little sense of normality that comes with being out and about running errands and stressing about running errands. The little things which seemed suddenly so big when they got taken away from us!"

Hackney born and Colchester based he returns with a cheeky new single Here Come The Freaks. 

Written, recorded and self-produced by Johnno in the middle of recording a new Snippet album, this song just didn't seem comfortable being sat between two tracks on an album, so it busted out in its own right. 

Here Come The Freaks is in celebration of the picked upon, the bullied and the under-appreciated members of society.

Former caretaker, London Underground railman and relationship manager Johnno Casson aka Snippet started out writing songs at 15 in his bedroom on a Hackney council estate with a tennis racket for a guitar and a soap-on-a-rope microphone.

Johnno juggled being in a band with holding down a normal job (playing a packed Astoria at night and washing out s**t stained lifts in the morning).

Johnno played for Adrian Sherwood’s (On-U-Sound) 5-a-side football team (silky smooth striker), gloriously beating The Sun’s newspaper’s team at a championship for charity at Arsenal’s old Highbury stadium and for the last 12 years he has been perfecting his coleslaw making skills whilst getting M.E and becoming a well-respected figurehead on the British D.I.Y./Wonky Pop scene by making excellent songs that may come from the borders and margins, but kiss you in the sweet spot as good as more mainstream songs do. 

Oh and Johnno has recorded and toured extensively with all sorts of bands including as lead singer with Deep Joy who were born out of the early 90’s London acid house/club scene - via Shoom nightclub and being named as Danny
Rampling’s favourite band, working with David Harrow and Andrew Weatherall who produced and remixed their debut single on Brainiak Records - onto the early years of trip-hop on James Lavelle’s Mo ‘Wax label and being championed by Gilles Peterson on Kiss FM. 

They dented the charts in New York, Tokyo and London and also worked
with the aforementioned legendary On-U-Sound label founder and producer Adrian Sherwood on their Ray Hayden produced material.

For the last 12 years Johnno has been releasing independent music under his own name, as Snippet, Old Tramp and Walken400, creating a unique catalogue of recordings and performances and has been named by Tom Robinson as the most played BBC Introducing artist ever on his BBC 6 Music show. 

He also the founder/producer of the Warm and Toasty Club, an innovative  and award winning club that uses delightful live events to make older folk feel cherished and less lonely. Of late the club has kept people connected throughout lockdown with 70 online chat shows with fun features and live singing guests (called Online Memory Afternoons), a monthly Warm and Toasty Newsletter and a daily telephone befriending service to help keep loneliness and isolation at bay and keep people connected.

“I feel about Snippet much like John Peel felt about The Fall - Snippet: A National Indie treasure”
– Tom Robinson

“An East End Brian Wilson on a budget” Americana UK

“Pop genius” – Louder Than War

Coupdekat combines hyper and indie pop in her ultra
catchy new single 'lost in translation’. Running with 
the theme of online dating, she explores the pitfalls of 
dating someone from a different country, and the inevitable 
cultural and language confusion that arises. A mouth piece of the 
phone generation, she speaks of using her phone as the third 
person in the relationship, the modern chaperone, providing the 
translation. Throwing COVID and Brexit into the mix, these star 
cross lovers seem destined to be kept apart. Once again, 
Coupdekat provides us with a glimps into the many fustrations of a
modern relationship.

Don't wait for it all
No one will come and fix it all up
Waiting you'll waste it all
Waiting don't waste it all

You don't need to belong
Grab my hand and we will be okay

Empty Space
Don't be afraid
Feel your heart beating
And know you'll be alright

You don't need to belong
Grab my hand and we will be okay

Don't wait for it all
No one will come and fix it all up
Waiting you'll waste it all
Waiting don't waste it all

The back story

For the last 16 years Johnno has been releasing independent music under his own name, as Snippet, Old Tramp and Walken400, creating a unique catalogue of recordings and performances, and having been named by Tom Robinson as the most played BBC Introducing artist ever on his BBC 6 Music show, Johnno has continued to release vibrant music with plenty of bounce to the ounce.

Former caretaker, London Underground railman and local council relationship manager Johnno Casson aka Snippet started out writing songs at 15 in his bedroom on a Hackney council estate with a tennis racket for a guitar and a soap-on-a-rope microphone.

Johnno played for Adrian Sherwood’s (On-USound) 5-a-side football team (silky smooth striker), gloriously beating The Sun newspaper’s team at a championship for charity at Arsenal’s stadium, and for the last 12 years he has been perfecting his coleslaw making skills, whilst getting M.E and becoming a well respected figurehead on the British D.I.Y./Wonky Pop scene.

Johnno also runs the award winning community group The Warm and Toasty Club, running special live events for the last 9 years www.facebook.com/thewarmandtoastyclub
