When I Part The Sea

DJ. Music lover. Disco Squirrel. Not necessarily in that order. Not in any order in fact. Lets not get bogged down in silliness. Lets get up and do a boogie.

I spend most of my day at worked plugged into Soundcloud playlists and recommended lists. I save what I like to a playlist for each month. I have a some uploads from Guitar Pro or from recording my guitar.

Velvet Engine, the brainchild of Chilean Northamptonian San-D Godoy-Messenger.

Velvet Engine manages to tell honest and heartfelt stories through soft and soulful melodies and a reflective soul. Influenced by everyone from Ghostpoet to Laura Marling.

A pleasant repspite from the days tribulations, these are the perfect sounds to cup-of-tea to.

With 4 EP's under her belt 'Glimpse Of The Sun' , 'This Old Hat, 'Good People' and the newest release 'Cloudy Head' - and 2 Christmas singles 'Be Merry & Bright' and 'Silent Night'- we can expect great things from this breed of heart-warming alt-folk music and Velvet Engine will be sure to drive it in the right direction with her catalogue of honest yet timid and catchy songs.

After 18 years of flying solo, Velvet Engine welcomes new band including Matt Round on bass guitar, Mark Hales on drums and percussion and Dhiren Basu on lead guitar with occasional guest Roz Webber on viola.
