A departure by Tales From The Woods from our usual fare of Roots music was our presentation of some fine up-and-coming young talent at the Spice Of Life.
The Gallerys from Maidstone, Kent performed a set of mostly their own material plus a smattering of Britpop and 60's material such as The Who's "Substitute".
The band were supported by a fine young singer from Hamburg, Germany, Julian LeBen performing his own interesting songs solo on acoustic guitar.

AMERICAN MUSIC MAGAZINE
American Music Magazine is published by the Swedish Rock 'n' Roll Club. We are a non profit organisation devoted to the 1950s rock'n'roll music and our intention is to document, as far as possible, the early years of rock-a-billy, rock 'n' roll and its related artforms. The text of the magazine is in Swedish and English. Each issue is full of original photographs and discographies.
AM works in co-operation with the "Tales From The Woods" Roots Music Social Networking Group in the U.K. The aim is to collaborate to keep rock 'n' roll, its history,
and its many talented artists and musicians alive for posterity and future generations - this through sharing articles that have appeared in our magazines over the years,
helping each other with publicity and generally spreading the word not just to the converted, but also to those yet to share our enthusiasm.
