Peter Nardini - Is There Anybody Out There?
(Temple Records COMD2020)
A classic album from Glaswegian artist & musician Peter Nardini, featuring what must surely be the best Hogmanay song ever. Peter is a superb painter, wordsmith and one of Scotland's best kept secrets.
'...the politics of Billy Bragg, the edge and wit of Loudon Wainwright III, the dark romance of Jacques Brel and the accent of Billy Connolly'
Robin Morton
