This week see's the final ever performances by The Music, in London tomorrow night, followed by two home town gigs in Leeds on Friday and Saturday. A band who must rank as one of the most underrated British rock outfits of all time, produced three albums, their eponymous debut in 2002, "Welcome to the North" in 2004 and "Strength in Numbers" in 2008. Over the years they received great critical acclaim, built up a fervent following, although true success continued to evade them. They excelled particularly in the live arena, the gig I attended in Lancaster back in 2005, still resides in my top 5 of all time.
The Music leave us with with a back catalogue filled with quality, rather than quantity, full of some of the biggest riffs this side of Led Zep and in Rob Harvey, a truly inspiring clean rock vocal.
A parting gift is available as a free download from their website, "Magic Hands," a track recorded while the band were working on their fourth album, subsequently never destined to see the light of day.

So to the strains of "Magic Hands" let us bid, Robert Harvey – vocals, guitar, Adam Nutter – lead guitar, Stuart Coleman – bass guitar and Phil Jordan – drums a fond farewell.
The Music, after this weekend may be gone, but they will never be forgotten.

"We love the track and it just seemed a shame to leave it gathering dust for ever. It's good to go out with something positive and new and we think it deserves to see the light of day. Hopefully the fans will agree - again we want to thank everyone who's been with us on this journey and look forward to celebrating an amazing ten y
