I think ...As usual a very well written post Robin. I think you are right regarding an artist like Jack. Great to see the accolades he is and will in future receive, He has been my stand out live act of the year. Blogs like BMW bring to a wider audience those who you hear and you think have that special something and you tend to be doing that very early in their journey. Titling your year end list Ones to Watch is spot on. The acts you highlight for us are exactly that, ones to watch for the future. The ones who maybe, in 1 or 2 years could make it to the "sounds of " lists. <br />I also liked your reflection as to whether highlighting the young age of Xylaroo was ageist or not. I had exactly the same reflection when highlighting the young age of Grace Sarah, @GraceSarahMusic, when writing to someone suggesting she booked her for a showcase. <br /><br />My reflection was that it was correct. many have talent at a young age but few can craft a song that gets the attention of the likes of yourself and thus it is worth highlighting. You thus acknowledge not only the current skill but also that there is huge potential as well. If they show this at such an early age with relatively little experience what are they going to be like in a few years time.<br /><br />Thanks for your tireless work. Whilst at times I disagree with you I value the fact that you are always true to yourself and not a chaser of fame. <br /><br />No doubt we will cross paths at gigs in 2016 and certainly at TGE<br /><br />Robin<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181984415416748220noreply@blogger.com
