Issue 65 Newsletter

We continue our occasional series on great movie directors' use of soundtracks in issue 65. This month, our resident film fanatic Del Pike looks at the work of the COEN BROTHERS and their collaboration with Carter Burwell and T Bone Burnett. As the brothers behind classics such as The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou and Fargo return with Hail, Caesar we analyse the secrets behind their soundtrack success.

Bold Street Coffee welcomes Yorkshire troubadour SERIOUS SAM BARRETT this month. The folkster is launching new album Sometimes You Got To Lose as well as an exhibition of works by illustrator Sami Graystone which runs in the city's caffeine capital throughout April. Bido Lito!'s Glyn Akroyd caught up with Barrett and talked skateboarding, influences and his love for Liverpool.

Serious Sam Barrett: "The English, Scottish and Irish traditions all have their own unique styles and I love them all. But there has always been a lot of crossing over between them, and they have a lot in common. I love the way American traditional music draws on all of them but also heavily on African folk music."
