CMAT: Euro-Country (AWAL Recordings) ★★★★ Wolf Alice: The Clearing (RCA Records) ★★★★ Woody Guthrie: Woody at Home, Vol. 1 & 2 (Shamus Records) ★★★★ Bryan Adams: Roll With The Punches (Bad Records) ★★ CMAT | Getty Images Ciara Marie-Alice Thompson - you can call her CMAT - has enjoyed one of the most deserved success stories of the last few years, building a bigtime cult following for her Celtic country tones with a twist. She's a natural talent with a big voice, a social conscience, an impish sense of humour and a healthy dose of devil-may-care - how else do you explain the horrible sleeve image of her third album Euro-Country? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The title reflects her musical genre, Ireland's place in Europe and CMAT's anxieties about the current world order which she yodels over a plangent country backing and intrusive shuffling drumming on the title track. Much of the album looks inward, however. CMAT reckons with her own anger triggers on The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station over an inexorable indie krautrock groove, which builds along with her ululating vocals. Country confessional Take a Sexy Picture of Me is her twist on the make-me-pretty prayer. She is a gloriously free performer but not immune to body shaming barbs. The soaring easy listening soul of Ready is a declaration of willingness from a protagonist who is denied opportunity. 'I'm 23 and everyone is having fun except for me' she sings on country soul lament Coronation Street, before purging her yearning on the luxurious Janis Joplining. And though it may sound like she wishes disaster to rain down on a certain broligarch, Lord, Let That Tesla Crash is actually a tribute to a late friend and encourager. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Wolf Alice | Rachel Fleminger Hudson Wolf Alice also wield power thoughtfully on their excellent fourth album, The Clearing. This London four-piece have progressed well beyond their indie roots to evoke Blondiesque rapture on Bloom Baby Bloom as well as owning the swirling disco pop of Just Two Girls and the Stevie Nicks huskiness of Leaning Against the Wall. The Scotsman's arts newsletter is now sent twice a week - subscribe today Ellie Rowsell is a bewitching singer, switching at will from soft and demure to tough and punky tones while her bandmates get stuck into the ELO odyssey of Bread Butter Tea Sugar with its rhythmic strings and soaring backing vocals. The Clearing is so much more than bread and butter. WoodyGuthrie | Sid Grossman In his relatively short lifetime, Woody Guthrie, the father of western protest music, wrote a stack of songs which remain unrecorded, let alone unreleased. Woody at Home, Vol 1 & 2 is therefore a rare treasure, a double album repository of previously unreleased home demo recordings from 1951-52. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Even divested of its vestigial hum, this is as far from fancy as it gets but puts you right in the room with a musical legend at a time of fragile health. His signature song, This Land Is Your Land, sounds curiously low-key and introspective here, while the intimate, conversational take on Deportee is a resonant reminder that any country can be measured by how it treats its most vulnerable. Themes of peace, struggle, righteousness and the working man dominate. Backdoor Bum and the Big Landlord is a parable of hubris and humility, while Buoy Bells from Trenton concerns the Trenton Six, black men wrongly convicted of killing a white shopkeeper in 1948 - sadly as relevant as ever almost 80 years on. Bryan Adams, meanwhile, is still pulling for world peace in a rock song with A Little More Understanding. His latest album, Roll With the Punches, is happy to trot out the commercial rock cliches, with the air-punching power rockers coming out on top of the chest-beating ballads. The message is one of generalised positivity - Love Is Stronger Than Hate, Life Is Beautiful and the like - but he does take time out to tick off a philanderer on the marginally meaner squall of How's That Workin' For Ya. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad CLASSICAL Helen Grime: Chamber Music (Delphian) ★★★★★ In its sixth composer portrait for Delphian, the Hebrides Ensemble turns to Scots composer Helen Grime. The spotlight is on her chamber music, a panoply of works bearing an intimacy that is both engaging and thrilling. The opening work - Seven Pierrot Miniatures, commissioned in 2010 by Hebrides - is a masterclass in compositional clarity and concision, exploding with ruthless precision and scintillating freshness. Here, and beyond, the morphing Hebrides apply their characteristic virtuosity impeccably: in the shivering trio exchanges of Snow and Snow, the crystalline duetting of To See the Summer Sky, the lustrous French horn coupling in the Alexander McCall Smith-inspired Braid Hills, the bleak impressionism of Five North-Eastern Scenes (inspired by Joan Eardley's paintings), and the evocative solo pianism of James Willshire in the nuanced colourations of Harp of the North. Into the Faded Air, for string sextet, serves up a luxuriant conclusion to a transfixing survey. Ken Walton FOLK Sarah-Jane Summers & Juhani Silvola: How to Raise the Wind (Eighth Nerve Audio) ★★★★

Love Island girls Meg, Helena and Shakira suffer HUGE financial blow as major fashion brand refusing to sign them up
Former islanders have made millions off the back of the brand island ban Love Island girls Meg, Helena and Shakira suffer HUGE financial blow as major fashion brand refusing to sign them up Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE stars of Love Island this series will not be landing a deal from one of the major fashion brands. In the past, a number of popular contestants have cashed in with their own edits and collections for Pretty Little Thing, but this year the retailer will not be working with an islander. 5 Shakira might have been a huge hit on the show - but she won't be getting a PLT deal Credit: Splash 5 Helena is another girl who will miss out on the brand deal Credit: Splash 5 Viewers made a number of jokes about Meg trying to get a deal An insider said: 'It's a huge blow for the islanders this year, but PLT just aren't interested. 'They have had a huge rebrand recently and while there's no doubt they have made millions off the likes of Molly-Mae in the past, they will be doing things differently." Molly famously ended up as creative director for PLT after impressing bosses so much. Gemma Owen also signed a hefty deal with them off the back of her series and Ella Thomas, Grace Jackson and Uma Jammeh all worked with them too. Throughout this series, which was won by Toni and Cach, viewers made numerous references to the girls trying to land a deal - in particular Meg and Helena. But their fallout with Shakira and her gang, made people question what deals they would get. One person remarked: 'I wonder if Irish Meg will keep distance from the mean girls now she has seen what the public think of them. That PLT deal won't sign itself sis.' Another said: 'Meg just watched her PLT deal blow up in front of her. Dejon you bad boy.' While a third added: 'Helena is OBSESSED with Shakira omfg, somebody tell Helena she ain't getting that PLT deal from Shakira no matter how hard she tries I beg'. Molly-Mae had long had an affiliation with the brand having secured a big-money deal with the Manchester based retailer following her exit from Love Island. Molly Mae cruelly mum-shamed after quitting £5m PLT job to concentrate on baby Bambi However, she shocked fans when she announced that she would be stepping down from her reported £5million-a-year role as Creative Director in order to focus on motherhood. In June 2023, Molly confirmed that she had quit her mega-money fashion job. She was paid a reported £400,000 per month. In March of this year returning CEO Umar Kamani threw his 'A Legacy in Progress' Party at the Caviar Kaspia in Paris. A string of A-list stars attended, including supermodel Naomi Campbell, actress and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, actor Ed Westwick, boxing champion Anthony Joshua, socialite Cindy Bruna, and fashion influencer Leonie Hanne all graced the event. A Legacy in Progress marked a pivotal moment in PrettyLittleThing's ongoing transformation. He said at the time: 'People talk about the old PLT. This PLT is going to be far better.' 5 Molly Mae famously worked with PLT for years Credit: Getty 5 Gemma Owen also had her own edit Credit: instagram

Epic relay around Ceredigion boundary raises thousands
After a last-minute change of plan due to the tides, a group of St Dogmaels paddlers stepped in to kayak the opening leg from Cardigan's iconic Otter statue. From Poppit Sands, the St Dogmaels Community Rowing Club crew of Emma Williams, Hannah Rounding, Sam Lewis, Clare Ryles, and Fred Skilton took on the open sea in their magnificent Celtic longboat. In a spectacular display of solidarity, they were met offshore by a crew from Llangrannog Rowing Club, with both boats rowing into Aberporth beach together to be greeted by the Howni Shanty Choir.
