PENNY BROADHURST & THE MAFFICKERS

"Next up, also from Yorkshire, was the swoonsome pop gorgeousness of Penny Broadhurst & The Maffickers, lyrics with a kind of bruised humour that refuses to stop finding joy in life no matter what it throws at us, all wrapped up in fantastic melodies and solid gold hooks. And … there were more trumpets! I love the brass. Penny started as a spoken word performer and her wordsmithery shone through, but for me the world would have been robbed had these not become the beautifully realised pop songs they deserve to be. Buy their Allons-y! EP."
