Sweet airs
BRIAN DENNY recommends the delicate and ethereal music of an Essex troubadour

Days of Shaking 
MG Boulter 
Hudson Records 

TO borrow from Karl Marx, if you feel compelled to face with sober senses the real conditions of life, a drop of MG Boulter’s fourth album Days of Shaking wouldn’t do you any harm.

Readers may be familiar with this Essex troubadour’s tales of suburban realism and his matter-of-fact demeanour from his last well-received offering Clifftown, an album dedicated to his home town.
