Essex-based singer-songwriter Tom Ryder has unveiled Desk Job, the new single lifted from his recent Strings Attached EP. The energetic three-minute track offers a tongue-in-cheek exploration of the daily 9 to 5 grind alongside infectious folk-pop melodies & soaring vocals.

A musician since his teenage years, Tom has enjoyed a stellar start to his career as a solo artist. Influenced by classic singer-songwriter staples John Martyn, Damien Rice & Tracy Chapman, his songs have been quick to make an impression with influential media tastemakers. BBC Introducing in Cambridge, BBC Essex, and BBC Three Counties Radio have playlisted Tom’s songs and invited him in for live sessions, and the EP title track Strings Attached has already been heard on the airwaves of 39 BBC regional stations as Track Of The Week on the Mark Forrest Show. Last year’s beautiful charity single Silence Breaking Through Sound not only showcased heartfelt, emotive songwriting and raised over £9000 for Macmillan Cancer Support but also gained celebrity praise & approval from Chris Evans and Rod Stewart when they watched a live performance of the song. Despite the life experience as a part-time journalist he brings to the wry lyrics of Desk Job, it’s surely only a matter of time before Tom Ryder is known for a very different full-time profession as a talented singer-songwriter.

Tom will be playing shows & festivals in support of the EP this summer. For more info, head to http://www.tomaryder.com

A Visit To Urban Coffee Lounge Queensferry

Those who know me well will know my deep passion for good cake!! I call it a passion because I just love cake, but with good cake has to come amazing coffee. So when I was contacted by Richard Lavender who told me he had recently opened a coffee lounge in Queensferry. I was keen to check the place out. When I told Radio Deeside's main man Barry Dale about the visit he quickly pulled rank expressing how he had to come along and also check out the cake selection!! On arriving at Urban Coffee Lounge I quickly noticed how spotlessly clean the place was, everything neatly in its place. The smell of coffee hit me just as I reached the counter, I opted for the cappuccino, Barry, on the other hand, decided on a nice mug of tea with one eye closely on the cakes!!! There is a choice of seating area's within the coffee lounge as well as a seated area outside, The traditional table and chairs also lounge style chairs with coffee table or there is a bar style seated area with h...

Bereaved Flintshire mum launches bus safety campaign after daughter Louise's tragic death

The mother of a girl killed under the wheels of a bus is campaigning for safer travel for school pupils. Lynne Chick has set up a social media campaign in the name of her daughter, Louise Gregson-Oldfield, to secure designated school buses with access to a seat and seat belt for every child rather than having to rely on overcrowded public transport. Lynne’s daughter Louise, 11, died after ending up under the wheels of a public bus she had traveled home from school on on March 19, 2001 at the junction of Mold Road and Howard Street in Connah’s Quay, near her family home. Miss Chick, of Hawarden, explained why she was establishing the campaign. She said: In the months after Louise died it emerged the bus she had travelled home on had been over crowded, with adults standing talking to the driver and there was also a mention her bag had got caught in the door or wheel causing her to be dragged under the bus she had just alighted from, There still remains a big question mark ove...
