Rita Lynch has been a part of the UK’s underground music scene for 30 years. Her adopted hometown of Bristol is a key part of her incredible story and development through punk rock, squatting, hard drinking, experimentation, love and loss and some beautiful music. She has made 6 albums in a career where the key motifs are about funnelling emotion and experiences into music and developing her craft so that it becomes a soundtrack to people’s lives. Songs like ‘Beautiful Eyes’, ‘Call me your Girlfriend’ and ‘Rolla Coaster’ have been many people personal soundtracks and this compilation presents many more of Rita’s previously released and unreleased songs. Never easily pigeon holed, Rita Lynch is a gifted songwriter and talented lyricist.

‘Story To Tell’ Anthology 1988 – 2011 – soon come in spring of 2016

Another welcome addition to our team for 2016 is Michael W Salter
