William John Clifton Haley was born in 1925 in Highland Park. Michigan and grew up in Booth’s Corner near Chester. As a child, William lost the sight in his left eye which left him shy and conscientious.

2018 has been a great year for music. I’d argue it’s been the best year for new music of the 21^st century so far, in fact. Which is why I’ve felt compelled to make another playlist, following on from my January to March one a few months earlier. This list covers the April to June period, compiling my favourite Albums and Eps of these three months, after which I hope to make one more covering July to December which will hopefully land in the new year. Here’s hoping 2019 will be even better!

There is one thing that shines through when you meet Stone Foundation’s lead singer and that is his undying love for the music that this band from the Midlands are producing at this point in their career.
