In August of 2009, J. Willgoose Esq performed some solo music he had created at the Selkirk Pub in Tooting, London.
Teaming up with the drummer Wrigglesworth they released an EP 'The War Room' in 2012 and became Public Service Broadcasting.

It was one of several projects by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Adam Young, who created the project while experimenting with music in his parents' basement. Owl City developed a following on the social networking site Myspace, like many musicians who achieved success in the late 2000s, before signing with Universal Republic Records, now Republic Records, in 2008.

This went to Number One.
Jan Garbarek released the live album 'Dresden'. I saw him play live this year - and every time that he has come to the UK for many years.
