Adnams Artist of the Month
Each month member of the Adnams team selects a Suffolk'n'Cool artist
Each month a member of the team at Adnams selects a favourite artist from the Suffolk and Cool playlist from the preceding month to be the Adnams Artist of the Month.

The choice is made entirely by the reviewer and may well reflect their personal taste in music. Actually, there really isn't any other kind of taste in music. It's just personal.

So here you'll find the choices of some real people from Adnams in Southwold.

We can expect a few surprises.

This is a great part of our sponsorship arrangement with Adnams. It involves really nice people doing real jobs at the brewery and it is fascinating discovering their musical tastes.

Rob's careful analysis and tasting notes on the tracks he has heard parallel his tuned senses and attention to detail in his quest to bring the most interesting of the world's fine wines to the Adnams range.

At Adnams Sarah works with Sean on the web team and with Alastair on selecting wines for the Adnams range.
Who would have thought that a study of geography could lead to this!
