22nd January 2014 - Review of 2013 Show No 4!

Hi all

This is the last show of four that I’ve done to review all the music that I have been sent to the show over the last year.  I’ve looked at some 4O artists contributing to The Folk and Blues over the year – and I haven’t managed to play all of the artists that have sent music into the show so apologise to those. 

It’s been a great year for music and the Show and I thank every one for all their hard work.

14 January 2014 - Review of 2013 No 3

Hi all

A bit late but better late than never we always say.  Its Show number 3 of my review of 2013; 1 more to go and I better call it a day as I'm getting more post through so 'What's in the Post?' is champing at the bit to make an appearance, especially all the Drop Box files I've been getting through.

More excellent tracks, artists and songs from 'the little well known to the more obscure' here on the Folk and Blues Show

Review of 2013 NUMBER 2 – All tracks taken from CD’s sent to the Folk and Blues in 2013

HI all

Here we go with another review show looking back at 2013.  All the tracks on these shows have been taken from music sent by you to me throughout last year be it via CD’s MP3’s, Drop Box files and emails.     As there will NOW be FOUR shows that’s a lot of music sent to The Folk and Blues show so thank you all – I’m still getting through some music sent at the end of the year !

So unfortunately there will be no ‘What’s in the Post?’ or ‘Time for Tom?’ which is a bit of a miss as the post bag is filling up and Tom Waits still doesn’t email me his tunes J

But in tonight’s show I will be playing my favourite instrumental of the year, ‘ Lost Lula’ by Pharis and Jason Romero off their album ‘Long Gone Out West Blues’
Lots of banjo in tonight’s show as well which can only be a good thing ;)
