17 January - And back to the Folk and Blues for 2017 - with a dip back into 2016 for the ones I missed !!

Hi all

Well we're deep into January 2017 and Xmas seems years away so I'll have to start digging into the New Year's 'What's In The Post?' post..... although some post is still unopened from December and I've got some tunes from artists I still ought to play from 2016 so.... gettin' through it!

Straight in for the New Year is the brand new CD 'STEAL' from Wille and The Bandits, and as they're good friends of mine I thought I'd give them some airplay and play a few tunes from it, as I'm sure are several other station presenters of said blues / rock ilke.

TRACK ...................................................... ARTIST
Miles Away ................................................. Wille and The Bandits
All My Running ........................................... Elizabeth Laube
Ride on Red .................................................. Rusty Jacks
The Cherry Tree / Dog's Git an Itchy Nose .. Ewam Mcpherson
Next To Me (Duet with Ellis Hall) ............... Lilly Martin
The Day She Never Cried ............................. Reg Meuross
Living Free ................................................... Wille and The Bandits

3 January 2017 - PART 1 of a 2 part Review of 2016

HI all

Hope you all had a good Xmas.  As a treat I thought I would look back over the past year and play some tunes from all the artists and PR agencies that have sent music into my show.  It was a tough choice; after going through old show track listings I ended up with over 5 hours off tunes I wanted to play but only a one hour show to play them in.  Umm i thought.... best do a second show, any more shows and I'll end up with a big stack of post to get through.

So here is PART 1

TRACK .......................... ARTIST
Unemployment Song ....... Dom Prag
File Away ......................... Matthew The Oxx
Logan County Blues ........ Locust Honey String Band
Kokobello Blues .............. The Alabama King Snakes
Too Fast ........................... Krista Detor
Low .................................. Broken Witt Rebels
Nordaret ........................... The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc
Lay Our Heavy Heads ..... Kelly Oliver
Get In ............................... Robin Bibi
Culan ............................... Jenny Sturgeon
Casanova ......................... Carly Dow
Bratach Bana ................... Kaela Rowan
Lights of Carenco ............ Rod Melancon
Waterloo Sunset .............. Robert Rex Waller Jnr

and here are the piccies................
