14 February 2017 - Blimey!!! Its Valentines Day!! so Like a big softie I am here's some Valentines Folk and Blues

〾Hi all

Well as stated it's Valentines Day so an excuse for a Valentines Day Show for you all.  Not ALL the tracks are thus related but some are.  Hopefully not blindingly obvious but with a slant of heartbreak and lost loves in there as well, hoping as well that I've chosen classic tunes for you.  No What's In The Post? today as I have a 10 minute interview with BBC Folk Awards Horizon Winner 2012 Blair Dunlop when he came to play at Victoria Hall, Radstock as part of his tour.  We discuss his work, music, guitars (obviously) and his musical influences.

We do have Time For Tom?! as no one writes more enduring love songs than Tom Waits.
