23 May - Show Dedicated to the loss in Manchester

Hi all

I was unwell for this week's show and sleeping a lot to recover.  I woke up and heard the horrible news on Manchester so I thought I'd put a show together of a few tunes that reflected how I felt about this horrible act of violence and tragic loss of life.

These are my thoughts through the titles of the tunes and/or the lyrics within in them so if I offend anybody this was not the intention.  Hoping the artist are all OK with their tunes being included?

16 May- Ooops late again but maybe worth a listen??... if you like new releases and some little unknown Folk and Blues tunes for you

Hi all

Yes apologies as last show's blog is a little late so continuing my confusion to you all.  Hopefully not in the quality of the more obscure Folk and Blues tunes for you to listen to this week.

I was out and about in North Devon last weekend at Winkleigh Morris Weekend of Dance.. top event and great friendly people.  And next week its Chippenham Folk Festival for yet MORE Morris.  So I could be a bit late in listening to all of last week's tunes in #WhatsInThePost although the #MorrisRoundUp is still as strong as ever, #Time4Tom is a different matter ;)

ARTIST .............................. TRACK  
Eddie Bo and Chris Barber .. She Gan San
Cormac Begley .................... Reels - Paddy Canny's Pigeon On The Gate / The Diary Maid
Jim Koepple ......................... Johnny's In The Doghouse
Ange Hardy ......................... The Berkshire Tradegy
The Outsiders Uk ................. Loose Connections
The Moonlit Poachers ......... The Loneley Ones
Tom Dale ............................. Little Birdy
Twisted Twenty ................... Ruileadh mo Nighean Conn - Cuir I Gluin Air a Bodach
Harrow Fair ......................... Harrow Fair Pig Auction / The Hunt
