At least Frankie has the sense to stay in! Our Sid plays outside and then trails his wet, muddy feet all over the furniture!

Agreed, there are a number of big name bands and musicians that I think I OD'd on maybe 20 or 30 years ago. People like Bowie, Zeppelin and so on. I maybe drop in one or twice a year to listen to them and feel that I've satisfied that itch for another while.

Really sad to hear of the death of Danny Thompson, he provided the bottom line to most of my favourite records. His CV spans jazz, world music, folk, pop, blues and so on. Here's a short video about him.

Brilliant new single from the Bluebells with footage of the International Brigade. It is dedicated to those who fought Franco back then and to those that continue to fight fascism today.

Sorry miss, I'm a day late for the show. Only halfway through and it's a brilliant selection as always! Nice to hear a mention of the ISB celebration next week. Can you play one of their tracks to mark the occasion? How about Painting Box, Witches Hat or Air? Thanks Rx

The first time I visited, it was still part of a building site. I had to climb over a fence to get in. It's great to see some greenery around the stones and landscaping. Although the trees planted may eventually obscure the sightlines. Let me know if you come up, I will meet you there.
