Is This Thing On Podcast 59

As I explain, a bit late this week…

I kick off with an amazing track by the marvelous Marvin B Naylor with a track called Boy Became a Man that I recorded live at a Pure Acoustica event at The White Swan In Winchester.

I followed that up with great track called Flowers by Southampton ban The Lost Boys

The picture above shows how this weeks Unplug The Jukebox with Paul Lane was recorded…

A lovely piece of jazz by the sublime Matt Erion Trio leads me in to an interview with the wonderful Helen Austin a Brit in a land similar to Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, probably..She makes a few bucks (Canadian) by getting her tunes on tv shows and adverts.

Another live tune this time by Southampton’s Uke Supergroup The Spiraltones

I mentioned the forthcoming Xmas bumper special. If you want to send a dedication then email me at isthisthingonpodcast@gmail.com with some audio or just an email and I will read it out on the bumper Xmas show. DEADLINE will be Friday 17th December so get recording and emailing and stuff , remembering to put XMAS in the subject header.

Is This Thing On Lite #2 Jazz

Is This Thing On lite

This is the second in a  series of mini podcasts aimed at being inserted as a feature in existing podcasts and radio shows and  lasts just five minutes.

It features three tracks played on the Is This Thing On Podcast 41 Jazz Special.

First off is Sigurdor Guomundsson with his amazing tune that translates into English as “Running on Empty”

Second is one of mine “Can’t Get Happy” taken from my album Life is a River

I finish off with the great Rainier Straschill who I inadvertently call “Rainier”. He is a prince though!

This feed is still in the experimental stage. If you can subscribe and give your opinions and any advice etc I would be most grateful and I hope you enjoy

UPDATE

This has now been inserted into the legendary podcaster Richard Vobes daily podcast
