Yes, that’s what it looks like!

A slightly drunk podcast this week, well it is summer and all!

Played some great tunes including The Travis Waltons ~ Millionaire, Good King Friday ~ A Simple Choice, Jason Parker Quartet ~Mance’s Dance, Lewis MacLean ~ A Better Place, April Maybe May ` Sugar & Mess, King Never ~ Sorrow, The Spiraltones  & a track by good old me I’m Gonna Break Your Heart.

Paul Lane from Unplug the Jukebox gave tongue to The Queue and also his opinion on last weeks podcast.

I’d say, all in all a blooming good show.

And what a podcast it is.

I play a great track from Flearoy ~ Tiger Lilly, A track from the new album by Georgian megastars Belizer ~ Autumn and a great new track from Wax Ersatz ~ Out In The Cold.

There then follows a great interview with the talented and groovey Cherry Bluestorms Glen Laughlan (not Craig Mclachlan, idiot!)  and Deborah Gee where they tell me about their new album, playing in America and their parrot Winston. Finishing off with playing a new track from their as yet unfinished album Bad Penny Opera.

As a pallet cleanser I then played a lovely tune by Ernesto Shnack ~Build followed by Doyle and the Forefathers ~When Will The Children Learn.

I ended with a comedy tune that I produced for the Hot Potatoes Comedy Podcast ~ Inflammatory Bowel Disease, lovely.

Have a lovely week until the next one!

A tired and slightly hungover podcast this week. The first three tracks were Mailman ~ The Ones That Got Away, Nen.TE. Psudo ~ Doucement, The Cherry Bluestorms ~ Her Mirror Cracked.

There then followed an interview with the fantastic Anja McClosky, who spoke about her recent tour of America as well as other bits and pieces of her musical life.

Anja was also kind enough to perform an amazing new song ~ Kiss.

After that I played stunning tracks from Marvin B Naylor ~ Alice & Maryanne.

I shot the breeze with Paul Lane from Unplug the Jukebox about the band Something Beginning With L. I then rounded of proceedings with Eastern Conference Champions ~Bloody Bell and a track of mine with Anja accompanying  me on accordion ~ The Day After The Night Before.

Nice!

Paul chose one of mine from The Vinyl Project, bless.

Then, after quaffing some more coffee and munching a few biscuits, we went our separate ways.
