Warm your aging bones on my jazzy-spasm. Lots of horns....jazzy and funky. Big Bands, soloists, instrumentalists and vocal mentalists. Listen out for Matthew Halsall's epic trumpeting.  - definitely a favourite right now.....

Soul-pudding Pie

I have been a busy boy. Here is the soul/blues/jazz/country mix I meant to put together when I got sidetracked by the spice melange and the realms of deepest space.

Journey To Arrakis

I set out to make a mix of the soul/funk/disco/blues that I'd been listening to recently, but got sidetracked straight away by Toto's Dune intro. That led me towards another galaxy entirely and what came out the other end is this...it's not really space mix, more of a kind-of music from the outer-rims mix....it does occasionally get a tad intense, but see it out as the second half is fantastic, particularly the two Japanese tracks and the Vangelis tracks.

Two miles of earth for a marking stone...

Here's another of my okey-dokey-folky-pokeys. It's been a couple of years since the last one. Hopefully some of you are still listening and hopefully a tad more plinky-plonk and hooty-toot will strike a chord or at least get you to hunt down that cardy you all know you have somewhere. It's kind of a Davy Graham tribute. His version of Sally Free And Easy has rapidly become one of my favourites..........hey-nonny-no spectrummers!
