Also featuring the return of Edward II!

Yes, intriguing.  I reckon it will include an FC60 component (but they can't say so because of them needing to flog Cropredy tickets).

Another thumbs up for Hippies, Thugs and Heroes.
Wow! Where did this come from?
Great songs with no filler, excellent sound with a consistency across the album that makes listening to it almost like being at a gig and, of course, superb playing throughout.
Even the singing is a revelation, with a confidence in Richard's voice I've never heard before.
It's a shame about the fade on Pauper's Grave, but that's a minor quibble. Fantastic album.

Nice chat with RT, and with David Hepworth not being as obstreperous as he can be. Includes diet and football coaching tips!

First showing on next year's SFF, with an intriguing listing for RT.

Given his proximity and appearance on the latest RT offering, I suspect John Kirkpatrick might be involved.

Nice hat!

There are not many shots of the band featuring Paul Warren...

Hurry, before its gone!

Throwing  Muses :  Their debut, self titled from 1986.

I like most of what they do, but I've struggled with my old CD of this. Very harsh brittle, early CD  sound. The material - l'll just say it is uncompromising . This reissue is in all the usual formats except cassette.

Tonight, 9pm 'til 12am :

I'll be hosting Scattering The Roots 9pm 'til 12am, playing the usual tasty blend of folk, roots, blues, etc...plenty of etc... but not as regular listeners know it...

My esteemed Express FM colleague, Ian James, is taking on a 60 hour charity broadcasting radiothon, and I'll be joining him between 9pm and 12am to host my regular show **live** - expect some excellent tune-age and chat...

We had such a good time doing this in 2025, we decided to do it again for Ian's latest Radiothon in 2026.

Ian & I will be joined for our session by Express FM's Miles Henson, and I'm sure we'll both be heartily encouraging Ian in his fundraising endeavours.

Ian started his Radiothon at 6am this morning and will continue live on-air until 6pm on Friday 30th, remaining awake and behind the microphone for the full duration.
The three charities being supported each play a significant part in the local community :

Sophie's Legacy

The Elizabeth Foundation

You can tune in throughout the marathon on 93.7 FM, DAB+ Digital Radio, online or on Alexa.
