I always loved the way you could go from something like Tasavallan Presidentti to The Jam and Elton John in the same programme.


Your link had auto-play on and so I got to hear Wigwam after https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL7AqYop2a4 which was much more my thing. (Get past the initial singing)

Amazing, 2 Finnish bands, doing music of a type I really like, that I had never heard of before

Slarti, check out Wigwam's Nuclear Nightclub...I think the frontman Jim Pembroke was and is a genuine Britt.

... a genuine Britt.

No, that doesn't even look right. A Britt? Looks better with one t ie Brit.


A genuine Englishman.

Ah - the old quirky, vintage films. 40 years just fell away - "Trampled Underfoot" never looked or sounded better.

I hope this wasn't here yet.

Wow - Albert Lee is like a fine old wine - just sublime. Kiki Dee and Gary Numan can still cut the mustard. One or two of the coach guests little bit corked - but overall a great 3 hours with whispering Bob.

Absolutely loved it. Jools continues to go down the pan, he's no substitute. All over Europe and America the gig scene thrives with so many great British Indie bands playing to sold out venues and festivals. The Beeb just ignores them and all we get is Ed, mindless Saturday night 'Opportunity Knocks' clones and a torrent of rubbish. Thank the lord for the gem tbat is R6 Music which the corporates tried to kill off…
