263 By The Book 4: Bands with names taken from literature

Our fourth set of literary songs took a different tack and here it is the bands whose names are derived from literary references.  Quite a wide variety of genres with a heavy leaning towards Sixties Prog.  Maybe they were the only ones reading literature and who wanted obscure punning references….

Peak 26 listener connections, a very good number for Thanksgiving weekend.  Thanks to our loyal fans 🙂

262 Tea or Coffee

As promised, a hot-beverage themed show, assembled by our friend Nigel and heavy on the jazz.  Well appreciated by our audience, with at most 23 connections to the channel – we like it when that happens.

137R Dave Pegg 2

A second show to complete our run through the career of Dave Pegg, heavy on Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull, but also featuring quite a few of his many notable collaborations, along with some solo stuff.

The postshow began with a 2022 track from the new Jethro Tull album, The Zealot Gene, rather apposite for today.  Yes, Ian Anderson has reformed a Jethro Tull, despite having very publically disbanded it a while ago.

261 Van Morrison part 1

A two-part collection assembled by Hugh,with part 1 containing early stuff from Them, live tracks from the middle of his career, and tracks from the last eight years of his output – and he’s still active.

Some technical difficulties hit us during the show, and the stream dropped at one point.  22 listeners max, with 15 coming back and holding on till the end.

133R Dave Pegg part 1

The first part of a two-part show on Dave Pegg of Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull fame, and we included some of his session work too.  A smaller audience than usual, left us a bit puzzled.  Surely not everybody is out being political in America?

260 Transports of Delight: Boats.

A great show, concentrating on boats as a means of transport, with contributions from Hugh and Malaclypse and assembled by myself.  For some reason the audience was slow to build and didn’t reach our usual numbers – perhaps the end of Summer had everyone laid out?  Peak listeners 15, so not that bad.
