This week’s outing will see eye to eye with songs concerned with the, er, eye.

Live and Direct
This week, we will delve into live performances. Particularly, ones that are regarded as being better than the studio recordings of the same tracks. So, pump up your air guitar, put on some solid footwear, fill up your lighter, and get ready for occasional headbanging. Also, if you’re the moshpit type, wear beerproof clothes.

Lost in 2024
Time for our yearly look back at those great artists that we lost in the last year. As usual, not all artists can be featured, and not all names on the roster will be instantly recognisable to everybody. All, however, have left their mark in the world of music, shaping what we hear today.

Lost In 2019
Wait, you’ll say. Aren’t you a few years late for that show?
Well—actually, no. We’ve dusted it off, polished it somewhat and are going to air it out a little in the run-up to the show a week later, which will feature those great artists we lost in 2024. But to get the new year started, we’ll take a look back five years on the 5th of January.

264 A Christmas Carol
On Sunday 15th we will take as our theme the Dickensian tale of a miserly man visited by four ghosts on Christmas Eve to persuade him that he needs to change his future. Our telling of A Christmas Carol will be accompanied by music to illustrate scenes from the text, some of it festive, some less so, but bringing us to a happy ending as this is our final show for 2024.
Join the team in the cavern and on the stream for our festive entertainment.
Tom Waits
This week’s show takes a look at the ongoing career of singer-songwriter Tom Waits, including some things he wrote for other artists, some things other artists have covered, and, of course, Tom Waits’ own recordings.

By The Book, Chapter 4
This week, we will throw the book at you again. This time, we will present artists, rather than songs, with literary names. Strangelove enough, the Decameron is missing, but we’ll leave the Doors open for any Supertramps.

The John/Taupin Files
This week’s show will present the work of the songwriting team of Bernie Taupin and Reginald Dwight (aka Elton John), showing not just Elton John’s own recordings, but highlighting songs they have written for other artists.

Coffee or Tea?
This week’s show will be appropriate to the time of year: songs about hot drinks. There’s quite some variety in there!
