A nicely varied collection covering East, West, North and South and featuring original artists and music from their localities, some traditional, some incorporating modern updates. Went down well with the cavern audience, and listener numbers were up there with our best, 38 at one point and over 30 the whole way through.
The show gave the presenters many more pronunciation challenges than usual, but the team rose to the task, and I don’t think we called anyone a jam doughnut. As promised, here’s the playlist with all the names spelled as they appeared on the packaging, which has meant some cajoling of WordPress to get the right diacratic symbols.
I did not speak for this show, as I am still recovering from a bad cold, liable to cough or sneeze without warning and generally sound like a badly-maintained door.
