106R Pink Floyd IV

The final and concluding part of the History, brought closer to the previous parts than before so  you can remember what’s gone before.

A faithful audience of up to 15 stayed the course and were rewarded with Hey Hey Rise Up, the song recorded to support the Ukrainian Relief Fund.

222 World Music – Roots Music

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.

World Music

This week, we are going to take a look at what people around the world experience as contemporary music, with examples from all parts of Africa, Asia, the Americas as well as Europe.

088R Hook, Line and Sinker

A second selection of tracks with memorable musical hooks, opening phrases that grab your attention and make you want to Turn It Up.

Peaked at 21 listeners, perhaps affected by it being Mother’s Day in the UK – but nowhere else – and the time change for US listeners caused by Europe and the UK having not gone to DST while the US has.  One of these days we’ll stop doing this.

221 Ladies of Jazz

A very nice and laid-back collection of players and singers from the last fifty years, all ladies performing in the jazz genre.  Assembled by Hugh, who reckons it’s one of his best, and the team agreed.

Ladies of Jazz

This week’s show continues the theme of International Women’s Day by looking at the great Ladies of Jazz. Also, because of the recurring insanity of Daylight Saving Time, the show will be an hour later than usual for our North American listeners, who will already have switched to DST. So, the pre-show starts 13:30 KI time.
