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!

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.

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?

Dave Pegg

This week’s show will be concerned with multiinstrumentalist singer-songwriter and producer Dave Pegg, who may be more familiar to everybody as the bassist of Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull. He also did some pretty nifty solo work, though.

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.

Transports of Delight, take 3

“It’s a plane!”—”It’s a train!”—”No, it’s… a boat!”

The third section of our transportation-oriented series brings us to where there is only a thin sheet of metal between us and the water. There will be all sorts of modes of transportation, historical as well as contemporary.
