A look at the music of this evergreen and long-serving singer and songwriter, who’s still touring today. We looked mostly at the earlier parts of his career with our show. Maybe there’s a part 2 to come 🙂

283 Van Morrison 2 – The Eighties
A selection of Van Morrison’s tracks from the Eighties, a time when he was more esoteric and spiritual in his works, but not without some more firey stuff.

Van Morrison in his Eighties
Actually, that’s in the eighties, as we will be looking at his output in that decade. The bad news is, it’s the 1980s. The good news is, he paid for an actual drummer.

158R An Evening with Stephen Sondheim
We do promise you something different, and this show was an example. A set of superb musical theater songs from original cast recordings for the most part, recalling the life’s work of a truly original composer and lyricist.
The preshow consisted of interpretations of the songs from West Side Story by a range of artists, showing how wide his influence was.

282 Oddly Entertaining
A show to keep you on your toes, with unrepresentative tracks from bands, some well known, others not so, but all entertaining none the less. Assembled by our good friend Martin Lewis, to whom we owe great thanks.

Oddly Entertaining
This week’s theme is the odd track out—bits that are so far away from an artist’s regular output that they should, by all standards, have been by another aritst.

157R Going Dutch
Prog rock from the Netherlands in the early Seventies, a show curated for us by Martin Lewis. Deliberately without Focus, having had a show about them recently, but we did relent and had them in the preshow.

281 Laura Nyro
A look at the songs and performances of one of the most under-appreciated songwriters and singers of the late sixties, a poet, wearing her heart on her sleeve and performing her songs with unbridled conviction and honesty. 20 listeners joined us, a good number these days. The preshow was of Laura’s songs performed by and being hits for other people, and the postshow was Laura live.
