Connections II—The Edmunds Empire

Only minimally remastered from its first airing six years ago, we will re-run our second look at the sometimes weird interconnections of all things Rock, this time centred on Dave Edmunds.

190 Lost in 2021

Our now regular annual show celebrating those artists who left us in the past year.  A wide selection this year, which is both depressing and uplifting.  We also lost Grandbad from the cavern, and said goodby to him as well.

The show was compiled with input from Malaclypse, Hugh and Alan, and in the combination of our stashes we covered a wider variety than ever before.
