rescuing musical virtue in distress.
Okay, I missed last week so this is another long list. But sometimes you can have both quality and quantity and this is one of those times. So have a listen, explore the artists back catalogues, buy a CD... think of it as a warm up for getting back out to gig going. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3nJQo0ZEhJiWXtmw4zqaUQ?si=0baaef6d80a4479b
Again, it has been a while between playlists so expect this one to be longer than usual, but no less full of great music to listen to and new artists to explore and support. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2wO76d9FVz3D0o4vMUynkk?si=c00144261673454e

Few artists seemed to take as many risks during their career as David Bowie. And, sadly, for every sonic high of ‘Hunky Dory’, Station to Station’ or ‘Heroes’ there was a misjudgement in the shape of ‘Never Let Me Down’, ‘Black Tie, White Noise’ or his foray into the band that was Tin Machine. But... Continue Reading →
