Branch Out and John Peel

I recorded this week's show this afternoon as I wanted to attend as much of the Branch Out Festival as possible. The pre-record was fairly easy/lazy as I had already prepared the John Peel Day section that was going to take over the whole second hour. As a fan of Fuzzbox, I obviously wanted to play a song in tribute to Jo Dunne, who died two days ago. I gave the rest of the first hour over to Nottingham's finest, who were all performing today.

I Am The Wind

I had the most appalling wind this evening, but thankfully I'd blown it all out before my guest arrived.

I'm Not Here

By radio magic, I managed to be both on air providing the best possible musical choices and across town at The Rescue Rooms at the same time. It's not actual magic, it was a pre-recorded show because I was watching The Beat.

All By Myself

Penny should be glad of her perfect timing, as a weekend of Goose Fair food had given me the most powerful wind that I just couldn't contain. An airtight studio was not the ideal place to see out my weekend. Talking of Goose Fair, the rock and roll medley at the beginning, and the song 'Band Of Gold' at the end are in honour of fairground music.
