Catch up (in) lockdown

Today whilst trying to catch up with the last couple of episodes of This is a Music Show we came across some belters. The first was a dub of John Holt‘s Win Your Love. Then there was a track by Sketch Show called Ekot. This made us head over to their Loophole LP and listen to the whole thing. It’s something else, it really is.

There’s more including B sides, a great tune by the boxer Joe Frazier and Bob Andy’s Sun Shines for me. Pop over to the new look website here and check the show for some excellent tuneage. You won’t be disappointed!  #shortwavesnotdead  #thisisamusicshow

A big shout to Your Host of the excellent shortwave radio programme This is a Music Show for earlier this year turning us on to a cracker of tune Night Owl by Lee & The Clarendonians with a wonderful version on the B side.

Today whilst going through a couple of shows we missed over the festive period another version of the rhythm by Roy Richards called Dead and Wake was played. Another firecracker of a track!

And as if by magic we found another version on youtube by the great Dennis Alcapone called Fine Style.

And here’s the original doo-wop version by Tony Allen & The Champs.

And talking of This is a Music Show here’s the last two episodes featuring the best of Your Host’s thrift show finds from 2020. These shows will definitely cheer you up especially after tonight’s rubbish news of another bloomin’ lockdown a loomin’ (until mid February) here in the UK. #anotherlockdownaloomin #thisisamusicshow #shortwavesnotdead
