We continue to dip into the promos that have appeared since June, and of course the ancient having vacuumed out the dusty part of the archives... that part ignored by others..... and discovering some gems. WRT the latter, come up with some 60's adverts performed by 3 different bands of the period (and I'm saving The Who's contribution to this obscure musical genre for some weeks). Somethings from the 2024 and 2023 Mercury Prize winners, English Teacher and Ezra Collective. Still loving the new jazz arrnagements coming from Morgan Guerin; fusion from multi-instrumentalist Tenk Van Dool also by Mike Stern, Brit jazz by 137. Three tune entitled 'Albatross'. Annual plays of favorites by Grand Funk Railroad and New Zealand's Lamp Of The Universe. And then much more.

Next week a fiddle special too.

Hi All

It's quite some time since we had a ALT2 Show dedicated to the violin. Tonight 'Fiddle Special No.2' arrives. So rock, folk, avant, blues, blue grass, classical and jazz fiddles are represented. In some cases the violinist is guesting on another musician's album. I'll leave you to check out the playlist provided below.

Next week another special, concentrating on music made and released in 1970, IMO a important pivot point in the history of rock.

3 years ago I did a special concentrating on the popular music that was recorded and/or released in 1970, and that's where we go back  tonight, avoiding we what we played in 2021. 1970 was a year when many more bands appeared (to quote Kevin Gilbert: 'and made a record or two'), but few to last more than 24 months. But these bands contributed to a new heady mix - most were experimenting fusing different musical genres and in some cases employing new instruments not previous heard in rock music. Indeed things were literally progressing. So tonight a mix of established musicians/groups by 1970 and the newbies, who amazed and delighted those of us around at the time.

Back after a very brief spell in hospital and now feeling right as rain: thank you NHS..

Tonight celebrating the life of the late Nick Gravenites, who's voice and many compositions I've enjoyed for a long time. Something from the new album by last year's Mercury Prize winner The Ezra Collective. Something for Bruce and from prog history, a long piece of the 1969 album by Touch. Lots more newish releases of newish recordings. Something I'm noticing, record company companies searching archives for  unreleased live recording and issuing these some 40-50 years later, (Christmas is coming),  so tonight the great Mahavishnu Orchestra at Yale Uni - possibly others in the weeks to come. As ever a lovely mix of genres.

Hello Everybody

The mix of new with old is back again. A long anticipated 'Joni Mitchell Archives (Vol 4)' has arrived and I will be sampling in the weeks to come, so at last a chance to sample the rehearsal recordings of 'Mingus', with musicians not heard on the final album. Nu fusion from Americo-Aussie band Uncle Moe's Space Ranch. Something in Welsh! Other new material for Gren Bartley, Julie Square, etc..Continuing with the reminder that the Moog synth appeared 60 years ago. The second half hour of the show is ''what have these track got in common''... alas no prizes? And why a couple of weeks ago, did I forget the Who did a spoof albums with real ads: making up for it tonight. With the 50th Anniversary of King Crimson's influential 'Red' album, a singular but long  track from it to finish the show.
