DJ Readman History of Record Shop Series and More

Fantastic, Pop Jazz trio from America/ Italy. The trio contacted me last year with their album, Edge of Everything. The sound reminded me instantly of 80s pop jazz act, Swing Out Sister, who have more of a pop jazz undercurrent Gretas Bakery return in 2013 with another stunning album, Under Control.

All the companies that are on their list, can't go direct, which is really irritating. It should be a lot easier than this to have choice and where to go to for possible cheap accommodation. I work part time, i garden...

This blog is a little later tha planned.  I have been working and a little less time these days. Continuing from the website and the great feedback we had from the appearance of English musician, living in Ireland, Jonny Cooke I first heard about Jonny through, Simon Dwight, who performed on the show in the summer (2013). Jonny Cooke, uses the same engineer, Van Gabriel, as Simon, for his album, Strange Days. I had never spoken or met Jonny before, only on Facebook I had heard his music, broadcast it, but not much else. He agreed to come all the way from Ireland to performed. I found out it didn't cost him that much and he stopped overnight in Milton Keynes, where he used to live. This was the last time we were going to use General Foods Social Club rehearal room, due to the cold weather coming in with the time of year.
