Sunday 31st May 2009

Last day of Autumn, days are getting colder, nights are getting longer. What better time to go out and brave the elements to catch some live music in a warm pub around a fireplace? Don't be scared, the pay off is even greater when you have to do scary things like put on gore tex before you can see your fave performers.

This week I co-hosted with Scott Davis again, not wearing his police uniform this time, but brandishing a bunch of great music.

We had a Farnsey Trifecta, to celebrate the return of The Voice to the touring circuit (who would've thunk it really wouldn't be the Last Time?), an interview with Joe Neptune, and a chat with Charles Jenkins about his Blue Atlas Winter Ball.
