Catch-up compilation

I thought I'd put together a playlist of songs from albums I've either overlooked or only played one track from. Sometimes it is difficult to keep up with all the new music I'm sent, sometimes it is too country or more electric than acoustic and at other times I'll listen to an album, not be in the mood for it and forget about it. A case in point is The O's. Listening to the track I've selected here makes me want to go back and give their album another listen. 

Rather than select tracks at random I've gone for the shortest tracks on each album, which I suppose is a bit random but I don't have the time to listen to all these albums from start to finish!

Hope you enjoy this selection. The next edition of the Folk and Acoustic Music Show will be going out on Monday the 1st September at the usual time of 9pm on Acoustic Spectrum Radio.

Tune in at 9pm to hear...
