As another year comes to a close it is time to put together my lists of recommended albums and there have been plenty of excellent new releases from artists old and new to choose from. Despite the inevitable lack of time to really give all the albums I'm sent a proper listen, artists who I've found myself going back to include Johny Corrigan, Fabian Holland, Annie Keating, The Kennedys, Danni Nicholls, Rab Noakes and Vanessa Peters.
Thanks to Geraint Jones for the steady stream of downloads throughout the year and to Jane Brace, Bob Buchan and Martin Hadden for the CDs. And thanks also to the musicians who have sent me copies of their music.
The news from Beyond Radio is that they have found a premises in the centre of Lancaster for their studios and office but a fair amount of work needs doing before they can start broadcasting. If you've got any spare cash please consider making a donation on their Crowdfunder page...
Wishing all my listeners a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!
