Bright Times...

A great big oooof

Used to play this or Rain and Snow off the same Lp out a bit when I did a regular folk funk night. Banger.

That is great. Ta dub
@AlexD get some more folk funk bangers up.
New to me

Less folky than Pentangle, but definitely similar vibes:

Link Wray - Fire and brimstone was a big spin back in the day! Great LP (also his ‘beans and fatback’ is more of the same)

Woah waitacottonpickinminutehere
Didn't you once rip the piss out of me on here after spotting me just having bought a Pentangle record?

BTW I don't have a guest for Sunday 7th ... anyone fancy rocking up?

Actually going to see if Digger can do it... he's sore as he reckons I played 1hr20 and he played 40mins of our 2 hr 'B2B'...

I’m definitely up for submitting a mix remotely soon. I’ll escape the Christmas family time vortex and get one recorded, hopefully!

I was given their 'basket of light' album last year. I haven't listened to it yet

Raving about popular beat combo "The Pentangle" he was.

Hardly my sickest burn

👍

Fair

@Digger and I will be on musicboxradio.co.uk tomorrow from 1-3, hope you can join us. I'll be playing some dub-adjacent music first. Digger is a law unto himself.

“A law unto himself”
No truer words.

That’s why we love him!

Lovely day (first in ages) to spend the middle of the day in a basement 🤦🏻

Hope you can join us at 1…

Lovely bit of U-Roy in there!

Yea, I enjoyed that!

Going to fly solo next week I think, I've got this puppy that's totally running our lives, can't even sit down for half an hour without her chewing somehing or generally making mayhem, and I want to play some new edits and other new /new-old records I've hardly had a chance to hear. Been absolutely loving the wierd long edits at the mo, just discovered some great DJ Nature and Pete Blaker stuff, and some weird old tunes around the electronic/disco axis. too. Hope some of you might join me for a mellow start to Sunday afternoon.
