Really? I have no interest in Dylan but, to read my Twitter feed this morning, you’d have thought everyone just witnessed the Second Coming.

It took me several listens @Chrisf. I’ve had the review copy for 6 weeks, and it’s only in the last 2 or 3 weeks that it has really hit home.

Well, I might see you on the road, @retropath2. I’m doing all 7 dates.

You’re right – life would be boring if we all liked the same things. I wouldn’t have you down as a BBT fan, @SteveT. I think you need a background in 70’s Prog as a starting point.

Welcome to Brighter Future by The Sails, their 6th album in 15 years, (plus this year’s Best of 2006 to 2021 compilation, Bang,) and, for me, their best so far. I was lucky enough to […] -

Nicky Horne from 4pm, weekdays is a good show. Avoid Les Ross, Sunday 10am. My wife used to love him and, whenever we were travelling up to Walsall to see her family, would tune into him as soon as she could.
