In a possible futile attempt to divert attention away from cake and politics, I thought I’d start a thread about music. We are an eclectic bunch , so it should stand that we have a wide and varied taste. So what’s your “go to” at the moment?
I’ve recently discovered the wonderful raw talent of Morgan Wade.
Such a gritty voice and from the heart songwriting. Country is not to everyone’s taste I know. And by god is she fit.

Absolute radio 90s
-
The “absolute” channels are good value. They take all the thought out of selecting music of course. Random can be very very good. I see today there is everything from Placebo to fat boy slim.
-
The Hives
The Offspring
Limp Bizkit
And Absolute Radio
-
Absolute 80's
-
Tinnitus

If you are enjoying the female country vocals then you should try listening to Larkin Poe

Had a Google search she's a bit scribbled on for my taste

Literally at this moment its John Martyn, eclectic singer/songwriter with a unique guitar style.
Or if you want some new and up and coming - Henry Parker, pscy/folk singer/songwriter from Keighley. He has a few club gigs booked in the area, well worth a lookout (if you like that so sort of thing)
The next gig I have booked is Gong
-
Hamish Hawk. He reminds me of a young Neil Hannan.
-
Frank Turner
Ferocious Dog
Will Varley
Jess Silk
Beans on Toast
To name a few.

Gold , just had David Cassidy on , How can I be sure, with me singing along at the top my voice, good job I work in a big warehouse
-
Union Jack radio.

I’m not a huge fan of tattooed girls. That said, the lass that features on American Pickers ain’t too shabby either.

I've not really been listening to much new stuff lately.

If you like the Glam era, search for the genre ‘Junkshop Glam’. It’s like Glam but bands that only made a couple of records and look like their mum’s made their clothes. The bands have shit names like ‘Hobnail’, ‘Warwick’ and worse, but they knock out some great slices of glam based pop.
Also check out Giuda, an Italian, junkshop glam, boot boy band who constantly tour the world. (Not for the last couple of years lol).
I saw them just before lockdown and they were the tightest band I’ve ever seen.

You told me Sing Something Simple with the Cliff Adams singers was worth listening to on a Sunday Evening on the Beeb
