A New Order

A couple of Easter parish notices for you. James asked me last week to join him on a little musical side project - compile a playlist no longer than 40 minutes whereby the first track is track one on its respective album, the second track is track two on its album and so on. He said that some otherwise disparate tracks just sit really well together when they are conjoined in this way. I have to concur. This my effort:

John Medd - Everything Appears to be in Order 
 

And this is James'. If you find yourself kicking your heels this Bank Holiday weekend why not have a go yourself? Other streaming providers are of course available. Indeed you may want to dig out an old blank C90 and do it that way; whatever floats your boat.

A new blog was launched this year by renowned geographer Alan Parkinson. It goes by the moniker World of Music and it really is most bodacious. Alan's always on the lookout for guest bloggers who would can intertwine music and geography in some way. If you feel you can give him a dig out I'm sure he'd love to hear from you. My piece on Lost Venues was published yesterday. Feel free to have a gleg. You'll find Alan's contact details there too. Happy Easter!

  1. That's a great idea for people who have too much time on their hands. I'll add it to the retirement list!

  2. I saw the Dubliners in the Folkestone Leas Cliff Hall in 1982, two years after Girl played there. I was a student in Colchester at the time and we booked the tickets in the mistaken belief that Folkestone and Felixstowe were one at the same.
