Episode #1069
2024 was another banner year for music even though a lot of our usual favourites didn’t release new albums. This allowed for some new discoveries and unusual selections. This week’s show looks at some of the many highlights of they year. Here are some of the releases that really caught my ear this year!
I’d love to know what resonated with you this year! Please leave a comment, visit the contact page, or find me on social media and let me know what you liked & didn’t like this year!
This is one of our standby series of pre-recorded episodes that are meant to be timeless, so we can pop them into the schedule again some time when I can’t be at the studio live, so enjoy this one now and again!
