Episode #847

This is another in our collection of timeless Standby episodes, which you may hear again sometime when I’m not able to put together a new episode for whatever reason. I’m pretty sure you won’t mind.

Have you ever noticed how many songs there are about or by Charlies? No, seriously, it’s an epidemic or something! You wouldn’t think that Charlie would pop up so often in songs, but we’ve got two hours of Charlies for you, and there are a whole bunch that I had to leave off! Good Times, Charlie!

So, Charlie, whoever you are, this one’s for you!

Episode #845

This is the weekend when we’d normally be off in Germany enjoying our beloved Static Roots Festival, but alas, COVID has ruined everything. Luckily, we’ve got some new music from festival friends & past performers to enjoy. We’ve also got another batch of great new releases to tell you about, and there has been so many this year that I thought we’d take some time halfway through the year to play some songs from some of my favourite 2020 releases thus far.
