LIST 08 - 30/05/2009

Hello again,

Delighted to include a double helping of Sparks songs this time, old and new. If only all bands could sound as vital over 30 years into their careers as both Sparks and Cardiacs (also included) do. Marvellous efforts.

Hello again,

Oops, so much for roughly weekly updates! It's been a mad old month. 

Anyhoo, here is the other half of the Annie Nightingale Request Show tribute list - looks a bit more quirky than part one on balance.
