Another weird week of weather, sun and rain….. which is confusing me; don’t know about you, is it cold or not, dry or wet. None the less music was a good as ever, with tracks old and new and the 1st UK airplay of a song called The Woods’ from a Norwegian band called Frost.
Twofers this week came from Kate bush, to celebrate a new piece of work from the legendary Singer-Songwriter, called ‘Snow’. So we played – ‘Army Dreamers’ and her recent single ‘Deeper Understanding’.
