Continuing my catch up, here’s info on my show on the 18th which unfolded in two parts. First of all I played with a new style of Meandering which took on less random directions and hear some connections between songs. In the first hour I flowed through a natural progression of what I guess you could call alternative rock from Jane’s Addiction, through Faith No More & The Chili Peppers, through a Black Crowes/Rolling Stones style intervention to more obviously connected songs by Velvet Revolver, Stone Temple Pilots & Guns ‘N’ Roses. It was really enjoyable and I’m looking forward to playing around with it in future shows in other genres of music.

In the second hour I had the great pleasure in catching up with Yinka Oyewole from Sabatta, a good friend who joined me on the show last year and now they have a new album out. He was on the phone live from New York where he’s been playing some gigs, meeting lots of lovely people and generally getting good promotion for the new album which we heard four songs from during the show. He spoke about the process behind making the new album and had a few stories to tell about the night life in New York compared to the UK!
