During a very boring commute recently, I put this playlist together.

Just two rules:
1. The song must start with a drum before anything else
2. Only one song per artist

Enjoy! 🥁

Yes I actually took a wrong turn out of North Acton station and that's how I came across it! Seemed like another world.

I don't really have as strong an interest in other British cities. I'm sure there are plenty of others on the iPlayer though.
