It is quite good.

“Strange Brew” (9-11 pm BST) - another wander round the Old Curiosity Shop of Tunes, - “Nostalgia” section.
Taking a look at those 60s “Revival” artists in their promotion of singer-songwriterishness – Dylan was not alone.
Don’t worry, I haven’t abandoned the present-day.

That looks like A Very Nice Island.

Thursday, 5 June means that between 21.00 and 23.00 it's “Strange Brew”. www.folkfridayradio.com

We shall be double tracking songs, to explore what we mean by label-free. So: different versions of some “classics”.

And newish, 2025 recordings from Green Diesel, Alex Roberts, and more.

There’s a Brew waiting at 6 p.m. today - another tour round the shelves, alcoves, nooks and crannies of the Old Curiosity Shop of Tunes.

New: from Heidi Talbot, Siiga, Alison Krauss, Trip, plus the usual plethora of unusual or revered music.

“Strange Brew” (www.td1radio.scot) 18.00 – 20.00 BST

Strange Brew this evening,18.00 – 20.00: 2 hours of excellent music.
Some fine new material from Green Diesel, I’m With Her, Merry Hell, John Smith, Jon Wilks, Findlay Napier and Eliza Delf, but much else besides. There are even several nods to the Psychedelic 60s.

And you hear all the latest Brew on Mixcloud:

Back to normal for "Strange Brew" tonight - a brand-new playlist, loads of 2025 tunes, a strong Euro-presence (no, not that) and some general wandering-all-over-the-place.
www.folkfridayradio.com 21.00 - 23.00 BST.

Bombard him with questions about his views on potholes, local services, care facilities and any other local authority responsibilities that are relevant. Demand to know how "Stop the Boats" will help such issues as waste disposal. When he displays his ignorant prejudices, shout loud and clear.

Just over an hour to get yourself settled down for two hours of gently-challenging tunes in "Strange Brew" - folkfridayradio.com - 21.00 - 23.00 BST - 17 April.
Entirely genre-fluid.
