Second successive day for a one-hour mix. Apologies if they’re not your sort of thing. I promise there won’t be another for a while.

Second time I’ve seen Blues for Ceausescu referenced this week. Awesome song .
Whenever I see a list of Irish bands on a comp I always look out for In Tua Nua, and they’re never there! Great comp none the less, but would have made my day if this was included https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InmR5R1X428
I’m going to put up some Brian this weekend. So underrated. Thanks for the inspiration. A hell of a mix.
