As mentioned at the end of last week, it’s that time of the year when I head off on holiday and will be unlikely to keep on top of all things TVV.
It’s going to be a bunch of hour-long mixes for much of the next two weeks, but the usual weekend features will be there to break things up. Just over half of the mixes will be new under the Holiday Hymns banner, but I’m also fishing out some golden oldies that haven’t been available to download for a few years.
One of the first mixes I did when I started getting back into the habit. This dates from August 2016, and the title reflects that I went very slightly over the hour-mark.
It was put together as part of a series that was intended to see me through a then upcoming plane journey to Toronto. It’ll likely be the only one from that era, as many of the others have Morrissey singing away at some point or other…..

Now, if that compilation was to come on – in say a cafe, in which I was with a friend – I’d be conflicted. My focus would be on this music. No doubt.

That is a goooood mix. If that came on in a cafe I’d settle in for the day/night. That Kenikie tune. Be still my beating heart
