A-Z of Music Pt.1


My first show for 4RFM and I thought I should give it some kind of theme.  For a while I considered debuting with a show themed around beginnings.  It didn't take long to realise how bad an idea that was.  After playing Start Me Up and Like A Virgin I'd begin to hear the barrel being scraped pretty quick.  So, eventually I chose to compile an A-Z of songs I thought could act as an introduction to the boutique, bespoke (?) style of music I'd be playing on future shows.  The show begins with a New York-based Israeli group playing vaguely Balkan music and it finishes with the faintly Irish-sounding Melbourne group Dirty Three playing a tune dedicated to the zither.  Download it by clicking on the title above.
