Radio Shows

It's the Friday Session Introducing... The top tracks from 2008!

1. The Irony: A Man's Fears

The Evesham outfit whose sound underwent a renaissance after the addition of keyboards - not only mine but one of Tibbers' favourites of the year!

2. Dandelion Killers: Golden Age

Another classic from the Ross threesome who've been a permanent fixture in every one of my Yuletide hit-lists!

3. The Donns: Home Truths

This number usually kicks off the Worcester 24-hour party people's set - nice to have an airwave-friendly offering from the sometimes risqué ska-poppers!

4. Tastyhead: Surgery

This is the number the controversial Hereford outfit had just started when the power was pulled on them at the Wyeside festival - so here's a chance to hear it in full!

5. The Atats: Hey! Little Suzy

Sparkling little number from the Worcester rock'n'rollers who are heading for the big time in '09 - they're appearing in the national final of the Big Red Battle in February!

6. We Do Kung Fu!: All Fall Down

Not yet even down on record - but one of the highlights of the kicking live show from the Hereford band of all the talents.

7. Roxanne De Bastion & The Happy Havenots: It Flew By

A delicious little number from the Berlin/Worcester outfit (sadly no longer gigging) that was just too late to be included in last year's top ten - guitarist Ben is now illuminating Highway 5 and Absolute Ataxia!

8. The Elements: Hallelujah

Now this number bends the Friday Session rules as yes it's yet another cover of 'that' song - but it's what the Kington pop-rockers have been closing their set with for the past year - in only 2 minutes 11 seconds!

9. Skankbox: Crime Of The Century

Another risqué little number that’s awaiting a radio edit from the Worcester  ska-punkers - the fastest improving act I've seen this year!

10. SmokeStack: Smoking Blues

Classic blues-rock from the Bromyard outfit fronted up by sisters Scarlett on vocals and the awesome talents of Ebony on guitar.
