Listening to coverage of what is already a hugely dramatic last day of the PL season… West Ham up thanks to an incredible Nobes goal! City went down to Brighton, but only for about 15 seconds…
Now playing…
Ketil Bjornstad - A passion for JohnDonne
Ketil Bjørnstad (Piano), Håkon Kornstad (Tenor Saxophone, Flute, Voice), Birger Mistereggen (Percussion) and the Oslo Chamber Choir directed by Håkon Daniel Nystedt
Streaming on NAS… kicking off Sunday morning with Ketil paying homage to the English metaphysical poet John Donne (1572-1631). A collection of peaceful and beautifully composed pieces of music highlighting a number of John Donne poems. A perfect way to start off the day with this very sweet album!
I bought a copy of his book back around 1980, and ever since still rooting for that day i can play 
Incidentally: Bert’s Birthday was the day before yesterday; 10th May 1920

Ketil Bjørnstad (Piano), Randi Stene (Mezzo-Soprano) and Lars Anders Tomter (Viola).
Streaming on NAS… continuing on with Keith with some a mix of Nordic songs and a song cycle based on poetry of John Donne. I do love Ketil’s work and having a mix of music and poetry is something I really enjoy. Another sweet album!
Bert’s days must have been very long.

In my case the day is 50 years long, got the book at 13 and I am still no Eric, but the book worked for him, I obviously can’t have followed the instructions properly 
Funny you mention Clapton my project this week is to master the opening riff to the Blind Faith track I had to cry today.
Southern Avenue - Keep On
I have their eponymous album, and very good it is too, so when I saw @ewemon post this new release, I had to have a listen.
I think this one is even better, and there is only one word for it, belter! In fact I have just pre-ordered my copy, something I rarely do.
Have a listen on Tidal. Thouroughly recommended.
Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate - Ali and Toumani.
A masterclass from two giants of the music of Mali.
An absolute belter of an album, and most highly recommended.
