Could come as easily from The Appalachian Mountains as the UK folk scene. Simmonds was in The Men They Couldn’t Hang (not played them for years) & Bedford sang and wrote ‘Funny Break’ by Orbital apparently. Andy Summers & Justin Currie (Del Amitri) also pop by. CD rip.

Why would Niam need to apologise? It was V tuner’s issue. It would be like my smart TV manufacturer apologising if Netflix went down worldwide.
Certainly not “Shocking” IMO

A 1964 7" EP from the marvelous Shake Keane bizarrely with the Hastings Girls Choir on the A side and the Gordon Langford Orchestra on the reverse. It was in a donation of singles that came into the Oxfam Shop - I saw the Girls Choir and was about to chuck it until I noticed Shake’s name - surely not! As you can imagine not his best but seems to be worth a few bob so will be going on the on-line shop next week.

Time for an old fave to segue into evening - Traffic Low Spark … - gorgeous mix of sweet grooves with the odd rocker. On pretty grubby Island palm tree vinyl with the daft shaped sleeve and inner. For once remembered to shift the turntable belt after my 45 listening!

Great find ! That is a rare EP, shame there is no sleeve but seems to happen quite a bit with Airborne. I believe that was Michael Garrick’s label, almost a private pressing.
All of the Garrick/Keane material on Airborne was reissued by Trunk on the ‘Rising Stars’ LP/CD.

Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… kicking off this Wednesday morning with this February 2022 album from Kit Downs and his talented trio and they are sounding sublime!

Many thanks for the info D - interestingly Trunk says on his website “Why this actual four track ep never was issued may well remain a mystery”. I assume he meant “ever”!

As far away from their later disco material as it’s possible to get really & a simply beautiful album. CD rip of the single 1985 CD. What a band they were.
