Edition of Friday, 22 September 2017

I probably sound a bit different this week, that’s because I have a cold. Because so many people are tuning in to our radio programme and podcast at the moment, I don’t want to skip a week, but I will talk a bit less than usual. The genres of this week’s songs vary quite a lot. I will play acoustic, pop, rock, blues, country, R&B and more. Two newcomers joined TalentCast, a jazzy blues trio and a pop musician. Both are from Germany. Last week's Song of the Week competition was a close finish, there is just one vote difference between the number 1 and number 2. Somewhere halfway through the programme you will hear the winning song. And more is happening this week: On Thursday evening, the 28th of September at 8pm (SET) we will have an album listening session. We will host "Thy Grace & Wisdom", the brand new album of The Imaginary Suitcase from Belgium. Of course you are welcome to join, to be among the first to hear the album, and to chat about it. The first track of today is by a folk punk troubadour from Australia who is touring Europe at the moment.
