Fantastic session

I'm sure I must've played this session before (probably this very upload) but I Won't Close My Eyes has just made itself my 'new' favourite of theirs. And only a couple of weeks since Burden of Shame had taken that title. Think once the session is finished I'll play that opener again before I head up the wooden hill and close my eyes...

[@martinmcareavey6169]

Wonderful voices and melodies from the distant past, with a life and power as relevant today as they were when John Peel championed them back in the 70s and 80s. Time travel at it's melodic best!!

The local radio station where I live has been shut down,unfortunately.
No more listening to bands that I would otherwise not hear.
Every place needs a station like that!

I’m old, I remember listening to this session on my boombox (hitachi TRK 8190E if you’re interested) in my bedroom wearing my Sony MDR-3 headphones. Awesome 😎
