Here’s the playlist for Midnight Campfire #86, first broadcast on Juice 107.2, Wed 11 May 2016. It was a bit boring to be honest. Not the individual music but I picked too many samey things and we’ve had so much excitement in recent weeks, this one’s a tiny bit fallow. Never mind, music’s still lovely. Here’s the TotallyRadio archive and here’s what I played…
