On my short cycle ride into work, on a rickety fixed gear banana-bike built for schoolkids, each morning I pass by a fisherman.

I’m pretty drunk right now in this Chiang Mai nightclub called Tarandang Mahabon and I have to tell you about the live music set-up here, it has freaked me out…

That most excellent Stef Pause has fixed my website so I can update it here – so here’s the playlist for Midnight Campfire #71, taped at Natura Riverside guesthouse, Huay Sai, northern Thailand. The second hour is a ‘best of 2015’ selection. Listen here via TotallyRadio and here’s what I played…

Here’s the playlist for Chris T-T’s Midnight Campfire episode #70, first broadcast Wed 13 Jan 2016. January’s new ‘Album Of The Month’ is The Long Way Home by Show Of Hands. I’ll put up the audio link as soon as I can but for now, here’s what I played…

Happy new year.

With a lot of people reflecting on how tough 2015 was, I’ve read too many (beautifully written) pieces and blog entries to join in (and I had a positive year, overall), so I just hope with all my heart that 2016 will be a great adventure for you…

Yay, it’s that time again. Here are all my favourite things of the year. Some sections were published a few days ago as part of Team Jim Bob’s annual review – and I’ve expanded those here, so there’s a lot to dig into…

Here’s the playlist for Midnight Campfire #69 my final programme of 2015, first broadcast Wed 16 Dec on Juice 107.2. It’s a mellow festive episode; aims to be a decent soundtrack for whatever you’re doing. The first hour is a ‘winter’ playlist, then the second hour is more specifically a ‘Christmas’ playlist. You can listen online here – but for now here’s what I played…

Here’s the playlist for Midnight Campfire episode #68 first broadcast 9 Dec 2015 on Juice 107.2. For the first time I made this episode while touring and it’s turned out a mellower patchwork than usual, I think – though that’s fine. Listen online here and here’s what I played…

Here’s the playlist for Midnight Campfire episode #67, first broadcast Wed 2 Dec 2015 on Juice 107.2. No theme but a lovely mince pie-fuelled show, til I went off-piste and played two (incredible) songs in a row from the Hamilton Broadway musical. Fun. Anyway I’ll throw up the listen online link as soon as it’s ready. Meantime, here’s what I played…

From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much, if you came to the Red Songs show. You were lovelier than I could’ve ever hoped for.
