Here’s the track listing for Midnight Campfire #84, first broadcast Wed 27 April on Juice 107.2. It has an hour themed on the EU, plus a couple of folkie Prince covers and Ewan MacColl sings this week’s Campfire Songbook entry. I enjoyed making this one but listening back, it seems a bit dry (or I’m not in the mood right now). Anyway, I’ll throw up the TotallyRadio link as soon as it’s ready – and here’s what I played:
