Great new music from independent labels and artists all around the world

A rather different sort of show from Long Island in the Bahamas so it just seems right to pull up a selection of Caribbean feeling tunes off my MacBook, even if most of it originates in Europe. I think it is all available from Jamendo at www.jamendo.comThis week’s show has, I suppose, been part sponsored by Max’s Conch Bar where Gary (right) kindly provides a wi-fi access point (at a modest cost of two beers – which you also get to drink!) for the south of the island and by Dave and Fiona Lincoln who have generously provided hospitality, great conversation, diving facilities and transport to Max’s. So, next time you’re feeling peckish in the Bahamas or anywhere else, check out Max’s for the finest fresh made conch salad and a Kalik beer. It’s on the Queen’s Highway at Deadman’s Cay, Long Island.I’ll update these shownotes and give the album links when I get proper internet access at the weekend. (Done)Don’t forget the spirit of the message on the wall at Max’s:Life’s journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy shit, what a ride."I’ll update these shownotes and give the album links when I get proper internet access at the weekend.
