SnC 429 – Finale
A retrospective show this week to celebrate the past (almost) nine years of weekly Suffolk’n’Cool shows. There’s a mixture of old and relatively new music from artists that have a significance for me always, initially for their music and also , in many cases for the personal contact and friendships that have developed and continue…

SnC 388 – In the wrong place
The accordion and bandoneon make welcome appearances on at least two tracks this week as we sample the musical delights of Kansas City, Chicago, Germany, Tokyo, The Netherlands, Ohio and Toronto.

SnC 305 – Ten more to watch in 2012
The second half of our 20 to watch in 2012. Each of these artists have impressed me in 2011 and I think they are likely to attract significant attention in 2012. They certainly deserve it. There have been somne lovely moonsets this week and, when it isn’t pouring with rain, and some great coloured skies.…

SnC 288 – Pulling a late one
Pulling a late one this week … and thankful, once again, that the Libsyn server is in Pittsburgh – it gives me an extra five hours to hit the midnight deadline! Why so late? Over the past few weeks pressures have been growing from aging but much loved parents. This has entailed quite a…
