Another great show from Mr Mike Harding, and some fantastic songs, it was so good I listened to the show 3 times using the playback facility on the internet, Richard Thompson was the guest this week in the studio with Mike, I particularly like the song "Beeswing", which one of my all time favourites Singers Christy More has covered and features on his Burning Times album, well worth running out to buy.
You can listen to each show for the next 7 days or so after it has been played on BBC Radio 2 on the Wednesday night, I also like to hear Billy Mitchell's song from his great album the Devil's Ground, make sure you get to listen.
