or through this site you can buy individual tracks:http://www.worldmusic.net/wmn/store/product/RGNET1192 2008 was an incredible year for me: new music, new colleagues, new work all challenging and inspiring. Life is Great!This year I have promised myself and others that I will get some music out, whether by gigging and/or recording. So Anju, I'm coming over so we can start singing together again and Abass - if you're reading this - put some time aside for us to get back to the 'high-life'!The Radio3 show continues, expanding my knowledge of music and introducing me to some truly talented artists. The programme goes out on BBC Radio3 at 23.15 to 0100 on Fridays. I do 2 shows in rotation with Charlie Gillett and Mary Ann Kennedy - great company to be in! My next shows will be broadcast on:-www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/worldon3 Friday 1st May 23.15 BST- w/Kasse Mady Diabate, an extraordinary singer from a long line of Malian griots Friday 8th May 23.15 BST - w/Los Desterrados - The Exiles - UK based group singing sephardic music, mixed with spanish folk and a hugh dollop in Balkan soul!Do tell us what you think of the shows. Any suggestions? Haven't heard a fave of yours in a while? Frankly, all comments are welcome go to: www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/worldon3 then scroll down to the bottom and click on messageboards.I try and put most of the artists featured on each show in my top friends list to make it easier for you to check them out.......Hopefully you'll see me and the band at a few gigs over the year.More new offerings on the way...mwah..
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
