If you're stuck at a loose end on a Tuesday between 9pm and 11pm, may we recommend that you give Bob's Folk Show a try on www.radiowey.co.uk He's got a really eclectic track selection and we've yet to be disappointed with any of the studio guests, definitely well worth two hours of your time.

Finally, following some successful dates down south, a new video for Alexi Murdoch's track 'The Light (Her Hands Were Leaves)' has been made available.
