No Boxing Day special show for me this year.  This wasn’t for any “bah humbug” reasons, but simply because I still have a backlog of new music that I want to air.  I know that if you want Christmas music, you are clever enough to find ways of hearing it all by yourself.  I don’t mean that you’re too dim-witted to unearth the tunes in my show, I mean….oh, I could get myself into a hole here.  I’ll quit while I’m only marginally behind and just show you what I played…

There is a new single coming out early in the new year by Roots Manuva.  This is certainly cause for excitement.
