Hey up, now then
The Photos site has new pics, at www.rob-walsh.net plus older ones revisited – all our photos are organic home-grown produce, with zero manipulation or photo-shopping (oh, alright, I’ve cropped one…).
AND there’s a two hour Blowin wireless programme of rather wonderful african music at blowin.podomatic.com
I enjoyed recording it for BCB FM back in 2004 – hope you enjoy it too… playlist below – listen or download this and other Blowin broadcasts from the above site.

I like Firefox’s multiple download manager though.
