When Big Joan Sets Up 8.8.13 – Tramp Verses

This week we had three tracks from Martin Simson’s wonderful new LP “Vagrant Stanzas” on Topic records, nestling prettily amongst the usual noise and confusion. I also announced (seems a very grand word for basically saying summat) that over the next few weeks we’re going to be playing tracks from our favourite dub LP’s and asked you to nominate yours.

You can contact me at phil.cope@bcbradio.co.uk , @PhilCope1 on Twitter or on Facebook if you want to.

Thanks to the many people who already have. Pete Chapman, Rob Walsh, John Toolan, Jim Powers, Jumbo Records and Dubophonic netlabel to name a few. Am I to draw the conclusion from this that women don’t like dub? Surely not?
