Paying tribute to the legendary Sergio Mendes on The Limelight this afternoon.

I’ve handpicked my favourite tunes from the 30 odd albums he released over his incredible career - From his early jazz days through the Brasil 66/77/88 years, his collaborations with Stevie Wonder and more recent “Timeless” project.

The angelic Brasil 66/77 voices of Lani Hall, Karen Philipp and Bonnie Bowden complete the picture of two hours of music beyond compare.

Join me from 4-6pm on Northside Radio 99.3fm today for this very special show.

Thought I would break from the tradition of playing funky Christmas music this year, instead celebrating the music of those artists that we lost in 2023.

From Burt Bacharach to Astrud Gilberto to Renee Geyer to Trugoy from De La Soul and sadly many, many more, this Christmas Eve on The Limelight we will playing a 2 hour mix of my favourite songs from the late and great.

So join me this Christmas Eve for a musical celebration of those lost but never forgotten.
