If you’re still recovering from the FFR repeat, you have a few hours to recover before today's outing on www.td1radio.scot (6th September)

If I say today's version is something of a "classic" Brew, you may be able to predict some of the artists. But what about the tunes? Obviously, excellent, but which ones?

18.00 - 20.00 to find out.

Here's the "Listen Again" link to last night's Brew (3rd September - Folk Friday Radio) - it is also repeated on FFR at 19.00 on Saturday):

Best not to ask about the missing week, but we may get there eventually. Anyway, here's the second of two Brews considering music related (or not) to the Four Humours, the Four Elements. Last week was Air and Water; this session looks at Earth and Fire ... sort of.
