West Coast Radio - Blackpool (2025)

15/08/2025

Good Morning my little Frilly Nylon Panties! So, I'm still above ground, looking down on the grass, and still without work so, I guess, you are s**t outta luck cos I will be around to do a wireless programme this afternoon! I shall be and with on West Coast Radio - Blackpool from 2PM Airstrip One / 3PM Eurasia / 7AM Oceania.

There will be plenty of old stuff for the crusty bits on the outside, surrounding a succulent centre of tasty, tangy new releases, which I ran out of time to fit in to #'TheMidWeekBluesShow on Wednesday. These include tracks from with Paul Pigat and , plus the new Devon Allman album, kindly sent to me by Golly Gallagher and those good people at Ruf Records. I would love to play you the latest from Pavlov's Dog but I can't, You'll just have to wait a few weeks for that. I'm just such a tease. I will play you some classics from the back catalogue though, if you're very very good...

Right! Back on yer 'eads!

Morning my little Proper Nouns! came in your ears last night on West Coast Radio - Blackpool Coast Radio - Morecambe and Lake District Radio.

Facebook completely screwed up the promo post yesterday but, Facebook is s**t... You can listen here, cos you probably missed it: https://hearthis.at/gotradio/2025-08-13-wcr-234-mwbs-156/

Anyway the show started with 3 tracks from 1970 from and and ended with 3 more 1970 tracks from and # LittleBrotherMontgomery.

The meat in the sandwich (clearly this show is not suitable for vegetarians) came from The Zac Schulze Gang Philipp Fankhauser Wily Bo Walker Gwyn Ashton Lee Ainley's Blues Storm The Color Blew The Terraplanes Blues Band Buddy Guy Jon Hines Trio Monster Mike Welch Big Shoes Band Jon Taylor's Bop Brothers Debbie Bond Chris Vincent & The Raw Deals Mama ft. Antonella The 251s Roomful of Blues Bad Temper Joe

I didn't get to play everything I had planned but I only had two hours. If I mentioned you in yesterday's pre show promo and DIDN'T play you, tune in to on Friday afternoon on West Coast Radio - Blackpool from 2PM Airstrip One time, and I will give you some wireless time.

Good Morning my little Landmines! At least, this time, I actually received a non-specific email that I hadn't been selected for interview for a job. Which is progress, of a sort, I guess...

So, join me at 2PM Airstrip One / 3PM CET / 9AM EST on West Coast Radio - Blackpool for . Expect a few tracks by or featuring Terry Reid, David Cousins and probably a few more rock stars that are no longer with us. In fact, do I actually play music by the living on my weekend shows? I'm not entirely sure I do... Listening atm to Mike Zammit and am reminded that I should play more Frank Zappa so, there will be some of that. Like last week, I'm still feeling old and grumpy so, expect old stuff which, to me, is new stuff...

With promo like this, how could you possibly have anything else planned for this afternoon?
