To all my listeners, you might remember that, previously, I mentioned that there had been a change in relation to my show being repeated at 6pm on Saturdays. I also mentioned that I would update you when I found out why the repeat slot had been changed. I wanted to let you know that, after several months, I finally got the answer; the slot was changed because a lot of the repeats were particularly outdated, and so, as a result, sounded pretty out of place. The reason for this is that I haven't been able to do shows as often as I used to (especially before COVID). However, the show should go back to the previous 6pm repeat slot on Saturdays if I'm able to record more frequently. I also wanted to reassure my listeners that my weekly slot, at 10pm on Tuesdays, will remain the same and won't be changed anytime soon.

Thought I should let my listeners know that the most recent Phoenix Blues show was meant to be aired last Tuesday at 10pm, on 92.5 Phoenix FM. However, there was a technical error, which resulted in the show being aired an hour earlier, at 9pm instead. Apologies to my listeners for this mistake. It should be on tonight though, at the scheduled time of 10pm. Tonight, the show will be starting with songs by Howlin' Wolf, opening with his song "How Many More Years". I'll also be featuring his song "Killing Floor" along with Albert King's version of the same song, several songs by Etta James and some stuff by Mighty Sam McClain, including his song "Give It Up to Love". There will also be songs by Clara Rose, including her number "Leave the Bottle". Hear some of those songs below if anyone wants to. Don't forget to listen online on www.phoenixfm.ie. if you live outside Dublin 15. Or, if you don't get a chance to hear the show tonight, listen again on www.mixcloud.ie
Enjoy the show 😁
