Such a banquet and feast of great music: September promises even more treasures and wonder. I shall keep you informed of any updates but have a look at the playlist and any I have missed; let me know and I will add them on. It is great to watch some incredible music drop and delight: 2016 has been a magnificent year for mainstream music and there is no slowing in sight.
