A few weeks ago, just as I was leaving the studio after the show, I had a call from a singer called Naima Williams. She had a hit called You Never Had A Love Like Mine back in the 1980s. I didn’t get much chance to talk as I had to rush off – Naima, if you’re listening can you please drop me an email? Thanks.

Next week on The BritMix (now at 7pm on Tuesdays) We listen again to the recent NPR All Things Considered interview with Richard Thompson and hear a track from his new album. We have The Vaccines, and not before time I have to say, plus the 2013 BBC Folk Awards Folk Singer of The Year covers a Randy Newman song. And we'll hear Fripp & Eno, Joan As Policewoman and a new band from about fifteen miles from my home town in England, called Temples. And all the usual hoopla.
I apologise for the silence at the start of this week's show!! Yikes - nothing worse than dead air. It was the result of what we'll call a "mismanagement" of the transfer betwwen the Jeffersonville studio and the Honesdale studio.

Blues, folk, rock 'n 'roll, punk, the classier sort of pop, electric folk, jazz; home-made music and studio music, big music and small; the weird and the wonderful, the sparky and the strange - anything and everything from the 1960s, '70s, '80s, '90s right up to the latest releases from indie labels and even from the mega studios... but it must be British. New singles, old rarities, forgotten classics, album out-takes, singer-songwriters - the majestic, the quirky; the catchy and occasionally the almost incomprehensible. The BritMix.
