Here's a montage of extracts from "Attuned to the Rainbow Faults", my sixth Boom Logistics release. The album was recorded between 2017 and 2021 and features a host of brilliant players to whom I'm indebted. youtube.com/watch?v=cIg6oJ…

Another one of my Bach chorale #classicalguitar quartet transcriptions: "Der du bist drei in Einigkeit". Harmonic analysis included - #musictheory nerds feel free to correct me! youtube.com/watch?v=NEHfqO…

Premiere: The Necks In October, Australian jazz trio The Necks will release their 20th full length album, Disquiet. Ahead of its release, The Wire presents an exclusive stream of the group’s latest single, “Warm Running Sunlight”. thewire.co.uk/audio/tracks/p…

'Trapped in the Sky', the first episode of Thunderbirds, was originally broadcast in selected ITV regions on this day in 1965.

@progrocksongs If memory serves - and it's a *long* time ago - in the early 80s Andy used to sit in with a jazz fusion group called Free Parking at a weekly Sunday residency at a pub in Preston, Lancs (UK). Amazing to see him up close like that!

Happy 73rd birthday to Andy Ward of Camel!

Thunderbirds Day is GO! 🫡

Here's another folk song I've arranged for intermediate #classicalguitar quartet - a somewhat lugubrious take on "Matty Groves": youtu.be/vg-CqoIBKFM

Another little Bach chorale arranged for #clasicalguitar quartet, "Das walt' Gott Vater und Gott Sohn". With harmonic analysis, of course! youtube.com/watch?v=Be0PMO…

Er, wrong answer.

An especially brilliant episode of the Freak Zone from @StuartMaconie and @BBC6Music, exploring the relationship between C20th classical music and pop/rock, feat a great interview with @elizabethalker: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… (Already ordered Elizabeth's book!)
