Some great 'American Roots' radio programmes!
From Tuesday 26th February I'll be starting a new show on Worthing Sunshine Radio. You won't be surprised to read that the show is going to be called 'American Roots' and will be on air on the www from 8-00 p.m (GMT) for 2 hours of tremendous roots music. It will take the same format as my Seasidehr show the following night but the beauty of this one is that you don't have to be in hospital to hear it!
Apparently it can be picked up all over the world and will be repeated at 2-00 a.m on Wednesday mornings, in case you get in late and 5-00 p.m on Thursdays!

If he plays in your town/city do yourself a huge favour by going to see him! You won't be sorry.
If you can't see him, buy his new c.d.

This site is dedicated to Alt. Country, Americana, Blues, Folk, even No Depression, call it what you will! In the end it's all American Roots Music! There are and will continue to be c.d. reviews, gig reviews, lists of forthcoming gigs in and around the Brighton area and much more besides! The Histories of American Roots and Blues are based on a series of lectures that I gave a few years ago, with much more to be added to these and with the format gradually changing. The book reviews are likely to be just occasional, time to read much, being at a premium! The radio playlists are self explanatory and as with much of the rest of the content, may gradually evolve.
