It’s a bit late, but better than not at all. Here’s the tracklist for parts two and three of last Wednesday’s Groundbeat session, liver from Bar Absolute.

After a few initial teething problems we got things ironed out and some smooth jazz influenced tunes were spun. This was the first of what could be many at this stylish new venue, so keep your eyes peeled for more dates. The download has been available since last Thursday, and will still be on our Radio page until this Thursday. So if you haven’t grabbed it yet, you’ve only got a couple of days left to do so.

I think we all agree a change is good once in a while. Even if it’s just your socks…Foot hygiene issues aside, it’s healthy to change the norm now and again.

The rambling point of this post (and rather rubbish sock reference), is to let you weblanders know that we’re taking transmission of tonight’s live radio show out of the smoky confines of Blunt HQ, and into Bar Absolute (in Hitchin, Hertfordshire) for the evenings proceedings. It’s fair to say that Bar Absolute has comfier seats and a better range of spirits than we currently have here at Blunt HQ, and they probably empty their ashtrays more often, so we’re glad they’re letting us come over for the night! (“thank you”…)

As advertised, tonight’s show will be another infamous “Groundbeat” session. Expect lots of chilled-out, jazz-influenced beats from across the genres, live from 8pm UK time. DJs will include Blunt residents, and Adam Williams, who returns to the fold once more as tonight’s guest DJ.

If you’re in the area, feel free to pop down to Bar Absolute to say hello, treat yourself to a Campari and Lucozade, and kick back to some live sounds from the family Blunt, from 8pm through until midnight.

If you’re not lucky enough to be nearby, then you can of course listen live to the whole 4 hour session via our radio page from 8pm tonight. You can do this in the comfort of your own home, without even having to change your socks. (“Socks!!! See?? I knew I’d get there in the end! Erm….I’m off for a siesta now.”)

We’re back on air at 8pm tonight, with the return of our Allsorts show. 4 hours of musical wanderings from across the genres, as chosen by Blunt residents Agent M and the Erbalist. This show is like Ronseal. It does exactly what it says on the tin (but it tastes nicer…)

Well, it is, frankly.

Instead of some seasonal pastry and Christmas CD, tune in tonight to our deep-fried, full fat, brandy-soaked Soul Food radio show. It’s far tastier. I’m sure even Delia would agree.

Live from 8pm UK time tonight, Santa’s (not so) little helpers Agent M and the Erbalist will be dishing up man-sized portions of soul, funk, hip hop, and all manner of dusty ghetto breaks.

Just the thing for a dice game on the stoop. (But, I wouldn’t bother with that in this weather….you’ll turn into a bloody snowman.)

….Or something like that. I’m not implying that all brass players are grubby….or, indeed, trying to sound like a wise old Yorkshireman discusing the merits of getting ones hands dirty…erm…oh sod it. I’m just digging myself a hole here.

The point of this post is to let you good weblanders know that tonight live radio session sees the return of Groundbeat, which is where we dig through our respective crates, to bring you a selection of jazz-influenced music from across the genres and the years.

DJs on tonights show will be Blunt residents Doug, Marcus Hurley, and the Erbalist. Live from 8pm UK time. Grrrrroovy baby!

As our heads are still a little fuzzy, in après-festival mode, we’ve decided to take things a little easy on this weeks live radio show. Also, it’s a little “Brucie Bonus” for you people in webland (as we’re nice).

From 8pm tonight, we’ll be playing some live recordings from our recent outing with our Urban Picnic Sounds project at the Rhythms Of The World festival. Those of you that were there will be able to re-live the musical fun and games from what was a blinder of a weekend. Those of you that weren’t will find out what you missed, and will be treated to some great music from the Family Blunt and Friends.

Sets tonight will be from Blunt Resident Doug, and special guests Matty J and Adam Williams. Top notch stuff, I can assure you. Perfect for the sunshine vibe.

As a bypoint, we’re well aware we haven’t put up too much (well…ok…any) footage/pics etc of the festival as yet. Don’t worry. Rest assured we will. Very soon.
