The Blues Show

Show times:
23.00 Thursdays (Repeated through the night at weekends - not sure of the exact repeat times).

About the show:
Blues music plus some chat with co-presenter Mark and interesting blues facts from The Blues Professor (that’s me).
We currently feature a Clapton Corner and a Back-to-Back slot and the music covers everything from Charley Patton to Joe Bonamassa. We also hope to include blues tracks from local musicians.

Biog:
I’m semi-retired, which means that I cannot quite afford to completely retire, but can’t get a job! I’ve been happily married since 1980, and am a non-smoking, classic car loving tee-total guitar player, who occasionally writes poetry for fun and loves dogs. I do occasional volunteer work for the WRVS (They do accept men!).

Get up quite early, have breakfast in the garden with my wife, looking out over Arran, then walk the dog along a deserted beach.
