Radio Liquorice: the pre-Balstock, Bank Holiday Summer Special episode drops

This episode features Hive account@steevc, Hive account@daniellemurray, Hive account@anna-newkey, Hive account@purplesinger, Hive account@todayslight and many, many more covers and original songs spanning genres from jazz and blues to rock and pop.

The theme was "What We Did on Our Summer Holidays," so there is a lot of summery music. But it also showcases a few local bands and promotes a major local music festival and the charities that will benefit from it: Balstock.

Our band Swing 42, who include Hive account@steevc, Hive account@purplesinger, Hive account@anna-newkey and Hive account@daniellemurray in the line-up, will be playing a set at Balstock, while Hive account@anna-newkey has her own solo set. It's a weekend of totally free music, all to benefit local charities - what's not to like?

The festival slogan used to be "all hail the universal sausage!" and that's the reason for the strange, stuttering robot voice at the beginning of the show. There are also some wacky jingles I made from the BBC Sound Effects archive and the NASA audio archive, which are fun to check out if you have some procrastinating to do. Just don't procrastinate so effectively that you don't get around to listening to the show!
