Americana from The Milk Carton Kids, Pub Rock from Jim Allen, soulful jazz funk from Parlor Greens and stylish French electronica from Bernard Grancher. Enjoy!
Pop In The Real World
There's quite a bit of grief to process in this edition. Add to that a few examples of poetry in song and a band that smash through the rules and boundaries of traditional pop and you're in for a star...popintherealworld.co.uk
It's our Anniversaries show, featuring albums from 10. 20. 30. 40. 50 and 60 years ago. It will bring back good memories and help you to feel old. Elsewhere we have some dodgy links and dodgier language, pristine past pop and and present pop pearls to savour. Settle down with a ton of chocolate. Pop In The Real World - guaranteed to melt away all the calories you can consume. (in 9/10 cases!)

Five albums and potentially five different audiences. Which one are you in?
