A highlight of 2022 was seeing my friend Agnes and her band Balamuc play on the Golden Hinde. Super live band, very talented musicians and a whole lot of fun. Yedi Kedi was one of my favourite albums of 2021.

The Two Sides Of Tony TS McPhee (1973) is a definitive album of two halves. Side 1 is great but it’s all about Side 2, a completely unexpected prog electronica polemic on the moral injustice of fox hunting. Brilliant!
