Show 121 – May the Fourth be with you - goes out on Star Wars Day, and appropriately has two Star Wars themed songs to keep all the geeks out there happy. There’s also the usual blend of top-class independent and unsigned acoustic music from across the UK and around the world, and Hopping All Over The World reaches countries beginning with R and S.

Show 120 – Titanic struggle - has been a real tough show to get together, mainly because I’ve been so busy building the new website for Liverpool Acoustic liverpoolacoustic.co.uk and the time just seemed to slip away… But I made it in the end, in the week of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, so let’s hope this show stays afloat. There’s a Hopping All Over The World journey to countries beginning with P and Q, and a couple of tracks topical for the month of April. Ready? Let’s go!
