Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
May 20 2026
Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
May 22 2026

First introduced to Hugh Masekela when I saw Paul Simon’s Graceland tour in the 80s and have LPs such as Tomorrow, Techno-Bush, Waiting for the Rain and his later LP collaboration with Tony Allen. However have never heard this before and it’s brilliant. Lovely township jazz crossover and with the fantastic Dudu Pukwana too. Will be playing this a lot more.

Disintegration by The Cure
May 23 2026

Having been a big fan of The Cure during the Boys Don’t Cry, Seventeen Seconds, Faith era, I took sporadic interest after The Top. I enjoyed the singles and loved Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me but then Kind of ignored Disintegration. So a pleasant surprise to hear how good it sounds all these years later.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
May 24 2026

Not my cup of tea. Never been a fan of heavy metal. Didn’t get far with this.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
May 25 2026

Wouldn’t normally listen to anything like this but actually quite enjoyed it. Immaculate production
