Episode 318: Who’s Who?

This is the 318th edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note the shows are large files. The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network (the show appears on Progzilla in alternate weeks). This year seems to be flying by, with us now heading into September. On this show I have another typically eclectic mixture of music for you, with a strong focus on 2021 releases, mixed up with some great older stuff too. And we have a feature album on this show, ‘The Divine Abstract’, the highly impressive 2017 debut solo album by Charlie Cawood, so you’ll hear three tracks from that throughout the playlist. There will also be a tribute to the late Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.

Thanks to all the musicians who contributed to this show, and to all listeners. Send us comments if you like what you hear (or even if you don’t… feedback is so important!). If you want to keep up to date with news about the show, EppyFest, or just chat with other listeners, don’t forget that there’s a Facebook group – just search for the Eppy Gibbon Podcast Show on Facebook and request to join, plus don’t forget that we’re now part of the Progzilla Radio Network. Next time, I’ll be back with a show featuring a typically excellent and eclectic mixture of music, and although there won’t be a feature album, as such, there will be a theme running through the show relating to an excellent music documentary film released this year, so I hope you’ll come back for that.
