Bob Seger- Old Time Rock n Roll
This one must be listened to with the volume on full. The ornaments must bounce off the mantle piece. Your granda’s underwear should vibrate and drop to the floor, hopefully not in sight of the neighbours. The dog should spin round and round chasing his tail, in time to this beat. The cat should end […]

Scottish Folk – Amy McDonald Sings This Is The Life
This is a great track from the Scottish singer-songwriter that should have resonance for many who hear it.

Great songs last forever. This is one. It never tires or grows old. It will be played 500 years from now when we are are driving around in flying cars, on Mars. – If you enjoyed this, please share it –
Jackson Browne – Before The Deluge (Folk)
This is a beautiful track from the singer-songwriter, Jackson Browne. The lyrics in this haunting song are among some of the best ever written; poetry at its finest.

Cat Stevens – Father And Son

The Wolfe Tones – My Heart Is In Ireland
This is a standard of the folk scene in Ireland and wherever the Irish diaspora gather. It’s a lament for the emigrants and their descendants who live around the world. It can be difficult for those from some other nations to fully understand the emotional connections that Irish people have for their place of birth. […]
Palestinian Song Of Resistance
This is a song of resistance for Palestine. Conflict and oppression breeds revolutionaries and nowhere are there more per head of population than Palestine. So long as the music continues, so long as the voices ring out in defiance, then the fight for justice and freedom will continue in the land of Palestine. The following […]
