Following on from mid-November's Deserted Island Discs 1 which got lots of nice feedback, here's a second collection resulting from pandemic lockdowns allowing more time for listening to old favourites, usually a rare luxury when all the great new releases keep piling in.

Deserted Island Discs 2 is once again a random and totally self-indulgent selection of music I've loved and accumulated down the years since discovering there were alternatives to the pop music heard on the radio when I was a young teenager. Mostly folk, roots and what used to be called world music, but as before it does go off-piste a few times!

Apologies that again there are no web site links given. A lot of these CDs were out of print before web sites became a thing. If they're not available from your usual retail source and you want to track them down, Mr Google and Mr Discogs are probably your best starting points.

Podwireless Archive Winter 2010

 

PLAY LINK: PODWIRELESS ARCHIVE WINTER 2010

Two programmes first heard a decade back during Podwireless’s earlier incarnation as fRoots Radio, associated with fRoots magazine (RIP).  

Some of the label web links that were given back then no longer work – either the labels no longer exist or the CDs are out of catalogue. Where nothing's listed here, I suggest going to Discogs where, in most cases, you can at least buy a second-hand copy.
