Carl Aylott in Coventry - BAAAADDGGGE!!

Thanks @marcrileydj.bsky.social and @gidcoe.bsky.social

Seasons Greetings to you both and to the team.

Carl Aylott in Coventry (me) BAAADDDGGGGE!!!

@therealmandyque.bsky.social hello to you too. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Sitting On Top Of The World by Howlin Wolf, Hellhound On My Trail by Robert Johnson, She Belongs To Me by Bob Dylan and Motorhead by Motorhead, all mention Christmas in the lyrics.

Thank God It's Not Christmas by Sparks and No Xmas for John Keys (not sure how it's spelt) by The Fall spring to mind

Tavares - Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel (1976) • TopPop YouTube video by TopPop

R.I.P. Antone 'Chubby' Tavares. When I bought this with my 11th birthday Record Token I believed it to be the greatest record ever made. Still in my top 10, played it at my 60th. Saw them live in the 1990s, it was ace.

The cowbell pattern alone is worth a million dollars.

Pure pop perfection..

Are you playing a record for him? Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel is pure pop perfection to my ears.

Are there going to be Obit shows this year? If so, when?

The Sun, The Moon And The Stars by Nanci Griffith
Underneath The Stars - Kate Rusby
Star Sign - Teenage Fanclub
Starcrazy - Suede
Gonna Make You A Star - David Essex
Shooting Star - Bob Dylan
Shooting Star - Bad Company.

I might say the same of you. Good evening to you as well.

For this year's Steeleye Span offering, i would suggest the glorious, "Boar's Head Carol," their Christmas single from 1977. Failing that, Gaudete or the B-side, The Holly And The Ivy, will do just fine.

Are you and @marcrileydj.bsky.social paying tribute this week?

Happy 58th birthday to The Guvnor himself @gidcoe.bsky.social

Thanks @marcrileydj.bsky.social for the shout out, the kind words and the rightful acknowledgement of me being a Riley and Coe lifer.

@gidcoe.bsky.social

I was at a gig tonight and will be again tomorrow evening so will update you and the listeners on Wednesday.

Good gig wasn't it?

Same here. I have met Marc a couple of times before. He's a smashing guy and at heart, simply a big music fan like all of us.

Great to see you @marcrileydj.bsky.social

Thanks for sparing me the time on your evening off.

Will you play a record for her when you return next week? There are a fair few to choose from..

Riley & Coe - The Lads (aka Marc And Gid) juggle and perform magic - BBC Sounds Marc Riley and Gideon Coe come together to juggle and perform magic.
