Join the fight against mediocre music!
Producing this podcast is not without its costs. If you enjoy it and would like Andy to keep on playing some bloody great records, please contribute a few quid (or dollars or euros or...) to help cover our overheads.
From Podcast 23 the first 60 minutes will be free, but the full two-hours-plus version of each podcast will be available to patrons only.
Your support, no matter how modest or extravagant, will be hugely welcome. Help the war effort against lousy music. Many thanks.

delighted to have finally subscribed - please keep up the great work and enthusiasm for what you do - it's infectiousThe daveemburey's Podcast 4 days ago
Should have done this a year ago when I first discovered the podcast. It’s a lot easier than recording the old radio programs onto VHS tapes, as did in the dark ages! The programs were later transferred to C90 cassettes so I could catch on the programs while driving. Keep the music going!The nickjbonny's Podcast 7 days ago
Having signed up as a Patreon, please can I cheekily ask for a repeat of Ronnie Butler's 'Burma Road'.[I was the mysterious chap whose request you came across some time back when you had a copy of the very same in your clammy hands ;-)]
Failing that, more Buck Owens, Barrence Whitfield or (dare I say it) Bob Davenport would go down well.
Glad to see you back on form!
PS Never stop preachin', shoutin' and singin' (trad arr. Jerry Lee) about the life affirming music you keep digging out!

Andy - keep it coming - absolutely brilliant. Loved the James Rigby session.I cannot be the only person here who had their life transformed by your shows on the BBC. You introduced me to squillions of bands I just would never have heard of.
To anyone reading this: BECOME A PATRON. You can do this for less than the price of a pint in a London pub (in Sheffield, the price of two pints). Come on people. This is a really good thing. It's the quality without a name. Put your quids in!!!

I’ve been an avid listener to your shows since the eighties. You turned me onto sooo much music. I heard your plight and news of ill health on your latest show, so I thought it’s about time I support the ol’ bugger. I hope my little contribution helps you out. You have been an important part of my life in many ways over the years. So I thank you from my heart xThe richrapple's Podcast 10 days ago
