Nuts In May

That was our second session this month – and on consecutive Sundays. We’ve gone nuts in May. The slight punk bias was offset by Graham’s set of five Bob Dylan songs in honour of Bob’s approaching 84th birthday. Quest certainly wasn’t complaining (some others were). A bit of pop, reggae (welcome Dan!), soul, dance and general weirdness also leavened the mix. Here’s what we heard:
