Back from my holiday...

I'll be doing a Back from my Holiday show tomorrow 24 August between 16:00 and 18:00 and will include singers and musicians I saw in Budapest at the Sziget Festival.

The Multifarious Mix proper will now normally be a monthly programme every 1st Wednesday of the month though I will also present the show on 5th Wednesdays when they occur. 
Still lots of guests and previews and reviews of the arts locally plus good local and global music  - live music from time to time. 
If you have ideas or requests for the show please get in touch. Leave a comment on the blog or email themultifariousmix@gmail.com
