It’s inevitable I suppose. You listen to lots of superb music through the year and end up playing a great deal of it on the radio. From this you devise your end of year favourite albums list. And click publish. So far so good. Then a week or two later you are discover albums that you would have also included on that list if only you’d heard them sooner. May I take this opportunity to thank friends, music bloggers and music websites for ensuring these fine selections eventually appeared on my radar albeit fashionably late. Please add them to my 117 albums of the year posted on my earlier blog.

So below I recognise those lost albums that almost got away. Enjoy. Happy New Year, I know it’s a bit early but it’s not that far away so thought I could just about get away with it! And thank you for supporting my endeavours on the Quiet Revolution whether you’re one of the musicians I’ve played on the show, a regular listener or recent convert, a record label or independent promoter. Although brevity is overrated I’ve rambled on long enough. Enjoy.
