It's Not That I'm Not 34:10

As far as I am aware, this is the sole recorded output of a duo who were prevalent on the Folk/Poetry scene in Sheffield in the 90's. This album dates from '91 and I know I saw them prior to that. They are Stuart Arfield (Guitar) and Rob Smith (Spoken Word).Most of the sentiments expressed here were sarcastic comments on the way the world was progr…

Here’s a reworking of my favourite track, Almost Home, from my favourite Sheffield musician, Andy Whitehouse, and fellow musician Matt Howden.

1:08:27

Arthur Thickett passed away some time in 2011. Perhaps he'd had enough of our capacity to make war not love. Arthur's is a moving life story of a remarkable man. Here, his loves, hopes and desires are wrestled with on a daily basis. Here also are the things he hated, mostly war and hypocrisy. A more-than intelligent child of his time, struggling to…

1:01:02

This time the Urban Tiger is in conversation with Stewart Lodge, a comedy practitioner who defies convention and genre. There is a thin line between comedy weird and comedy genius and I think Stewart stands astride that line in a way that I respect and admire. Especially when he performs 'Little Johnny Cash'. See if you can categorise his talent, I…

Hi. This is side one of the 'Turn the Page' album produced by New Jersey Turnpike in 1976.

This track is 'Cheval'. 'Cheval' is the old french word for 'Horse'. Used today it describes a tall, slender mirror that stands free on four feet. Sometimes those feet can be very ornately carved, like the proud horses in the story. The story is about how we begin as a child with an open mind to the magic in our imagination, then as we grow older a…
