Now I really like that, perhaps a little too much sax but the guitar is great. Good find Martin @port perran . Good drums as well...

PS BBC Prom on BBC Two tonight (07:35) features film scores from Sci-fi films, the inevitable John Williams (yawn) plus Hans Zimmer, Max Richter. Holst and Richard Strauss. Correction it's an archive compilation!

A bit too mellow for me. I have to be in the right mood for such as that, whereas I can listen to some racket anytime :P  ;D

This might appeal to some if you like a bit of laid back sax and tasteful guitar work.

Bob Reynolds, from Snarky Puppy who have featured on here before I believe. He's also played with John Mayer.
Bob is joined here by Mark Lettieri (also Snarky Puppy) on guitar.

Quote from: Newportnobby on Today at 09:08:51 AMStill, as far as motor sport goes, any coverage is good coverage with the Beeb and it is good to recall we had world champions in both 2 wheeled and 4 wheeled racing at the same time (Sheene and James Hunt 1976).

I still miss Formula One coverage opening with "The Chain" - and, of course, the inestimable Murray getting his tongue ahead of his brain  in the commentary.

QuoteBeware, however, the Beeb can and will tell you the result just when you don't want to hear it!

Indeed, for what it's worth Channel Four do do the F1 highlights shows very well apart from the blasted adverts - but I always have to avoid looking at the BBC News website between the real end of a qualifying session or race and the end of C4s highlights show. You can't even just avoid the Sport part of the BBC website as they'll sometimes drop the result in on one of the News pages  >:(

I, too, miss dear old Murray, especially when he commentated in cahoots with James Hunt - a great pairing ;D
Likewise I watch F1 on Ch4 as I refuse to line Sky's pockets, although, as you say, it has limitations as to screening times which means blanking any programme likely to carry the result until I've seen the show

Gasp! Horror! Shock!

The Beeb actually devoted a few minutes on 'Breakfast' this morning to the fact there's a motorcycle race on at Silverstone this weekend. Wonders will never cease. (in the same way they'll never mention gridiron unless somehow Taylor Swift is involved ::) )

Of course, they made a thing of it being 50 years since good ole Barry Sheene won the first of his two world championships but also featured Cal Crutchlow in the piece.
Strange really as Cal, great bloke though he is, is unlikely to be troubling the leaderboard and there's absolutely no comparison between bikes, field numbers and safety between today's racing and that of 50 years ago.

Still, as far as motor sport goes, any coverage is good coverage with the Beeb and it is good to recall we had world champions in both 2 wheeled and 4 wheeled racing at the same time (Sheene and James Hunt 1976).

Beware, however, the Beeb can and will tell you the result just when you don't want to hear it!

A bit of a twist... I think I had the record at one time.
