Eight shows in, and over 200 songs played. I hope everyone's found something to enjoy in that mix!
Last Sunday's show was an interesting experience. For the first time, I wasn't completely happy with the music. Given that I'd selected the songs, that was an awkward position to be in!
Reflecting on the show afterwards I felt there were four songs - I won't name them as none of them were bad songs - that didn't fit with the vibe I was hoping to achieve. Normally, that would be possible to overcome but those four songs arrived in the first nine songs on the programme and set a tone that was, perhaps, difficult to shake off. I hope it recovered by the end, and I'll be giving more thought to song selections and sequencing in weeks to come.
