Somewhere in the world, lots of men are kicking balls about. Everywhere else, millions of people are getting needlessly over-excited about the whole thing, and boring the pants off those of us who have zero interest in the whole sport. In this week's show, there's a complete lack of football, which is exactly as it should be. Instead, there's another squad of great bands for you this week and not a vuvuzela within earshot.

It must have been the heat – but I was feeling decidedly funky by the end of the week. So what better way to round it off with a selection of funky, chunky ‘choons' to get those feet a'tappin' & to help you ‘git on up' and strut your funky stuff? That's precisely what you get with this week's show. Heat, funk and pointless blathering

With some Celtic Belgian Punks, some US-based South Africans and an indie/pop singer-songwriter from West Yorkshire, it's an eclectic bag of locations this week. Still fantastic fun, though. Gathered from across the world, the best independent music is brought to you via Three From Leith

Fed up with UK Election Fever and now the ‘hung parliament' shenanigans? Let the stress evaporate with some lovely ambient music from All India Radio's expanded re-release of ‘Echo Other'. It certainly worked for me on Friday

Well, back after the sadness of saying cheerio forever to the cat. I'm a bit slow and down getting started, but I perk up by the end: must be the therapy provided by the fantastic music. Enjoy – and don't forget to let the artists know if you've enjoyed hearing them on TFL.

To celebrate the launch of the special edition physical CD of their new album ( buy it here), Warren & Christa Belle from Hungry Lucy pop by this week to tell you about their favourite tracks from the album, and then we have some cracking new Scottish & English artists to TFL.

This week I seem to be sounding a little strange; perhaps I'm a little croaky and have a frog in my throat? Actually, it's your guest host Graham Holland from the “It's A Frog's Life Acoustic Podcast” swapping shows with me as part of the AMP Great Easter Podswap. If you click on the link to Graham's site, you may find me in unfamiliar surroundings on his lilypad in Liverpool doing an all-acoustic show. Enjoy the show – I certainly did and I'm sure you'll agree that Graham made a fabulous honorary TFL host. Thanks, Graham!

Built On Tradition – ‘Let Me Be The One'

Will Kevans – ‘Dialling Tone'

Jon Hollins – ‘Come Tomorrow'

Built On Tradition – ‘Two Lives'

A special mention was made for the AMP Showcase at the International Pop Overthrow in Liverpool on Monday 31st May 2010
