That’s me back from the Autumn hiatus (which is actually me running round the Edinburgh Fringe doing my BAFTA nominated Edinburgh Fringe podcast, so not much of a rest). While I ease myself back into the mood for some Rock, I’ve a few bits of Fringe music to get out my system first.

Another week, another mix of six great songs – take note that there are two instrumentals in the running order, and the second is perilously close to Country and Western, but hey, I like it. I hope you like it 9and the other five) as well.

I know it says rock in the title, but you all know that this is actually music I like that you all need to hear so sometimes the genres go out the window and I just play stuff that’s cool.

So welcome to TPN Cool #145!

I’ve previous mentioned some of the influences and heroes that drive the show, with both Tommy Vance and John Peel being the two most obvious, but the show tonight feels more like Bob Harris and The Old Grey Whistle Test. No matter who it is categorised, it still holds true to the TPN Rock promise… Unknown… Unsigned… Unforgettable…

Back from Russia and Eurovision, hope you all enjoyed the Rock-tack-ular, but now I really need to get the sequins and cheese out of my head. What better way to do that than cranking up the power-chords with a Friday Rock Show!

I should warn you, my head is still a bit all over the place, so it’s a more, well, diverse, mix of songs this week than normal!
