Most of these suggestions were gathered at our back-to-back listening sessions at Camp Bestival so there is a pretty decent variety. I was kind of taken back to see Rush – that is a first! They were hugely popular in my small hometown in Massachusetts and the only time I have ever heard their music played here in the UK was at the local fishmongers. No idea why but I remembered all of the lyrics. Where do we store those relics?
I see lots of Prince and we’re featuring Purple Rain in September. CAS will be playing two other suggestions below at Bestival: The Jimi Hendrix’s “Axis: Bold as Love” and Van Morrison “Astral Weeks”. I do listen.
