After Eight Show - New Music You Just Don't Hear Anywhere Else!

We had bucketloads of #NewMusic in our playlist! An eclectic mix of original, intelligent, melodic, grown-up songs - #electronic, #rnb, #jazz, #blues and #acoustic. And mostly from artists who you have not heard of - yet! Think 'next series of Jools' - that's the kind of artists that we play. Our Luvva Cover feature, this week, has quite a story behind it! When The Clash were due to play in Paris in 1981, they met an Algerian musician (Rachid Taha officiel) who handed them a tape of demos of his (punk) band's songs. He heard nothing back from them so he assumed that they hadn't played the tape. The following year, they released one of their best known songs. In an interview with The Guardian some time later, he told this story, smiled at the journalist, and said, "Maybe they did listen to my tape." He later made a brilliant cover version of the track - see what you think!
