Wagonload of Monkeys Playlist 489: 19 May 2024 - music on offer at the Radio Catskill Music Yard Sale

This is the playlist for The Wagonload Of Monkeys, hosted by me, Graham Rice, for Radio Catskill, for 19 May 2024 -  a whole hour of music on offer at the Radio Catskill Music Yard Sale.

In the run up to the Radio Catskill music yard sale, which is being held at our studios at Liberty NY next Saturday 25 May at 9am, a thoughtful and generous listener dropped off a bundle of eighteen vinyl albums to be sold at the sale to raise funds for the station. Nothing unusual about that, perhaps, we have many loyal listeners who support the station in this way. But this donation instantly stood out because every one of the albums was a British release - many retaining their British price stickers, in ££ - British releases of British or Irish folk albums that fit right in to this show – and, in some cases, have been played on the show in the past. And they’re all in great condition.

So, this week, I brought you a whole show made up of music from these donated albums.
