The Whole Nine Yards Episode 122
With Roy Stannard
On Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM
Sunday 28th May 2023 3-5pm

Old. New. Borrowed. Blue.

In an ethereal concert hall, the stage is set with a grand piano, its polished wood reflecting the soft glow of golden lights. From the corner of the stage, a vintage gramophone spins, releasing pure nostalgia. On the other side, a DJ crouches in the centre of a NASA dashboard, crafting new beats and electronic harmonies. The audience, a tapestry of generations, starts to sway in time with the music. The old whispers its secrets, the borrowed echoes its influence, and the new pulses expectantly.
Music pickled and whiskery, music taking its first breath, music reinterpreted, music out of the blue. All in 120 short minutes.
