Genre Indie Comment by Wallytbm Thanks Ken, this was absolutely wonderful and a testament to a brilliant band who really should have been even more successful but I guess in the end, they are successful in giving us some of the most gorgeous music. I wish them all the best and continued success. Thanks again for this program! 2024-10-09T19:47:48Z Comment by Moniker This was great! Thank you! Really enjoyed it. 2024-08-31T13:59:33Z Comment by Waldo Jeffers Another fantastic piece of work Ken, you’re racking up a fine catalogue of really great documentaries now. Selfishly though I am waiting for you to do one on Christmas Thomson’s The Bathers. Another singular & unheralded Scottish band who also started out on Go records, then the German Marina label. They are back after a very long hiatus with no a brilliant new album “Siren” think Bowie, Waits, Buchanan, Ferry, Romance, strings, cats on pianos & wild Swans at Coole. A wonderful back catalogue to delve into for anyone else that likes what Ken explores in these works. 2024-06-01T13:22:23Z Comment by Eugene Unger Fabulous Ken! Who’s next on your list?

I had no idea! 2024-05-29T16:16:06Z Comment by Alan Haire Thanks for doing this documentary Ken Sweeney. 'The Perfect Reminder' of how good the TCS are, particularly 'Cake' and 'I've Seen Everything', which are 2 stone cold classics! Good to see the band being kept relevant and in the spotlight! 2024-05-28T14:10:46Z Comment by RD59 Thanks. Loving it out in the Czech sunshine.
