The first part of the show today is a loving tribute to Fred Cole, the leader of Dead Moon, a true embodiment of rock’n’roll independence, who passed away on November 9 after losing a battle with cancer. Then we also introduce the new records for Legendary Shack Shakers, Cotton Mather and Samantha Fish, who rejoined forces with Luther Dickinson for her new album, already second this year. We introduce Proto Idiot from Manchester UK, for the first time at The Little Lighthouse. In honor of Fred Cole, today’s show is mixed mono.
Today we start off with the recently reunited Australian 80s band Ratcat. Then we check out Sweet Apple covering April Wine, just as they are preparing the new album Sing The Night in Sorrow, which is due this Summer (but you know how those things always get delayed…).
