What was originally going to be a ‘Dead & Alive‘ show turned in to two hours of quality musicians who’ve passed away with incredible legacies. Right after recording this Paul Ackroyd jumped on his bike and is peddling around various parts of the country, no doubt picking up tracks and recordings along the way. Next Awkward Movements show on NTS will be going out next Monday, 26th of November. Get locked.
Feels like a distant memory now, but as it was Armistice Day on Sunday, we at Awkward Movements thought we’d have a little death disco and take a minute to remember some of the musicians that are sadly no longer with us. Tune in for total hits from Lonnie Donegan, Captain Beefheart, King Tubby, Bo Diddley, and a whole load more…
