The Shuffle

Over many decades Mike Edgar and Donna Legge have witnessed hundreds of performances in person or via radio and TV broadcasts - and on this new series they plan to relive their favourite moments. No Genres will be exempt – pop, rock, jazz, folk, soul, punk, classical and blues are all in the mix. There's also plenty of adventure across the eras – with tracks recorded as far back as the early 1960s alongside memorable live music moments from the last few months.

During this edition – an amazing treat for Van Morrisson fans with the first ever radio play of an iconic Van track recorded live on Cyprus Avenue. Also - the iconic Gary Moore takes to the stage, Paul Brady performs a surprising duet while The Frames and The Flaming Lips both feature all alongside some new acts - Dani Larkin and Dea Matrona for a start.
