Form a disorderly Q...
After an interesting, diverse and occasionally educational 'previous bands' theme for the letter P, we hit quite a hard one with Q! Thanks for all your suggestions on air and online, as it's got us here thinking about what would make an inspiring programme, but still give everyone a chance to be involved. Much to the chagrin of any musos out there, we decided against Quarter Notes or Quarter Tones. Quads (or Quartets) was suggested by the ever reliant Jim Frae Erskine and Susan in Stirling, with Debbie O'Neill getting all Quarelsome and Janice from Ellon simply deciding on The Quo! Joe in Linlithgow had a good one with Quality/Quantity (too much/too little, the best of... etc) and lots of you nominating Quiffs, Quitting or Quiet songs.
However, after much deliberation and office arm-wrestling, we ended up agreeing with Fiona on the M8, DC in Cellardyke and many others... 'Questions in song titles' is our theme. Get those suggestions to us via all the usual methods and I look forward to the musical merriment that ensues on the show!

From time to time we hear arguments that old guys should retire. This (actually the whole album) is the counterargument that wins every time.

Yeah, I caught the interview too - wonderful stuff.
There was also a biodoc a few weeks ago which had footage from the sessions that went into the new album. It's mostly just a bunch of guys in the studio, playing together, a couple of takes per track. And the result is gold.
