My latest playlist is one of my most eclectic yet. It begins with one of the all-time pop classics (Ronettes) and ends with an aptly valedictory elegy for one of those we lost in February (Bill Fay).

In between there’s art rock and punk rock, prog rock and post-rock, hip-hop, disco and a triple helping of vintage funk, plus a double dose of rocksteady and reggae. All that and tributes to those we lost in the month of February (Marianne Faithfull, Roberta Flack, Rick Buckler and Susan Alcorn, Bill Fay).
