Good evening everyone, Welcome to the Black History Month edition of the show. Two eminent poets whose poetry is set here to a mostly dub-style musical background. Looking ahead to our next edition, we'll hear the first in an occasional series of shows where the tunes all refer to arts, artists or galleries. If you'd like to suggest a tune along those lines, please pop it on this evening's interactive chat Enjoy the show :-).

Hi Chris, I’m looking forward to tonight’s show. We will have to pay close attention to the words so that we can appreciate the dub poetry.

Here is a song that might fit the theme for the next edition “Lightfoot” by The Guess Who.

Thanks Shelley, an interesting choice in that the song depicts a musician as a painter type of artist. And so it will also fit another edition in the calendar where all the tunes namecheck other musicians.

Thanks Shelley for the Ice House suggestion, not heard that one in a long while.

This one’s probably already on your list—probably one of the most obvious “Pictures At An Exhibition. “
