The great experimental easy-listening pianist Arthur Ferrante (of "and Teicher" fame) sadly left us this week so we played some of his music. The urban spaceman himself, Neil Innes, came to Edinburgh on 2 October the which gave us a chance to play some of his music. There was also more from the MPS label, tracks from new albums by Kelpe, Broadcast + The Focus Group and lots more besides (mainly of the organ persuasion).
