The BritMix plays...
- Blues, folk, rock 'n 'roll, punk, the classier sort of pop, electric folk, jazz; home-made music and studio music, big music and small; the weird and the wonderful, the sparky and the strange - anything and everything from the 1960s, '70s, '80s, '90s right up to the latest releases from indie labels and even from the mega studios... but it must be British. New singles, old rarities, forgotten classics, album out-takes, singer-songwriters - the majestic, the quirky; the catchy and occasionally the almost incomprehensible. The BritMix.
