YardFest Saltaire

16/12/2025

My Christmas episode of YardFest Jazz hour is out tonight at 8pm on BCB Radio. For reasons beyond our control we were suddenly guestless at the very last minute so the show plan went out of the window.

What to do ? Cancel? - naaaa. Here is a fully seat of the pants Christmas episode of radio. Thanks to Steve Brimble on production and also for hastily helping with song suggestions and crazy time management in the background. You could see the whites of our eyes but hey - it’s a great episode and very Christmassy. Tune in…
