Barfe Night is back. Well, it was back last week, but the host was off Facebook.

06/03/2021

Well, there's a likelihood that Barfe Night will be returning to live radio sooner rather than later. It won't be on a Thursday, but change is inevitable. CHANGE IS GOOD. Watch this space. It's all for you.

In the words of Björk, this wasn't supposed to happen. However, the death of Chris Barber, the arrival of a banging new release and the desire to promote a streamed gig prompted me to pull my finger out and do a new Barfe Night. Keeps me off the streets, I guess. Oh hang on, no, that's just the law. So, Chris Barber, an explanation of the birth of EVERYTHING from Hugh Mendl, the Electric Lady Big Band and Queen Mab. It's what's good for you.
