Billy Mackenzie, Fairport Convention & Renaissance with Maria McKee and Jo Kendall

You're Not On The List

Jim Irvin is joined by two more bringers of undervalued joy: country-punk pioneer with a thousand years of LA heritage, and creator of one of the show's favourite albums, Maria McKee, and long-time staffer of Prog magazine, Jo Kendall.

The albums up for discussion are: Billy Mackenzie - Transmission Impossible (2004), Fairport Convention - Fairport Convention (1968) and Renaissance - Renaissance (1969)

Also discussed: burying the Queen, hanging out in LA with Love's Bryan Maclean (Maria's brother), trauma and mental illness as a spur for art, the wide world of contemporary prog, knitting to Hendrix, singing Beefheart in the bath and much more.
