Back Porch Bluegrass Show - 06-10-2026 A wide range of the bluegrass genre on this week’s show, including music from Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Dan Tyminski, JD Crowe, and banjo player Bill Evans. The Infamous Stringdusters dust off their strings, and the Foggy Hogtown Boys sing through the fog. Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers sing about ‘Blue Collars Blues’, and Longview do a fine version of an old Reno & Smiley gospel tune. There’s some NZ ‘folk’ music from the 1960’s with the Convairs , also the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band, and Jeanette Williams rounds out this very varied show. I also pay tribute to Andrew Bicknell, Wellington-based entrepreneur and bass player, who has run the Wellington Bluegrass Society for 30 years to provide a performance platform for a wide range of acoustic music performers. RIP Andrew. Listen

Ep 175 - Glenn Gould's 1955 Recording of The Goldberg Variations I’ve never been terribly attracted to Bach’s music, but that all changed the first time I heard Gould’s recording. My tastes are modernist and Gould’s contemporary interpretation of Bach’s work hit all the right notes for me and I still clearly remember the excitement that I felt as I listened. But it was more than that……Gould took me out myself, and those kinds of musical experiences are rare and to be treasured. Glenn Gould performs J S Bach - The Goldberg Variations. Exploring classical music in all its glories and complexities. From the sweetest melodic to the cutting edge of the avant-garde... from the deep past to the freshest contemporary. All of it. The joy of classical music. Listen
