YYYY-MM-DD
* 1992-05-16

Comments
* The Gospel Fish 7" was apparently a gift from John Peel.
* Noting that session guest Honeyboy Edwards claims to have been with Robert Johnson on the night he died, Andy wrily observes, *"along with Johnny Shines and about half a dozen other itinerant bluesmen. Good lord, if we are to believe them all, they must have had a minibus.*"
* Alain Kounkou is making a personal appearance at a wine bar / cafe (Cafe Piaf) at Waterloo Station next Saturday night. Kershaw says how he'd mentioned in last week's programme that he'd seen Tabu Ley Rochereau at the venue the weekend before that.
* He has to fade out the track by Emeneya *"just as the guitars are about to start flying"* as the news at 10:30 is looming. He promises to play it in full on his next show - which he does, on 30 May 1992, there being no show the following week.
* The vocalist on the track by Transit (Culture Tee) had given Kershaw a copy of the LP in person on Wednesday night.
* While reading out the tour dates for Eddie LeJeune, D.L. Menard & Ken Smith, Kershaw mentions that on 26th May they will be recording a session for the programme in Maida Vale. This session does not appear to have been broadcast, if indeed it was even recorded.

Footnotes
1. ↑ Although Kershaw gives the title of the cassette as "OUO", some digging on the internet reveals that this was a self-released cassette album issued by the group in 1990, the second of two such tapes. Andy states that it is available from a label / distributor called Natari, based in Goring on Sea in West Sussex.
