The Rag Bag is filled with all sorts of odd tunes.
There are small label oddments from the early 80s, tribute albums to bands whose original records were more obscure, local samplers and all kinds of better known stuff. Some of it bought cheap, some of it found for free and even some bought at the going rate.
There's stuff you don't know, stuff you ought to know and all of it wrapped in the sort of information that sounds like it ought to be true on the rare occasion that it isn't.
There will usually be more information on the broadcasts at http://wamccabe.wordpress.com with playlists, links and other thoughts
About William McCabe
William McCabe isn't from round here. OK so he's lived here since he was 6 but he's from Croydon. He's never been a student. Didn't even get beyond O levels at school. And he's an ex-IT-guy.
He's seen more local bands than most people would ever want to, including dozens of Sunday nights at the barrel organ.
He's got records that the experts on the obscure probably haven't heard of and probably wouldn't want if they had.
He believes there's gold in them thar bargain bins and some real good stuff with creative commons licenses.
He's also on the committee of a group that promotes science fiction so you've got to accept just that little bit of detachment from reality.
