This is the playlist for my Slice Audio show Around the World Fridays 19:00 to 21:00 UCT 22 March 2019.
“Welcome to Slovakia” they sing on Hit, a track on Hrdza’s new album Neskrotený. It is a thrill of an album using wit, style and excellent musicianship.
In 2017 and 2018 I published A Firsthand Guide to Bled, Slovenia. This is the 2018 edition.
This is the playlist – but not necessarily the order, of Around the World on Slice Audio 15 March 2019.
A downloadable version of the show is also available.
This is the 2018 edition of Firsthand Guide to Bled, so a little out of date, but like its author still useful……

This is the playlist (but not necessarily the order!) from my Around The World show on Slice Audio for International Women’s Day 8 March 2019.
Week 3 playlist and a version of the live show.
Last week (15 February 2019) I started a show on Slice Audio streaming on the internet.
Here is the playlist for week 1
Three chords and a guitar? Community podcasters have an audio recorder and a determination to have their voices heard. Just like punks in the 1970s who demystified the record industry.
“More than 50 women’s voices you should hear” is a spin off from the imaginary Mediterranean tour. This is the first of probably four posts
Almost two years ago, I set out on an imaginary journey around the Mediterranean to explore the music and hear how such diverse cultures and peoples could influence each other and rely on each other for development in modern music.
A new mix for the weekend. Some of the tunes connect, some don’t. Overall they are a random selection. There are bands and tunes you have never heard before (honestly worth hearing) and some you’ve forgotten you even knew.
The end of the journey and the music of Morocco. The music is real, the trip (as is the grilled fish sitting on a Moroccan beach) is imagined.
With the exception of Libya, north Africa has been incredibly rewarding. No less Algeria.
This is my fantasy journey around the Mediterranean Sea in search of music.
Tunisia – you are outstanding. Read about the musicians, listen to the music.
On our fantasy tour of the Mediterranean we arrive in Egypt. The music on this playlist has been a real pleasure to compile. It is full of surprises; traditional, experimental, avant garde, even.
My second MixCloud mix. If nothing else punk has having a bloody good time – hence the title of this episode Punk! Ha ha!
After much messing about I have signed up to Mixcloud to try it out. Not so many clever mixes, more a playlist.
This is a Song from Europe part 1 (there may be more) and the first episode on what I call Davy Sims’s World Music Radio.
My communications mantra hasn’t changed much over the years. I have found it serves me well.
Župan Janez Fajfar has been re-elected mayor of Bled once again. He was standing unopposed. Here is an interview he did for the Firsthand Guide to Bled.
I like big ambitious ideas. And this is one I am involved with. The plan is to open a hotel on Belfast’s Shankill Road.
I’m going to be running a podcast training workshop on 22 November at Ormeau Baths in Belfast. The organiser and promoter is View Digital.
My imaginary journey around the Mediterranean seeking out music I can share brings me to Palestine – and some of the most interesting music so far.
