Here’s some biog material should you need it. “Davy Sims is a multi-award winning media producer specialising in radio and web production.” Read on …
Let me know what you think I should be listening to or playing. Leave me your email if you wish.
My party-piece was singing Jake Thackray songs (or Thackery as I have wrongly called him for the last 50 years). With my Craviola CRA-6N guitar – the odd shaped one which distracted from me being barely able to play it – I changed my voice to a deep slightly plummy Yorkshire accent and – at the drop of a hat – played Brother Gorilla and Sister Josephine.
During the summer in particular I prefer to let the music speak for itself. This week – and in subsequent weeks – the emphasis will be on almost continuous music with minimal interruption. It’s even more important then to sign up on Substack for previews
This week, I’m playing musicians from Algeria, Australia, Basque Country, Benin, Colombia, Finland, France, Italy, Jamaica, Lebanon, Mali, Mexico, New Zealand, Niger, Ireland, Palestine, Scotland, Spain, Sudan, Texas, and Turkey.
Listen to this week’s show here.
In two weeks’ time a major music festival is to be held in Brno, the Czech Republic’s second largest city. Brno, like Belfast, is a UNESCO City of Music part of the Creative Cities Network. The festival’s programme [here] ranges through busking to opera. I can’t be at Maraton hudby Brno, although I’ve been invited. Instead I’ll be playing music from some of the people who will be appearing in the Festival, throughout the show.
Music from Estonia, Reunion, Berlin, Portugal, Sweden, Mali, New Zealand, Hawaii and a whole bunch more. Around the World – the global jukebox plays all sorts of music form all sorts of places.
40 years ago this week, on 16 July 1982, the first WOMAD festival was held. It was in Shepton Mallet in England. World Music had arrived. Peter Gabriel, of course was the Godfather. I’ll be playing some of those artists from Live At WOMAD 1982 released on 16 July this year. It’s the album of the week.
On Around the World this week there’s Latin music from Slovakia, we’ll hear from Iraq, Jamaica, Mali, Bosnia, Japan, Brazil, England, Scotland, Wales, Denmark and Cyprus. Our featured album this week comes from a band who formed in Tennessee, at a whiskey distillery.
This is around the world – the antidote to airport queues, security checks, cancelled flights and badly behaved passengers. Kick off your shoes, put up your feet, put on the sleep mask and drift off on the magic carpet that is Around the World.

A few days before the Tallinn Music Week programme was announced, Russia invaded Ukraine after several years of occupation of the east of the country. This was prefaced by a significant strategy of anti-Ukraine propaganda by the Kremlin in Russia and in the east of Ukraine. “TMW will take place in Tallinn and Narva as a statement of solidarity: each of us in Europe is as safe and strong as our border states and communities.” The TMW website announced soon after the invasion.
