| X-Ray Moon - January 2025 X-Ray Moon wishes everyone a happy, peaceful, healthy and surrealist 2025. Moon hits the ground running for his first show of the year... if possibly running on his knees backwards. A tumultuously splendiferous blend of old and (mainly) new tracks are presented to us to ease us gently into the shock of the post holiday period. He offers us a couple of Puddy tracks, one old one new; a new track from an album that Moony has just purchased by the Shop Regulars; Tommy And The Teleboys from Germany are on tour at the moment in Germany, and, Moon believes, should be seen by anyone who happens to be over in that part of the world. Nicole Hale's beautiful music and voice eases us towards the latter part of the show along with the following track that is haunting and intriguing in equal measures, by Advance Base... With lots of other surprises, X-Ray Moon wishes everyone all the happiest of Dandelions for 2025, and hopes everyone enjoys the show. | ||||
