The Blue Of The Night,10.00pm, RTÉ lyric fm, Saturday to Friday
Pianist Bill Carrothers' new CD Family Life gets the Blue Tunes treatment on this great late-night radio series. Private tenderness is the prevailing mood throughout the record and presenters Carl Corcoran and Eamonn Lenihan will be dipping into this solo recording each night. If you love great music you just have to tune in every night - The Blue Of The Night is kind of addictive and in its own way soporific. But in another way it's not a soporific, because you might find yourself fighting to stay awake, in fear of missing great gems.
