[kj] The Orb & Lee Scratch Perry - Fact mix

[Rich Hopkins]

I don't know if any of you have caught the Lee Perry half hour radio shows
airing at midnight on 6music this week but they have been very, very good.

Basically it's been Perry talking about and playing his musical loves - not
as reggaecentric as you might expect. If you like the sound of his voice
(and he could read the Daily Mail out and release it and I'd buy it) it's
well worth a listen. Doesn't make a lot of sense at time mind.

Dunno if you can still catch them from their website but you webmonkeys can
work that out for yourselves. And you should.
