The Record Machine

Pat Carty cranks up The Record Machine every Friday at 12pm, shining a light into the darkest recesses of a record collection that's already cost him three marriages and one mayoral election. Expect to be transported to a Chicago recording studio in the 1940s one minute, and a garage in Dublin from last week the next, taking in Mali, Memphis, Kingston, and Nashville - and all stops in between - while he's at it. There's a fair to middling chance he'll do a bit of talking too.
