    The London Ear // Show 277

    Hello from the land that is no longer the EU. Not my fault, I voted remain.

    Rather than wallow in the state of the United Kingdom, I’ve decided that this week’s episode of The London Ear, should really highlight some of the great music that being produced in mainland Europe. A bit like Eurovision, but with less glitter stuck in places you didn’t know existed.

    My views are my views, not those of any of my employers, just FYI.
