A tad concerned that the lack of tropical music in that selection may indicate a somewhat inward perspective on life induced by the colder weather?

Ah yes, Devo. My 2 lads were absolutely fascinated by the official video clip for 'Whip It' - once seen, never forgotten.
Shetland Fiddle Music - best seen live in Lerwick??? Planning on a trip up there next year, can't wait.

Not really Bedders: actually quite a jaunty selection (except perhaps the Monteverdi, which is more spiritually uplifting)...but you're right in one sense, the start of winter proper doesn't exactly have you reaching for the tropical tunes! Devo are bloody brilliant. As for that Shetland fiddle record, best heard anywhere but if you can find that quality of fiddler these days (maybe you can), then a nice Lerwick snug would be nice!

Ali Bain and Phil Cunningham in a Lerwick snug would suit me (but would the beer?)
Many years ago (probably about 1978; it was when I was kicking my heels before fleeing to Africa as an economic migrant) I used to go to a pub somewhere in Holloway or Islington (my geography of the Great Wen is shaky) and regularly saw a band called, I think, Tennis Shoes or Tennis Elbow or something like who did rather wonderful Devo impressions; the nearest I got to the real thing.

The public house was neither in Islington nor Holloway but in nearby Tollington Park.

Surely Tollington Park is a road in the borough of Islington?

It's in the Borough of Islington, but it's not that close to what Londoners call Islington. Pilot

Holloway is also in the borough of Islington. Central Islington is where Upper Street meets Essex Road (formerly Lower Street).
