Today’s Sunday City Musicbox provides a chilled out soundtrack to get you through a lazy Sunday afternoon, with plenty of Midlands artists in the mix, as well as some great remixes from local producer/promoter Sam Redmore. The usual blend of music you remember, music you’ve forgotten and some music you’ve never heard before.

As Sunday City Musicbox has an ever growing listenership based in the Big Apple (and it is the place I’d most like to visit in the world), I decided to pay homage to the wealth of music produced there and take a brief look at some of the city’s greatest artists.

Look out for more NY greats of the past and present in future shows; two hours is simply not enough time!
