This week, Rahmah Pauzi continues her conversation with several migrant activ...

How exactly the Irish outfit came to be captured so effectively is still in dispute but we'll be featuring tracks from Thin Lizzy’s Live And Dangerous (1978) — often cited as a benchmark, a slick double that pushed them into the front rank of rock. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite a huge hit single in the mid-'70s ("The Boys Are Back in Town") and becoming a popular act with hard rock/heavy metal fans, Thin Lizzy are still, in the pantheon of '70s rock bands, underappreciated. Formed in the late '60s by Irish singer/songwriter/bassist Phil Lynott, Lizzy, though not the first band to do so, combined romanticized working-class sentiments with their ferocious, twin-lea...

Christmas albums have been part of the scenery almost since the invention of the gramophone. This has led to quite a motley crew of cash-in dross but also the odd hint of real gold.

This week, we feature their recently released It's A Holiday Soul P...
