  • Fantastic music recommendations and rambles

    I stumbled across Sombrero Fallout after listening to a glowing recommendation from Adam Buxton. I then loved working my way through the back catalogue of 150 episodes. Ian’s choices are great and I’ve come across a few missed gems from back in the day too. I now greatly look forward to my bimonthly alternative music rambles.

  • A Real Gem

    What a find! (thank you Dr Buckles for the recommendation ). I’ve already insatiably consumed 3 episodes in one sitting. Stanley Brinks and The Wave Pictures were a great discovery. Thank you for the great songs.
