This is the final *weekly* episode of The After Eight Show thougfh we are doing three 'Best Of''s in the coming weeks. Lots of beautiful new music that we've been saving up over the past 12 months. It really is a fabulous selection this week! In our LUVVA COVER feature, we played a stripped back version of one of Tori Amos's most amazing songs. Jo Beth Young was asked to contribute a cover version to a tribute album which will be released in 2022. It truly is stunning and is a VERY appropriate way in which to close this feature in which we have played some really interesting takes on some fabulous songs.
