Music reviewer Grant Smithies - Idris Elba & more...

From Nine To Noon, 11:05 am on 31 January 2020

Fresh back from a beach in Abel Tasman, Grant Smithies selects songs today that work well with sandy togs and a tan. We'll hear some righteous New York boogaloo from San Sebastian 152, a Jamaican classic from Michael Palmer and a salt-addled shanty from Dunedin "doom folk" quintet Tiny Pieces of Eight, and then revisit a summer dancehall tune from UK grime producer Wiley and actor Idris Elba.
