ZANI - The Sound of 2018 – End of Year Playlist Part 1
Written by Sean Diamond
2018 has been a great year for music. I’d argue it’s been the best year for new music of the 21st century so far, in fact. Which is why I’ve felt compelled to make another playlist, following on from my January to March one a few months earlier. This list covers the April to June period, compiling my favourite Albums and Eps of these three months, after which I hope to make one more covering July to December which will hopefully land in the new year. Here’s hoping 2019 will be even better!

Singularly he developed the harmonica as a lead instrument influencing a large number of blues harmonica performers, including Billy Boy Arnold, Junior Wells, Sonny Terry, Little Walter, and Snooky Pryor among many others.

I can’t say for certain when I developed my love of Ska music. There was no defining moment when I heard “Willow Tree” by Alton Ellis and my world was turned on its head. My coming of age was in the dark and distant nineties, a world of MDMA fuelled warehouse parties and the guitar bands of Manchester.
