Dolly Parton, was a talented singer, and business woman, also keen on promoting new artists and bands.
One of the best cover versions, Queen Adreena - "Jolene". Was made up, of KatieJane Garside, of whom John Peel was a big fan.
RIP Dolly Parton.

Apologies not much notice for this, but we have various issues going on at present. Today marks the anniversary of John Peel's last programme for @BBCR1 before he sadly passed away. If you visit https://t.co/t4nkRzgBDf we will be repeating this programme from 2200 hours #johnpeel
Remembering John Peel, who passed away in 2004, he would have been 86 years old. Still sadly missed. Also, update on the future of Strange Fruit Radio here: https://t.co/uAspwCJiku
Last Sunday the Strange Fruit Radio Server experienced several outages, which led to a hardware error, which has unfortunately damaged the the Hard Drive. The damage is extensive, but you can listen via this stream: http://195.166.151.210:8000/stream We are working to resolve.
I wanted to create a reimagined version of ‘Wish You Were Here’ firstly because it’s a beautiful and timeless song by Pink Floyd and secondly because it resonates deeply with modern times, even 50 years after its release.
At its core I feel it speaks to the recurring human experience of loss, disconnection and yearning for authenticity. Are we as a society repeating history- failing to learn from past mistakes of war, political division and environmental or human neglect? Could we be doing more to learn from our past?
If covering this song showed me anything, it’s that no matter the time in history, humans still share the same emotional and spiritual struggles.
FULL VERSION COMING SOON 😏

Our external world is a mirror of our internal world. Our emotions reflect our thoughts.
Our thoughts and words carry so much power- we become what we tell ourselves each day. We have the ability to completely shift our world and reality with our words and thoughts alone. I find that profound and empowering.
The key to happiness does not seem to be changing our lives until we reach a point where we’re finally content, but rather, finding contentedness in each day with what we already have. And then realising just how much we actually have.

This was an absolute joy to record. From the wobbly finances of the Cocteaus to how his label Bella Union construct their record deals, Simon is wonderfully informative, insightful, funny and just occasionally annoyed. What a diamond he is.
