More detailed acknowledgements and links to them all are given below. To hear any of the songs (if your computer can handle MP3 files, as it probably can) just click the underlined song title.
* Basin Street Blues played by Jazz No Problem of Prague. This is a 'Charles Bridge Special' Version of the jazz classic. It can be heard live on the famous old bridge across the Vltava River in Prague. I am very grateful to Václav Kamínek and the other members of the band for allowing me to use it.

Yn Sowsnek As an illustration of the link between music and poetry (not a direct one), here is Another Sacred Heart by Mick Paynter. Apart from the accompaniment provided by Mel 3, try listening to the sounds of a language that most visitors to the site won't be able to understand.
* Last Man in Europe is a track by Section 25. LAST MAN IN EUROPE is taken from the Section 25 CD, Love & Hate. I am very grateful to Vin Cassidy and the others for allowing me permission to use it. See the essay of the same title on this site: link below.

The CD was produced on the Unlabelled label by Irregular Records. I am very grateful to Tracey for allowing me permission to use it. The song, like the others on If the Moon Could Talk, was written by herself and recorded at Steer Studios, Tairgwaith.
