	Fri.: SOUND QUALITY - For 25 years, Tim Ritchie has been seeking out 
music: the interesting, the evolutionary, the inaccessible and the 
wonderful. [abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/] for details and playlists. 
Tim writes, "When I think of what's in this week's program... I ponder, 
do I let the surprises out now or save then up.... well that's pretty 
easy really - for no matter what I write, you can't hear what I'm 
writing about. So let me whet your aural appetite with a couple of big 
items..... electro/acoustic delights from japan, brit blip from a 
future star, finnish funk, there's even 70s funk and contemporary 
acoustic jazz." [T;%]

1305 -
	THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans with jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and 
more in a show artfully arranged for radio. 
[abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
		Wed.: Sean Tyrrell is a singer from Galway who has been described as 
‘the most intensely moving, soulful and talented singer of ballads and 
traditional songs in Ireland today.’ He lived and performed in Galway 
and Greenwich Village in the '60s and San Francisco and New Hampshire 
in the '70s before returning home, but didn’t make a solo record until 
1996. His new album’s title: “The Best of Sean Tyrrell: Man For Galway” 
is a bit of a misnomer because 7 of its tracks are new to disc, 
recorded intimately in Sean’s home. His warm baritone really gets 
inside a song so there are no unnecessary frills.
		Thu.: “Armenia Anthology” acknowledges “the remarkable historical 
integrity of Armenian culture flies in the face of a history marked by 
unflagging political instability.” The first country to have adopted 
Christianity as its state religion, Armenia has been a crossroads, a 
battleground & a centre of learning for thousands of years. A thousand 
years ago its biggest city was larger & more sophisticated than any in 
Western Europe. Musically the sacred & secular, the “art” & the “folk” 
aspects are intimately inter-connected. They’re nicely surveyed here by 
The Shoghaken Ensemble. “Shoghaken” means “source of light”. The music 
is generally haunting, most especially when the ensemble’s founder 
Gevorg Dabaghyan exercises his mastery of the duduk - the Armenian 
“oboe” which sounds like no other oboe. Its fine singers are brother & 
sister: Hasmik & Aleksan Harutyunyan.
		Fri.: Eric Bibb has done the hardest thing in acoustic blues. He has 
evolved his own style – a smooth and sincere gospel/blues amalgam of 
traditional songs mixed with his own compositions that speak quietly to 
the modern heart. His new album features 15 songs, each with a 
different friend – Taj Mahal, Guy Davis, Martin Simpson, Harry Manx, 
Charlie Musselwhite and Led Ka’apana among them, but he also 
collaborates with musical friends who were unknown to us previously. 
We’re sure you’ll be glad to meet them all on ‘Friends’.
