We always had the radio on in my last office in Edinburgh. It was usually on Radio 1, but every afternoon I used to turn over to Radio Scotland for Mr Anderson's fine tunes, where the excellent Iain Anderson would play a mixture of traditional/folkie & orchestral music for a couple of hours, with good chat/background on the stuff being played and plenty decent guests too. My workmates used to moan about it but I was bigger than them so tough shit.

Anyway, after a few weeks they started turning over to Mr Anderson whether I was in the office or not.

I'm still quite proud of that.

Can't stop playing shinedown since I went to their gig in Glasgow. Always gets me motivated. Haven't had that affect since my punk days. Love disturbed and ghost too. Ironically my boys favourite bands. They loved all the new wave stuff especially elvis costello so lovely I'm loving some of their stuff.
 
Well I was watching the Moody Blues playing with an orchestra on Sky Arts.But 3 tunes in I thought 'this is soporiphic! Nice tunes but deary me it wouldnae scare the horses.So I'm now watching the Hairy Bikers.

Nice hearin that again and seein it was Toots Thielemans, a Belgian musician whose sound inspired even to this day the big money ads on Dutch telly for the biggest-selling pea soup manufacturer (search 'unox erwtensoep reklame' on YT) in the Low Countries.

They sell most of their stuff in the cold winter months and the Thielemans sound seems to invoke that coming in from the cold feeling that the Dutch romanticise ('cosiness' or gezelligheid).

The Dutch equivalent of Oxo cubes, I guess.

You heard it here first thx to @hibbybilly 's choice, don't blame me for useless trivia!
 
Both the film and soundtrack are excellent D. Excellent trivia from you too after watching Jim Goodwin making a laughing stock of himself. 😊
Toots was the best and have listened tae his version many times.
