This week we had a pretty great introduction to the weird and wonderful joys of library music from Mici Durnin. Mici regularly plays records with the B-Music crew in Dublin, Cork and Manchester. So listen on and I hope you enjoy.

An introduction to some labels, production houses and the personnel responsible for making music intended for use in the background of film, TV, radio and advertising. Concentrating on the key decades of the 60′s, 70′s and up to the 80′s with some contemporary influenced artists thrown in… Library music is typically based on an unknown narrative and generally without the confines of song structure – music for pictures that don’t yet exist; music full of imagination and experimentation; and crucially, created by the musicians with the chops to pull it off. Incidental sounds that make the world go round.
