500 seems like a good place to end. 

This show has been running since around 2010, it emerged from the remains of a very similar show called Reformation which was originally aired on Salford City Radio. It has travelled around a bit since then but ended up in a good place on Thursday evenings on taintradio. 

However it is safe to say that with the exception of a few hard core fans it has not really developed a huge following. In addition of late I have found it increasingly more difficult to find material enough to fill two hours. So this version of Aural Delights retires with this edition. 

The one hour Sunday afternoon show on RIver Gibbs FM however does remain in place and that will be the place where I will showcase new non-jazz music. 

In this slot next week there will be another World of Jazz Show - yes there will be four hours of new jazz to listen to each week. Over time the Thursday night jazz show will focus on free/improvised music.

Thanks to everyone who contributed music to the Aural Delights show over the last 12 years - and thanks to those of you who took the time out to listen.

So for the final show a selection of favourites, some new things and one or two things that seemed to reflect the content over the years.
