What started out as a Happy birthday tribute and a massive nod to Peter Gabriel – morphed into Balance Digs New World Records.

The artists on the Real World Record label is astonishing and this mix barely scratches the surface of the talent there.

I will put do a blog for this show and some links on our website www.nudirectionsfm.com during the next few days – also a video of Peter Gabriel’s stunning ‘live’ in your eyes with Youssou N'Dou, Angela Kidjo and the Soweto gospel choir.
