2017-04-30: Jarvis decides it's high time for a spring clean. He ventures into an attic untouched for 15 years, sifting through records and books of poems to dust off hidden treasures. He also sorts out mislaid bags of records brought home from work and plays the new music he's discovered. Alongside this, we think about: the Gaelic May Day festival of Beltane; Honesty Day; poetry; and the best music to accompany a tidying spree. Birthdays: Alice B Toklas, Serafina Steer, Tony Harrison and Jane Campion (with dialogue from her Keats biopic Bright Star).
