Show 134 – Ten out of ten – marks the tenth anniversary of the very first It’s A Frog’s Life Acoustic Podcast and I’m celebrating it by doing exactly the same as I’ve done for the last ten years, playing great independent and unsigned acoustic music from around the world. Amongst the ten tracks (there had to be ten, right?) are a number connected in one way or another with the number ten. Why? Well, why not!
