Gulls Window Circus returns to un-themed music following last week’s conclusion of the 24-week folk-like/folk-unlike series. Today is a non-rock show. I’ve taken the binary approach or rock/non-rock, so some of the artists here might be more of a grey area, appearing in both depending on the song (I’m thinking of Kalahari Surfers, Ultravox, Bene Gesserit, Fun Boy Three, Moonshake, OMD, and Bryan Ferry). In other areas, Dimitri From Paris brings my first exposure to Jamiroquai in his re-edit, Vibes4YourSoul re-edits Gal Costa, and Carol Douglas gives the first-wave disco treatment to Doors’ Light My Fire.

The twelfth and final week of the alphabetical Gulls Window Circus series folk-unlike covers the letters W-Z, with a respectable 7 entries for Z. The Edgar Winter track has been running through my head all week. Traffic’s flutist Chris Wood has a great track. If you don’t remember John Wonderling from his track in the folk-like series, here is another chance to hear him. There are 2 Stones artists in solo mode: Ron Wood and Bill Wyman. The label Big Potato records introduced me to Tucker Zimmerman – here is another track for you. If you are a Barbara Manning fan, World Of Pooh are here. If you love to dig deeper, Zenamon, ZSOU and ZuZu’s Petals are here. Sad to see the combined 24 weeks of folk-like and folk-unlike series come to an end, but here we are – hope you have enjoyed, and stick with the Circus as it moves on to other genres next week.

The eleventh week of the folk-unlike series on Gulls Window Circus covers the letters T-W. Three of my top artists ever (Television, Johnny Thunders, Tom Verlaine), the Modfather/Cappuccino Kid (Paul Weller), a Norwegian band that inspired Gull Boy (Mats Wawa), a band I used to write to about gigs in the Turkish Delight days (Travis Pickle), 2 artists I loved since their starting-off bands (Russ Tolman with Suspects/True West, and Jack Waterson with Green On Red) are here, plus post-Rain Parade band Viva Saturn and many others to love and learn, each with their own story.
