For roughly the last decade Herman Dune have been one of my favourite bands, and I’m not alone in this. Their fans never just like their music, they love it. One perfect example of this is John Peel, an early fan who invited them to record more than ten Peel Sessions.
David Ivar, the lead singer and song writer for Herman Dune has just launched a new solo project calling himself Black Yaya. On this weeks show Simple Folk Radio is both honored and humbled to have Black Yaya as our special guest host, sharing with us some of his favourite records of all time and even performing a couple of songs live in session.
