After 78 shows, and 75 inimitable disections of folk songs. The Garden Sessions can exclusively reveal that Dave "The Angles" Gimble will be bringing his trademark "Angle" feature to a close on this year's Christmas Special of the Garden Sessions.

Dave's Angle began as a means to explain the sometimes tricky traditional language within folk songs (or ballads) in a more accessable way.

Die Hard listeners may remember the moment from May 2006, when a fresh faced Jack Foster & Tom Harland, posed a wide eyed Dave with a challenge - to explain the story within the traditional Scots song 'Jock o' Braidisley' as sung by Neil Thomson.

Dave told Garden Sessions listeners that the decision to bring the angle to a close was due to his fear that "whilst there may be many many songs still ripe for angling, the stories and morals tend to become quite similair over time and this could be a good time to bring a fresh feature to the show..."

Dave's last ever angle can be heard on the Christmas Special (episode 78), it centres around the seasonal Gaelic offering 'King of Kings' from Fiona Mackenzie's album 'Duan Nollaig'.
