I have port (both store bought and home made) and a thumb piano. This can only mean it's the first part of the annual Edinburgh Man end-of-year poll results show.

Throughout the month of December listeners to the podcast have been voting for their five favourites tracks from 2014 that were played on the show. These votes have been counted and crunched and the resulting list will be played over two shows. This is the first one - tracks 50 down to number 25.

A word of warning - I consume two glasses of port throughout the podcast and there is some rambling as a result. Next time I'll stick to Christmas tea. Honest.
