Let’s forget the grind of politics, economics and whatever is dragging us down. Bring in the musicians and let’s chill out on this perfect summer’s day.

For your delight Undaunted has trawled his record collection and presents this eclectic mix of tunes to sip wine, demolish ice cream cones, and generally relax to.

Let’s start with a bit of Sing-along Sound of Music. Or not. It does come from the musical but John Coltranes’s version of My Favourite Things just takes it into the stratosphere.

Let’s keep it mellow and go straight into Summertime. It was a tough call between Janice Joplin and Billie Holiday but let’s stick with Billie.

Still feeling chilled? Let Ol' Blue Eyes and the summer wind blow your cares away.

I think it’s time to get funky. One name. Curtis Mayfield. Move on up there…

We’re Irish so sometimes there is no sunshine, but I can live with it if a very young and jaw droppingly soulful Michael Jackson was singing.

I hear California calling so let’s start by sitting by the dock of the bay.

Ah feck, I’m California Dreamin'.

Time to get a bit high brow….. Yes it’s that ad from British Airways from the 1990s!

And to end?  There is only one choice really. Here comes the sun. Just to be different let’s try the Nina Simone version.
