Another eclectic mix tonight. Bit of Scandi stuff, tracks from Lippy Kid and Radio Europa off a compilation raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society – a cause close to my heart – an utter banger from Container, big late-1990s vibes from Jetta and Four Tet, 14 minutes of ambient techno from Sound Effects Of Death And Horror and Beefheart-esque goodness from The GR Record Head. Dive in, have fun.

The seventh annual christmas special. No Slade, no Wizzard, definitely no Wham. Some of these are box fresh, some stretch back a year or two and we end in the traditional manner with the only song I’ve ever played more than twice on air. It’s simply not christmas without it.
Enjoy, have a peaceful and restful holiday and we’ll be back in the new year. Thanks for listening, as always.
