SnC 305 – Ten more to watch in 2012
The second half of our 20 to watch in 2012. Each of these artists have impressed me in 2011 and I think they are likely to attract significant attention in 2012. They certainly deserve it. There have been somne lovely moonsets this week and, when it isn’t pouring with rain, and some great coloured skies.…

SnC 304 – Ten to watch in 2012
Inspired by an idea from my fellow AMP members, I really wanted to put out a show of tracks from artists who I think are worth keeping an eye on in 2012. When I sat down to compile the show, I found that I had at least two shows worth of talent, so this week…

SnC 303 – A week to reset!
A week rather strongly influenced by a burmp to ze ‘ed on Sunday morning. I’ve been playing catch-up ever since which has left us with a rather shorter show than usual. The building project will be done in a couple of weelks or so and then things should get back to something like normal. I…

SnC 302 – LA to Bieszczady
In SnC this week. An update from the John Peel Centre appeal and the winner of the Adnams Artist of the Month for November. Ah, that would explain why I was in Southwold this morning – another perishing cold day but with intersting skies and a great time with Tyler at The Crown Hotel. …

SnC 301 – Weight of the World
Ah well. Some day are like that. A frantic 17 hour day due to external and family needs left me with little time and strength to filter down to a full complement of songs but what we do have are really interesting. Winter arrived here in Suffolk this week, leaves have left, leaving some magnificent…

AOTM November 2011 – Sydney Wayser
Multi-instrumentalist and stunning vocalist. Half-French and half-American, Sydney Wayser grew up in LA but spent a few months every year in Paris. She gleaned much of French culture from her songwriter father, leading her to musical influences that include Edith Piaf, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Jacques Brel, among many others. Now based in Brooklyn, New York,…

SnC300 – Keeping it Peel
John Peel was undoubtedly one of the most influential people in British music. To describe him as a DJ, radio presenter and journalist is really an understatement. The breadth of his musical taste and quietly stated way in which he implored us to really listen to what he played defined a musical culture which lives…

SnC 299 – Gambling Sperms
Life is still totally frantic and in some respects tragic but I’ll not dwell on that. The somewhat belated Adnams Artist of the Month is announced in this week’s show as part of a slightly different AOTM feature if you have a view, I’d be delighted to hear from you. I’ve rarely seen such limp…

SnC 298 – Late shift
A particularly late start to recording the show this week. Life really is getting to a crazy pitch with so many dear people around me in real need of time and effort – none of which I begrudge in the least. I’m just getting pretty worn down. Oh well, we’ll be using the five hour…

SnC 297 – Authentic voices
Music with a couple of distinctive local accents this week. I do like to hear the localness of artists shining through. Regardless of where they’re from. It seems to have been dark in eastern England for over a week now so no new picture this week. Instead, a polaroid from Long Island City, New York…

SnC 296 – Old friends and new gems
UPDATE 11/11/11 Missing audio file problem sorted. Thanks to the good folks at Libsyn for helping resolve that one. If you’ve not heard the whole of show 296. Give it a good listen now. There really is some cracking music onboard. Peter __ Still hanging on to the great vibe and even better music that…

AOTM October 2011 – Gadjo
From all corners of the world, the band’s members and musical styles tumbled into the streets of Barcelona in 2003 and have been together ever since writing their original blend of polyglot balkan-ska-swing music. Since then, Gadjo has produced three albums, attracted a huge international following and has toured Europe extensively playing in theatre, circus…
