On my show this month:
Five hours of irresistible music from Leo this December, and not a single mention of Christmas!
Three outstanding albums – those by World's End Girlfriend , Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter and Øxn – have knocked Leo for six over the past few weeks, so he shares songs from these collections in this month's show, alongside excellent tunes from Water From Your Eyes , Maya Al Khaldi, Shackleton & Wacław Zimpel and We Are The Willows & Orchid Eaton.
He also has tracks from two compilation albums: My Greatest Revenge: Flamenco Recordings, 1904-1938 and Copasetic! The Mod Ska Sound along with a fabulous tune from the father of Libyan Reggae, Ibrahim Hesnawi.
And there is so much more besides! Dive in and enjoy the sound of December 2023.

Biography:
I am in many ways your typical John Peel fan. I grew up listening to his shows from the era of punk rock until his death, and, with increasing obsessiveness, compiled cassettes, mini discs and finally mp3 playlists of the best tunes. Music runs through my family’s veins, and in me this takes the form of a compulsive search for new sounds. As John Peel used to put it, what I really want to hear is something I haven’t heard before.
Envy fills me when I read what my Dandelion collaborators have achieved in promoting, making and playing music, but my life as a teacher for the past quarter of a century has squeezed out any time for, well, pretty much anything apart from listening to and appreciating what continues to be made musically across the world. At last, though, I have found the space to pursue what has long been an ambition and can attempt to meet the stellar broadcasting standards set by my volunteer colleagues by sharing my love of new music with Dandelion listeners. I really hope at least some of what you hear gets its hooks into you.
