March is my last Dandelion show for a couple of months before I take a break from the station to get married! I thought I'd bow out with a Brexit Special. There are Brexit themed tracks and song parodies, plus a Theresa May mix containing 8 songs about our beloved/beloathed prime minister. We also tackle racism with a track from the new album by Woog Riots . Of course we embrace all of Europe at Dandelion Radio, so I'll be playing you songs sung in Spanish from Abjects , Italian from Deidre & The Dark and Turkish from Fatos Balkir, plus new tracks from French electro-pop band Le SuperHomard and French surf guitar band Cannibal Mosquitos . Plus this month's 'Secrets Songs from the Sixties' are by two artists from Belgium/Brussels. Away from Europe, there's new tracks from Japan's Otoboke Beaver and Korea's Drinking Boys and Girls Choir . Besides Brexit Day, March 29th is also the UK cinema release date for the documentary film 'Being Frank - The Chris Sievey Story', and I'll be playing tracks by Frank Sidebottom and Chris Sievey from the soundtrack album released by Iain Lee's 7a Records label. So please remain listening to me for these two hours, don't leave! |

So I was passed the deadline and at the 11th hour of the deadline extension when I recorded this show! It hasn't impeded the quality of the music though. There is something new from The Soundcarriers and yet more brilliance from Throwing Snow . Melys has come out with a new tune for the first time in yonks and we're not disappointed. There are new acts Adam Absent and Tate & Silus who definitely adding to the party. There is a baile funk remix of a Kate Bush classic which it utter madness and EQ Why is on footwork fire. |

With 2019 building up a considerable head of steam music-wise, we return to a three hour show this month, packed with great new releases from around the world, including a featured compilation of Mexican bands from TBTCI, a couple of tracks from the latest collection. from France's With A Messy Head label and the first new album in over twenty years from Brazil's Ivan Conti . Also from France, there's a track from the new Moteor release, while Spain's Bojaman invites a load of mates around and offers up the results on his Bandcamp site - with thrilling results. We've also got a new release from Woog Riots, the first single from the new album by Threatmantics , an excellent new Blackest Ever Black release from Black Rain and an early contender for my album of the year courtesy of Mchy I Porosty . Among many other things, we welcome the return of the always-fascinating Cosey Fanni Tutti , throw in a track from that enormously successful Specials album and Peel Back... to three tracks featured in session on the John Peel show forty years, thirty years and twenty years ago this month. |
 Pete Jackson
There's a great big stack of 7" singles this month from the might Slovenly Records, each from a different part of the world - so expect filthy garage rock n roll from as far afield as Australia, Canada and Turkey (in fact, there's a total of three Turkish acts this month and each one sounding really different from the others). As always, there's new tunes from old favourites, including The Night Programme, Istanbul Hippodrome, Richard Quirk , Sir Robert Orange Peel and Warped Freqs, music from hard to pronounce acts (what happened, 2K4S x Endsomware, did you lean on the keyboard?) and an unfamiliar sound from an old familiar name coutesy of the great Death Is Not The End label. |

 The Beatbox Saboteurs Show
This month, once again, we travel the world to bring you music everywhere from Folkestone to Ethiopia. There's a slight subtext in the first part of the show, including two colourful tracks from the excellent Libertino Records. Never shy to twist our tongues, embracing our ever-improving language skills, you will hear us attempting to speak and translate both Welsh and then Ukrainian. To add to the international feel, we are also delighted to include a 'Postcard from Japan' with kiYOmi (from Astro-B ) and Lee (Thomas Imposter Records) playing a few songs, old and new, from the land of robots and ninjas. Lots to hear, two hours of just about holding it together. We hope you enjoy the show. |
 Thomas Blatchford
Hello there, it's March, big bits of Australia are burning, Britain is about to kick itself in the face again, the seas are simmering, and Thomas has thirty new and used tunes to - let's face it - arrogantly take up your time with. Album of the month goes to hard-to-google gothlord V with their first full-length for the Dero Arcade label, although Sports Bra were strong contenders too. Two teenage bands The Vovos and Milk Crate make an appearance in the show, sounding a lot more jaded than their elders Slush . There's a song for Europe by Pagan Wanderer Lu released long before Brexit was a twinkle in hamface's eye, unsquashed beef from Skepta , an ode to fanzines by Copy Scams , a roundabout tribute to Clacton's finest Sade , and a song by an unidentified artist. Some things aren't to be known, after all. Many thanks to Miko for the introduction, you're great. |
