Hail. Well this looks like something John would definitely have put his thumbs up at - the chunk I listened in to had more turns than Hampton Court
Are the individual shows archived anywhere at the moment? Even if they're only held temporarily (as with the Beeb's player), it'd be a fantastic idea
Don't know if it's my set up or what, but WMP 11 keeps getting cut off from the stream...
Regardless, good work!
Admin reply: Thanks for the comments. Our licence prohibits us from making individual shows available for download/listen again - except as part of the overall schedule. Remember though - the programmes loop throughout the month. In June we have 23 hours of material so each show is on again the next day, 1 hour earlier. No idea why the stream was not running smoothly - but we rarely get reports of that so it suggests a localised problem.
Listened to Jeff's show last month and loved it....this month is as good too. He certainly has an ear for good music...he certainly knows his stuff!The tracks he plays are phenomenal.

I’ve listened to every minute of your output since I read the Guardian article in the Autumn and thanks to you I’ve heard great songs by Samantha Crain and the Rural Alberta Advantage and Lettie and Rob Sparx and Tonnage and lots of others that I would never have known about otherwise. When Peely passed away there were lots of messages on the BBC home page and the one that struck me was the one that said “there goes my musical past, present and future”. Thanks for keeping going the spirit of Peely now he's gone.
great prog i was a peelie fan in the 70's and 80,s i lost track for a while but am loving radio dandelion, my memories of peel were of him playing prince fari to bad vibes from heavy prog rockers, but it worked for me, i love the eclectic mix on dandelion, and particularly liked a serbian techno track last month but cannot identify it from the listings service, perhaps you can play it again

Admin reply: Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the Serian track - do you remember which DR DJ you were listening to at the time?
Having been a Peelite for many a year, this is a more tham adequate substitute for my craving. A little less of the impersoation twist maybe. Imitation can be the best form of appreciation, but like wit, there's a time and a place. More's to the point, keep up the good work, all of you, and most important of all... 'never read the writing on the wall'!

Just wanted to sign in and say how much I love this radio station. It's given me so many great acts to investigate further that I probably would never have heard.
I've been out of touch with music for too long and this is putting me right back into it.
Keep it up Dandelion
Admin reply: Thanks Dave. The tracklistings for the old shows are all on-line as well so you can wander through them to find even more.
