Dandelion Radio

Gareth Jones
We've reached September and so the Autumn begins (or for our American listeners, it's The Fall ... something that always confused me when I was younger, as I kept thinking Americans were referring to Mark E. Smith). So put on your best cardigan and prepare to keep warm with another two hours of new music and some old favourites.
In the first hour I'll be paying tribute to the late great Barry Chuckle with a startling rap collaboration between Tinchy Stryder & The Chuckle Brothers

. Plus we get political with Trump-related songs from Lach

and Captain SKA

.
In the second hour I'll be celebrating 30 years of the Damaged Goods label with newbies like Thee Dagger Debs

and classics from Johnny Moped

and Oizone

plus specially recorded messages from Helen Love

and Cyanide Pills

.
This month also sees a random selection of cover versions, ranging from a surf guitar rendition of Britney's 'Toxic' from The Surfrajettes

to actor, comedian and musician Matt Berry

covering the TV theme tune of 'Rainbow'!
All this plus the usual obscurities from the Sixties and soundtracks and new releases ranging from the punk-rock return of Art Brut
