Leo Gilbert

On my show this month:
Four hours of the freshest, most spring-like tunes from Leo this April, as he welcomes in the season of growth and renewal with songs from around the globe.
Big hitters are definitely there, represented by names such as The Smile, Jeffrey Lewis, Richard Dawson and Billy Nomates, all displaying their brand-new wares, but once again Leo’s lucky listeners will be struck by how many bands he features who they might not have come across before.
Heard of these? Arc of an Eye, Melondruie, Nido, Mücha, teethin and Cross Record.
And that’s not even the half of it. Tune in and open your ears to the sounds of life bursting abundantly all around.

On the show NEXT month:
“Waste of Time, Baby,” say MENGZHUMENG, and Renny Conti agrees, saying, “I Find It Hard”. But Russell Haswell responds smartly with “Deep Time”, and Damon Locks chips in, chorusing, “Isn’t it Beautiful?” It’s a Field of Dreams (Low Roar) on Leo’s four-hour merry-month-of-May bonanza, though Tungg Didn’t Know Why, and Destroyer got entirely carried away, Hydroplaning Off the Edge of the World. Sorry boarded their Jetplane, while Mount Kimbie cause a Shipwreck, and SOM plead, “Don’t Look Back”. Life’s rich tapestry and more on Leo’s show this month.

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.
