| Andrew Morrison - December 2021 Having last month broadcast his first session for a number of years, Andy's two-hour December show features no less than two exclusive session guests, with three tracks from Bristol's The Divided Circle and a further three songs from Canada's Tired Cossack in the concluding second part of their session, which commenced in November. As usual, there's also loads of new music, much of which has a still and reflective, winter feel about it. Acts include Dave Gahan & Soulsavers, Low, Public Service Broadcasting, Penelope Isles, French For Rabbits, Seagoth, Keeley, Paul Draper, Laura Cantrell and ARXX. Andy has found another cracking Swedish band in Stockholm's Sjöblom, and features a track from his brilliant 'Demons' LP. Don't forget to listen to the results of the official Festive Fifty, in a co-hosted show counting down Dandelion Radio listeners' fifty favourite tracks from 2021, broadcasting every from Christmas Day until the end of January. | ||||
