Andrew Morrison - December 2022
For the first time since July, Andy's show for December is back to its typical duration of two hours just in time for Christmas, with a mostly moody selection of wintery tunes. He'll be paying tribute to Mimi Parker, who we tragically lost in November, by playing four of his favourite songs by Low. Andy also features new music from Telefís, Laura Cantrell, Arab Strap, Paragon Sea, Zouj, The Balloonist and Bonemachine. There are two radically different versions of Seagoth's latest single; a Kraftwerk cover by Boy Omega; an awesome slab of shoegaze from MOLLY; a brand new single from former session guest Tired Cossack; an Andy's Old Chestnut from 1997 by Mansun, and much more.

Also listen out for the results of the official 2022 Festive Fifty repeating every from Christmas Day until the end of January in a co-hosted show counting down Dandelion Radio listeners' favourite tracks of 2022.

Calum Carlyle - December 2022
As 2022 draws to a close we throw our hands in the air and ask where did another twelve months go?
As always the answer is with the fates, however you can while away yet another two hours by listening to some more offbeat tunes on Calum's show on Dandelion Radio.
As usual, it's a host of uncovered goodies from the music scene of today, peppered with some unusual non-hits of yesteryear, including new releases from The Karlos Kollective, Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, Alvvays, Nick Luddite, Sendelica, Stay and many many more, reissues in shiny packages from the likes of Mac DeMarco and Virgin Prunes, as well as stuff you won't hear anywhere else, like the track from Detroit's Unpopular Creeps, or from Philadelphia's Unpopular Creeps, or even from the misty murky nineties, with songs from Nilon Bombers and Schulte / Eriksson.
There's something for everyone, so get the kettle on and fire up your headphones.

David Smith - December 2022
We mourn the tragic losses of Mimi Parker from Low, Keith Levene of Public Image Ltd., and Dan McCafferty of Nazareth with a small tribute to each aforementioned band. I have a lot of new and almost new material for you this month, including great songs from Off Models, Kaye, Dartz, Life, Les Rencards, Arrêt, Fomies, and Lucrecia Dalt. We also have a new song from the upcoming album by Summer Flake. But wait! We have some prog-reggae from Ecuador, a Finnish ska cover of The Misfits, and an awesome song from The Godfather's mother!
Enjoy the show!
