Andrew Morrison - February 2025 After looking back at his favourite songs from 2024 in January, and prior to that picking three hours of lifetime favourites for his November 200th show and 50th birthday special, Andy rushes headlong into a two-hour February show for "The Big Catch-Up". There was a tonne of great music released as last year was drawing to a close, and much of it is here, along with some brand new 2025 tracks. Selections come from SDH, Lambrini Girls, Envy Of None, Alison Eales, Fake Empire, Honesty, R. Missing, Samuel Organ, Melys, Andy Bell, Aphex Twin, Deary and more. You'll also hear the title track from the excellent new fourth album by previous session guests The Pony Collaboration. | ||||

Gareth Jones - February 2025 Gareth's February show takes us back to the swingin' 60s with two cuts taken from a new compilation released by Sonnyboy66 Records of obscure garage-psyche tracks. Plus you'll hear some contemporary bands who sound like they're from the 60s, including The Sound Reasons and The Knight Shades. Then it's back to the future as we worry about the takeover of A.I. courtesy of the new single by MJ Hibbett. The 2nd hour sees the return of 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue', this time hosted by Andreas from Swedish Indiepop band Alpaca Sports to coincide with the release of their 3rd album 'Another Day' available now from Elefant Records. | ||||

Leo Gilbert - February 2025 Four thumping hours from Leo this February, and in honour of the month of romance he has studiously avoided any songs containing the word “love” in its title, though of course every single song is infused with love from Leo to each and every one of you, his adoring listeners. At possibly the highest tune-count yet, Leo has 50, yes 50 tracks from around the globe, with very nearly half of the artists never having featured in his shows previously. How about Soft Loft? Or My Jazzy Child? Maddie Jay, Sadie Siegel or Shop Regulars? And then there are the more familiar names, such as Max Cooper, Mogwai, IDLES and Big Blood. Too many to mention here, so why not listen in. It's got to be worth it! | ||||
