Andrew Morrison - July 2025
Andy has two hours of tunes this month, including new music from Communions, Melys, The Divided Circle, Andy Bell, Lust For Youth & Croation Amor, Dot Allison, Sally Dige, and The Raveonettes, plus the brilliant recent single from the first album in 24 years by Pulp. There's also a new single hot off the press from Canada's Tired Cossack, who Andy was privileged to share a few beers with last month when they were in the UK.

Andy pays tribute to Nitzer Ebb frontman Douglas McCarthy who we lost in June, by playing a couple of classic tracks he featured on. You'll also hear a rare 2012 vinyl-only Andy's Old Chestnut from much-missed Norwegians Harrys Gym.

Gareth Jones - July 2025
Some might say that Gareth's July show is definitely, maybe, a brave decision. As the Gallaghers play live around the UK, Gareth will be marking the occasion with a selection of Oasis cover versions in the 1st hour. Performed in various genres, it's a wonder wall of sound, ranging from the electro-pop of Kero Kero Bonito to the ska sounds of The Bluebeaters and even a bluegrass cover by Danny Burns.
Then the 2nd hour's guest presenter is Stephen from New Jersey Indiepop band Lightheaded. He'll be taking part in 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' to coincide with the release of their new album 'Thinking, Dreaming, Scheming!' released by Skep Wax (UK) / Slumberland Records (US).
Plus Gareth pays tribute to the late Brian Wilson with a selection of Beach Boys songs covered by female artists, from Saint Etienne to Shonen Knife. God only knows what Brian would think of it!

Leo Gilbert - July 2025
Leo states loudly and proudly that this month's show is one of his very best, and certainly among his most varied, with well over half the artists being new to him.
He has music from Egypt in the shape of Basis Rahouma, Libya (Cheb Bakr), Sweden's Becky and the Birds, Divide and Dissolve from Australia, Lido Pimienta representing both Colombia and Canada, Ammar 808 from Tunisia, Falle Nioke from Guinea Conakry, Sorekara from Japan, and loads and loads more besides.
It's four hours of wonderfulness. Don't resist.

Mark Cunliffe - July 2025
Not one but TWO featured albums this month. Kinda inevitably for me, one is the Sleaford Mods live album and the other is the OSees influenced LP by CHIME OBLIVION, both albums are proper (to use a Jason Williamson expression!). There is a growing Dandelion DJ contingent from Bristol, and as a homage I open the show with Bristol based duo Getdown Services. I also have missives from Ayerdhal, SAULT, HEHFU!!!!!!, Eternal Moment and Nickynutz amongst many others. Have a good month!
