Andrew Morrison - December 2025
Andy's been saving up several wintery, seasonal and still sounding tracks for some time in readiness for this two-hour December show. There are three Shoegaze Christmas covers by MOLLY, Deary, and Younghusband from last year's superb 4 CD Sonic Cathedral'Celebrate Yourself!' compilation - all from disc four, which is playfully titled 'Celebrate Your Elf!'.

As we prepare for the results of this year's official Festive Fifty listeners' poll results (broadcasting from Christmas Day until the end of January), Andy helps keep you warmed up by playing you the three tunes he voted for back in BBC Radio 1's 2004 Festive Fifty. There's a 1994 Andy's Old Chestnut from Microglobe, plus new music from The Twilight Sad (featuring Robert Smith of The Cure), Ben Holton (of Epic45), TEED, Boxwell, His Electro Blue Voice, Blood Orange, Kelly Lee Owens and West Wickhams.

Brevi Linens - December 2025
It was the first night in November. I remember being indifferent about heading out to a gig in Bristol after being let down by some recent live shows (not the acts specifically but the PA systems being turned down – this is a thing now). I felt old and defeated by the persistent commercial spray that sterilises our precious culture.
However, it was Prolapse that were to perform on this night, and they were there to do what so many good bands have done in the past; smash that feeling of despair out of us in the face of bad times. There was a firing of atoms, a bonding of elements and my energy and mettle was restored!
It was that and a chance meeting with Rocker of Dandelion Radio there that sewed the seed of taking a role in sharing the valuable energy of music. I got to work and, thanks to the Dandelion team, here is my demo / debut show to introduce myself. I sincerely hope you get something good out of it!

David Smith - December 2025
Greetings!
Don't let the end of the year distract you from all of the great new releases still coming out. As proof, I have great new stuff from Citric Dummies, BB Bomb, Optic Sink, Oruã, Chini.png, Neon Kittens, Gilles Laval, Wiccans, Le Grand Couturier, Haram, The Big Idea, Morwan, Sunflowers, Maraudeur, Piso Franco, Sword II, Sunset Images, and Jim Jarmusch with Anika. I also have a new song by Flux that distinctly references Minor Threat, so be sure to listen to the very end of the show for the surprise connection!
Oh wait, also a new song from an upcoming album by Mandy, Indiana!
I try to keep my in-show talking to a minimum to make more room for music, but I do have more to discuss about what I play, so check out my companion show notes over at http://davidondandelion.blogspot.com.
Enjoy the show!

Gareth Jones - December 2025
Gareth will be delivering two shows in December to fill your stockings. A regular show and a 2 hour Christmas show for FSK on December 19th.
For this regular show there's a sequence of sporting songs, with a football anthem from Woog Riots, a rugby song that isn't filthy from The Just Joans and a hockey instrumental from The Surfrajettes.
This month's guest presenters are London DIY Indie-Punk-Pop band Breakup Haircut who will be hosting 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' to coincide with the release of their new album 'No Worries If Not!' available now from INH Records.
Plus you'll hear some surprising cover versions, including a folk version of 'She Bangs The Drums' to mark the passing of Mani.

Leo Gilbert - December 2025
Leo's December show assembles an impeccably disobedient assortment of tracks, curated with the guiding principle: why be coherent when you can be interesting?
We begin with Tibshelf's "We Were Having Fun", a title that feels reassuringly optimistic before Sir Robert Orange Peel and Prolapse quickly remind us that fun is often just dread wearing a novelty hat.
Rian Treanor & Cara Tolmie's "Endless Not" continues the theme of firm ambiguity, while TURNSPIT's "Cinderella Girl" politely suggests that fairytales have finally given up trying.
Sweeping Promises bring some much-needed structural integrity, which Dylan Henner immediately dissolves into wistful daydream. Hand To Earth offer a moment of meditative calm—don't get used to it—before HAAi, Jon Hopkins and company catapult us upwards with "Satellite". Lana Del Rabies, Voka Gentle and Sorry contribute variations on the theme of "things aren't fine, but at least the soundtrack slaps." Lisa O'Neill shows up with a weather report that is frankly rude. Blawan, Sleaford Mods and Alpha Maid blast through the mid-section like a succession of alarms, while Soft Cell bring melodrama, naturally. From there: mirages, remixes, sea studies, cruise ships, golden hours, industrial exorcisms, butterfly-themed techno, and a final dissolve into People Like Us, who tuck the whole show into bed with a lullaby that may or may not be mocking us.
Strap in — it only sounds accidental.
