Dandelion Radio 20th Anniversary Show - June 2026
Dandelion Radio marks the 20th anniversary of our first ever streamed shows on 21st June. That's 20 years of being a self-funded, fully-licenced, independent Internet station run by volunteers, and inspired by the late BBC broadcaster John Peel - quite an achievement! In this two-hour co-hosted show, Andrew Morrison, Brevi Lines, Mark Cunliffe, David Smith, Rocker and One Big House take you through their favourite tunes from the last two decades, including Kode9, Working Men's Club, Heathers, Burial, Cyclic Freeload Unit, Skream, Sleaford Mods, Fuzzyhead, The Uplifting Bell Ends, Aquaserge, Autons and loads more. There's also an exclusive new session track from Tired Cossack (two other tracks from the same session can be heard in Andy Morrison's other two June shows).

Also listen out for our very first Dandelion Radio documentary elsewhere in June's schedule, '20 Years Of New Music - The Dandelion Radio Story (Part 1)', in which One Big House interviews a small panel of longer-standing and founding members and presenters about the station's beginnings and history. Both of these shows will also feature selections of the wonderful listener feedback we've had from our Dandelion Radio Google Form anniversary survey and WhatsApp voice notes! Many of our DJs also have special shows of their own in this month's schedule, playing more of their highlights since we started broadcasting!

20 Years Of New Music ~ The Dandelion Radio Story (Part 1) - June 2026
Dandelion Radio's first ever documentary! Ever wondered how our station got going? Well, this is the show that will help you! One Big House in conversation with Paul Webster (the Station Controller), Andrew Morrison, Gareth Jones, Mark Cunliffe and Rocker. He dared to ask some questions about the start of Dandelion Radio and the set-up of the station, as well as their memories of their own first shows. Unusually for Dandelion Radio, it's an hour of chat, but we do include some notable tracks by Pete Drake, The Dust Collectors and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.

It's a story with plenty of pubs, forgotten gigs and technical wizardry. And if you recently sent in some feedback, a voice note or an offensive language warning, you may be part of this show too! This one-hour special is part one of two documentaries marking the Dandelion Radio 20th year celebrations. Part two will feature in our July schedule. Also listen out for the two-hour, co-hosted 'Dandelion Radio 20th Anniversary Show' elsewhere in this month's set of shows, featuring six of our DJs choosing their favourite tunes from the last two decades! Many of our DJs also have special shows of their own in this month's schedule, playing more of their highlights since we started broadcasting!

Andy's one-hour regular June features a Dandelion Radio 20th birthday exclusive session track from Tired Cossack. There's new and recent tunes from The Twilight Sad, The Metatrons, Sister Ray Davies, Deary, Pigeon, Basht., Winter Gardens, Broken Social Scene and more. You'll hear the brand new single from Arab Strap, plus an Andy's Old Chestnut that's one of the earliest acid house tracks to break the UK singles chart.

Andy appears in three (and a bit) other shows in June: 'Andy's 20th Anniversary Special', playing at least one session track or tune from each of the years we've been online (including a second Tired Cossack session track); the co-hosted 'Dandelion Radio 20th Anniversary Show' (featuring a third Tired Cossack session track); plus our first documentary, '20 Years Of New Music - The Dandelion Radio Story'. Andy also appears in Johnny Row's show, answering the question 'what one song do you think John Peel would have loved during the past 20 years?'.

Brevi’s invited the 'Godfather of Punk', Terri Hooley on for a chat this month, the man who inspired many to just get on with it and make their own records.
There's some spanking new tracks from The Yummy Fur, Bathing Suits and Lee "Scratch" Perry & Mouse On Mars as well as a great new discovery: London's MPTL Microplastics.
It’s Dandelion Radio’s 20th Birthday so Brev'll be digging up some favourite tracks over that period to celebrate the love of creativity, underground music, independent radio and the pursuit of the unknown. It may or may not be a coincidence that the solstice happens on the very same day as Dandelion Radio was born.

David Smith - June 2026
Greetings!
There are a lot of great anniversary shows this month to celebrate 20 years of Dandelion Radio, and yet great new music continues unabated. This month I have new stuff from Gut Model, A Place To Bury Strangers, Lots Of Hands, Nightwatchers, Mock Execution, Glad Sisifus, Conny Frischauf, Medussa, Noxeema, Spont Ar Stad, Draamakuu, The Response, King Automatic, Les Potagers Natures, Komarov Magnificent Backflip, Yleiset Syyt, and more. I also have a new song from Cocanha, which may be the first Occitan language song I've played, plus an interesting guitar dirge from Greek Orthodox priest Fr. Dionysios Tabakis.
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!

Emma Reed - June 2026
This month I am throwing a spotlight on Leigh Folk Festival which takes place from the 26th-28th June near my hometown, highlighting some of my recommendations including Georgia Shackleton, Diana Collier, Masal, Hedgeriders and The Gentle Good. I also have some tasty new releases including London punks Joe Plastic and Lincoln legend Tapenoise, and an incendiary opener from French free jazz flute rockers Nout ahead of their UK tour dates.

Gareth Jones - June 2026
Gareth's June show celebrates 20 years of Dandelion Radio with a nostalgic look-back on the Festive 50 since 2006. But rather than reminiscing about the artists you most voted for, Gareth will be saluting the underdogs, with a selection of songs which only reached no.50! From the almost forgotten Uke Stanza to the still very active The Lovely Eggs, you can relive some F50 classics which criminally never reached higher than 50th position. All this plus a selection of new releases (including Welsh wonder women Helen Love and Panic Shack), plus this month's edition of 'Secrets Songs from the Sixties' takes two cuts from a new compilation released by Sunnyboy66 Records called 'Samurai Fuzz: Raw Beat, Wild Riffs & Psychedelic Sparks From The Japanese 60s'.

Jeff Grainger - June 2026
Hello! Back again, for my first outing for 2026 and showing off my new microphone (such a pity I forgot to speak in to it!). Regardless, heading its way there's this two hour stonker (auto correct says stinker hmm... you decide).
So! We have 6 songs all exclusively recorded by the fabulous Sugar Crease. New releases galore by the likes of Jess Sah Bi, Brown Wimpenny, Yammerer, Hank Bee, Guests, Tai Haf Heb Drigolyn, and Lily Rae Grant. Also featured is the new release by Celestial Power and not Dead Sea Apes (oops!).
As I'm sure you’re all very well aware Dandelion has reached a very special landmark. So with a rather modest homage to this fabulous institution. I'm playing one of my favourite artists that I've discovered during my time at Dandelion Radio ... Alisia Casper.
Happy Birthday Dandelion Radio here's to the next 20 years.

Johny's 20th Anniversary Festive 50 Number Ones - June 2026
I am certain everyone would have noticed that Dandelion Radio is turning 20 right? Out of the teenage years and maturing into manhood like a fine wine.

On my 20th Anniversary special show I look back at every Festive 50 number one since our inception and ask current and former presenters to pick one song they would play for John if he was to return today and ask what he was missing out on.

Leo Gilbert - June 2026
Leo's June show is like a bootleg transmission intercepted at 2:13am: a tangle of mangled pop mutations, dead radio frequencies, phantom circuitry and melodies that feel like they crawled out of dreams you can't quite remember.

He kicks off with Deerhoof twisting reality sideways before The Leaf Library opens the door to dim corridors and paper-dust atmospheres. ps goner drifts in with late-night confession booth energy while Royal Commission rummages through the wreckage of systems already beginning to fail. Meitei, Radio Hito and Pharoah Chromium drag us through rituals, static and strange geographies.

Elsewhere, ~Nois fractures the ending before The Femcels perform some beautifully unhinged pop surgery. Boards of Canada tune into ghost frequencies and Max Cooper maps the machinery of obsession while Powell, Pye Corner Audio & Andy Bell and Serokolo 7 push deeper into the circuitry.

Then the whole thing catches fire: Sister Irene O'Connor, Russell Haswell, Charif Megarbane & Ali, moments of funk, future shock and sudden beauty. By the time Dreamwave, Baligh Hamdi, Iivana Mišukka & Arja Kastinen and Look. Up. arrive, you're already too far in to turn back.

Expect left turns. False endings. Sudden drops. Keep the dial locked. Weird lives here.

Mark Cunliffe - June 2026
Dandelion Radio is 20 this month! I'm not too sure when they all got together to broadcast the first shows on June 21st 2006 they would still think it was motoring along in 20 years. It's a great achievement for all those involved at the inception, some of whom are still involved, and to all who have come since. It have been a pleasure to be involved, myself, for the majority of the time since I joined on December 2007, a pleasure to contribute in my own small way.

This month there is more from the brilliant album by Carsie Blanton & The Burning Hell. There's some desert blues from both Tinariwen and Tamikrest and NOT_MDK is back with something excellent. I have two featured albums, one from Freschard and Stanley Brinks and the other from Baba Sissoko & Mediterranean Blues.

Lets celebrate!

Mark Cunliffe's Look Back Sessions Show - June 2026
I thought about what I could do to mark 20 years of Dandelion Radio and the thing I got most animated about was to go back over my sessions from back in the day and pick my favourite ones. For practical reasons it was difficult to pick out electronic producers as they all submitted longer mixes, no individual tracks to play. So this is all bands and solo artists either recorded by them, by me in rehearsal rooms, by me in my lounge, by me in their lounge, by me live or through the mixing desk or by them live. All sorts of ways.
I'm really proud of this collection of tracks and I really hope you enjoy them, they stretch back many years so might well be new to a lot of you. I've not really had much time to do this sort of thing for a few years but maybe it is something I can get back to doing one day. I've really enjoyed putting this together. Some of the artists featured are Bearsuit, Magoo, Sleaford Mods, Haiku Salut, Steven Adams, Chris T-T and quite a number of artists local to me.

Mark Whitby - June 2026
The questions have been circulating for years now. Whatever happened to Gusto Extermination Fluid, or Schuman The Human, or Retrigger or 2 Hot 2 Sweat? And while we can't provide all the answers in this show, we can remind ourselves of how such bands graced my Dandelion Radio show in the early years as we celebrate twenty years on the air.

It's not just about artists from those early days, of course. We feature tracks from many of the session guests we've featured over the years, including Dementio13, The Sinatra Test, Jack Hayter and Diane Marie Kloba. We've also got the first track I ever played on Dandelion Radio, something from the best band I heard during the Dandelion years (and, indeed, this millennium), the track I received most feedback about and the one that still manages to bring me to tears, or at least close to them.

There's also a Peel Back...feature which looks back to October 2009 when we invited a whole bunch of Peel legends to record tracks for the show and they more than delivered, as you would expect.

One Big House - June 2026
Not only has Dandelion Radio been broadcasting for twenty years but the One Big House show is a year old as well! So, birthday presents and gifts for everyone ... well certainly this three hour show hands out some party treats as we play some tracks from the Dandelion Radio archive as part of this shows look at the last twenty years. But for once, going to keep those tracks as a surprise.
Amongst the overcooked pastries and curled up sandwiches there's a delightful LP of the month from Girls Chat Room and we also highlight the charity LP from the wonderful Friendly Recordings.
Alongside the pile of expensive presents there's a far more worthy set of new album tracks from slippers, Polhawan, 1000 Rabbits, Bathing Suits and Wax Head, we also look ahead to the next few months with tracks from future releases by Sans Froid, Him & Earl, MadMadMad and the wonderful Mouth Ulcers.
Get yourself some more birthday cake, a drink of your choice and enjoy!

Rocker - June 2026
Two hours from Rocker this month, featuring an exclusive session from Sweetpool, plus new tracks from The Reds, Pinks and Purples; Joseph Tawadros; Love, Burns; Touch Girl Apple Blossom; The Early Years; The Bevis Frond; Quincey May Brown; Bramwell; West Country Tippers; Io; The Just Joans; and The Ex.
There's electronica from Nicky Elisabeth; and Sezer Uysal remixed by James Harcourt, while Invisible System bring the dub.
Paul Rooney reworks a 1998 track inspired by a photographic negative found in a gutter in Rome, while Wild Billy Childish & The North Kent Folkways Revival give us their version of a familiar traditional North American folk song.
This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a 1949 French recording, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record is a cover of a Northern Soul classic from Snuff offshoot Billy And His Imaginary Wigan Mates.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: Art Frahm was an American painter from the mid-20th century whose specialism was the portrayal of pin-up girls let down by their knicker elastic.

Sean Hocking - June 2026
Thanks for joining us in the month that Dandelion celebrates its 20th birthday.

I've included 3 sort of unknown tracks that Peel played whilst I listened to the radio under my duvet and also a selection of tracks that I chose off the top of my head as being tunes I just couldn't wait to share with Dandelion listeners when released. A couple of these went on to be major major "hits", it isn't hard to guess which ones! But most still languish in obscurity and sound as good to me today as when first released so I thought I'd just remind you how great they are.

Also plenty of new tunes from the likes of 2m8o, Cherry Cheeks, Idol Ko Si, Chloé Jara-Buto, Brendan Wells, Mattias De Craene & Black Koyo and Hedge Burners amongst others.

The new Tricky tune is fantastic, I hope the whole album is as good. Dwyer is back with a new outfit called Heathen Axe, very noisy!

I hope you enjoy not only our 20th anniversary shows but also the great new DJ's that we've welcomed to the fold in 2026

We also have a hard to find B-side and a Cassette-only release from 70 and 45 years ago respectively.

Happy June to you and happy 20th anniversary to Dandelion, to celebrate such a momentous landmark this month's Thomas show will mostly be new music as usual, with a few golden toe-tappers from the last two decades thrown in by the likes of The Fall, Busdriver, Neon Kittens and The Prize.
One artist is entirely redacted and another admits to getting the ol' five finger discount at their local megacorp supermarket. Gichard bring on Rear Window vibes (I've never seen it) and King Automatic invokes the spirit of The Sonics and Prince Buster to reimagine pop history. Here's to another twenty!

Punk Etcetera - June 2026
This year is the 50th anniversary of the release of what is known (by many) as the first ever Punk single: 'New Rose' by The Damned (released on 22nd October 1976 on Stiff Records).
When considering punk there is so much that is excellent that if you cut the programme too short you risk leaving out loads of great stuff... In this programme X-Ray Moon covers not only the obvious groups that should be in any programme on Punk, such as The Clash and Stiff Little Fingers, but also some of the less well known groups from approximately the same period of time: Icons of Filth, Bérurier Noir, and, Third World War for instance... Hence, this is P-P-P-Punk...
Sections in the programme - non-linear and not necessarily well-defined - include French Punk, American pre-76 Punk, and Precursors to Punk. X-Ray Moon reminds us that this programme is not a completest transmission, and is - rightly or wrongly - more or less the way he see things.
This is 'PUNK ETCETERA: 50th Anniversary of Punk'.
