Resonance FM 29/10/19 (Le Guess Who? III - DNA? AND?)

Tonight was part three of four of Dig That Treasure's Le Guess Who festival preview. For this episode I had the wonderful privilege of collaborating with Harald of DNA? AND?, a Norwegian improv project consisting of children with Down's Syndrome and professional musicians. Harald selected and introduced a few of the group's tracks, discussing the group's origins as a workshop series and the musicality of the group's children. Listen below.

Resonance FM 25/10/19 (Daniel Johnston Tribute)

As well as the regular half-hour show, this week I presented a special hour-long tribute to the late Daniel Johnston. Over the course of the hour I hosted live performances from the always-stunning Martha Skye Murphy (with guest Felix Stephens on cello), the anarchic Brad (Baby Blue Aura) and George (Mice On Mars), and record-holding three-time guest Kiran Leonard. The performances were brilliant and each highlighted a different side of Johnston's music - we had loud and quiet, tender and chaotic, sad and funny... A huge thanks to all the guests for making it a special evening. Check the show out below!
