Gareth Jones - January 2019
It's January, which means the January sales are on. So this month I've slashed the value of my show and I'm giving you 50% off. So instead of 2 hours, you get 1 hour instead!
But it's still a packed show, with my 'Festive 5' (5 songs from 2018 that didn't make the Festive 50). I've set specific criteria, picking 5 songs that are ONLY available on Bandcamp with a name your price option!
There's also a tribute to Pete Shelley with Buzzcocks cover versions by The Shakes and Nouvelle Vague. Plus new releases including French electro duo Grand Veymont, the return of 60's Psyche outfit The Chocolate Watch Band and two tracks from two new albums by the ever prolific They Might Be Giants.
So hurry, hurry! Don't miss this January sale edition of my Dandelion Radio show. Everything must go ... into your ears ...
