Jeff Grainger on FSK - November 2020
In his first Show for FSK, Dandelion Radio's Jeff Grainger presents a multi genre show of music from artists all over the world, featuring many fine acts he's discovered during his time as a Dandelion Radio DJ and lesser known bands from his hometown of Manchester.
Although 2020 has been pretty miserable, to say the least, it has produced some fantastic music, so Jeff will be taking this opportunity to play some of his personal highlights of the year.
Thanks for tuning in.
Leo Gilbert - November 2020
A particularly packed 240 minutes from Leo this month, with 48 tunes from around the globe and across the musical spectrum. Over half the tunes are from artists he has never played before, so there is a chance you might be yet to discover them, too.
How about these for a few names to conjure with? Rian Treanor, Luke Abbott, The Wytches, Gaby Moreno, Eartheater, Mary Lattimore, Sault, The Lemongelli and Divide and Dissolve.
Then there are the more established acts who melt Leo’s mind with every release: King Creosote, Black Wing, Hudson Mohawke, Oliver Coates, Bicep, IDLES, Girl Band, Surfbort and more.
Leo is also awfully Autechred up, tossing two tunes from their brand new album into the mix.
An unmissable mêlée? You bet!

Mark Cunliffe on FSK - November 2020
Following on from the first show submitted by DJ's stationed at the UK-based, John Peel-influenced, Dandelion Radio, Mark Cunliffe provides the second for November.
It is a show that is a journey through genres. You could go from the favela in Brazil with some baile funk to some Malian desert blues.
There might be reggae followed up with dark techno or minimal house to some grindcore. It's all mostly new or new to Mark at least, with a little indulgence with the odd nod to the past.

Mark Whitby - November 2020
Good to hear that Salem Trials and Deerhoof were busy making productive use of the time during lockdown, as their recent albums more than adequately testify. We've got something from each of them this month alongside a pile of other great new releases from the likes of Chloe Juliette Beswick, The Luxembourg Signal, Snakeskin Shoe Review, Mugstar and many more.
Our featured compilation this month is a cracking surf collection from Numero Group; we also feature tracks from other great compilations courtesy of the Wagam and Analog Africa labels,plus a bit of Western Noir from Alvie Self and a cracking new Owd Scrat release from the NWRA House Band. This being the month of Festive Fifty voting, our Peel Back... section features three glorious highlights from the chart of forty years ago.

Sean Hocking on FSK - November 2020
It's the first show on FSK from Dandelion Radio's "Ring of Fire" presented by Sean Hocking. Sean was an avid John Peel in the late 1970's through till the end and does his best to keep the John Peel aesthetic throughout the show, not too much talking, lots of different music and no fear of making mistakes!
The first Ring of Fire show for FSK will bring you our favourites from 2020, probably not all of them as I'd need around six hours to do that but as much as we can. When people look back at 2020 music they'll be amazed by the variety and the passion and I look forward to sharing some of that with you via Ring of Fire.
Thomas Blatchford - November 2020
It's November and therefore time to submit your vote for the Festive Fifty 2020, in a year which will surely be remembered first and foremost for its great music ...
Thomas has some songs for your voting consideration including recent singles by Narli, Nooky, Zig Zag, The Cool Greenhouse, RYL0 and more, plus some highly ineligible old tunes by The Exterminators, The Bunny Lee Allstars and Kid Carpet with a tribute to Van Halen (and Ivor Cutler).
Meanwhile, Deerhoof do a one-second cover of Gary Numan's "Cars" (sort of), Codex Machine provide a nod to Toots Hibbert left over from last month, Mad Professor celebrates 40 years in the dub biz, and…well, Thomas celebrates three years on Dandelion. Thank you if you've listened to any of it!
