The Official 2024 Festive Fifty - January 2025
A Christmas assortment of our DJs count down through the best 50 tracks from 2024 based on your votes - continuing the John Peel tradition.
You can hear the full results of this classic poll repeating from Christmas Day and into January, finishing off with Mark Whitby revealing this year's winner!
We repeat it to give everyone a chance to listen in - therefore many people will be listening long after others so please keep the results to yourself for a while.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Andrew Morrison - January 2025
As is Andy's regular New Year's tradition, his January show has a selection of his favourite tracks from the previous year. You'll hear 2024 gems from MGMT, Sjöblom, GLOK & Timothy Clerkin, Lambrini Girls, Alan Sparhawk, Epic45, Arab Strap, Deary, Ride, Kelly Lee Owens, Honesty, A Certain Ratio, and many more. It's not all repeat plays though - 10 of the 25 tracks in the two-hour show are ones that Andy hasn't previously played in his shows.

Andy also features in two co-hosted shows in this month's schedule: the official 2024 Festive Fifty listeners' poll results countdown; and January's '2024 Review' show, picking some more of his favourites from last year alongside his fellow DJs. See the schedule on the website for streaming broadcast times, or listen on demand at https://www.mixcloud.com/DandelionRadio/.

Mark Whitby - January 2025
A new year inevitably brings with it a whole bunch of interesting new releases and 2025 is no exception. We've got tracks from new albums by Mogwai, Lambrini Girls, Horsegirl and Sam Amidon, along with recent releases from the likes of Dreadzone. Neon Kittens and The Weak & The Strong, among others.
We've also got two featured compilations, one an era-spanning collection from the New Weird Australia project, plus another fascinating Cherry Red Box Set.
Naturally, the month of the Festive Fifty broadcast means our Peel Back... feature again has a FF theme to it and there are also retrospective highlights from new compilations of Gnonnas Pedro, Johnny Bond and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.

X-Ray Moon - January 2025
X-Ray Moon wishes everyone a happy, peaceful, healthy and surrealist 2025.
Moon hits the ground running for his first show of the year... if possibly running on his knees backwards. A tumultuously splendiferous blend of old and (mainly) new tracks are presented to us to ease us gently into the shock of the post holiday period.
He offers us a couple of Puddy tracks, one old one new; a new track from an album that Moony has just purchased by the Shop Regulars; Tommy And The Teleboys from Germany are on tour at the moment in Germany, and, Moon believes, should be seen by anyone who happens to be over in that part of the world.
Nicole Hale's beautiful music and voice eases us towards the latter part of the show along with the following track that is haunting and intriguing in equal measures, by Advance Base...
With lots of other surprises, X-Ray Moon wishes everyone all the happiest of Dandelions for 2025, and hopes everyone enjoys the show.
