'Broadcast One' - Dandelion Radio's 1st compilation album

A mammoth record of 20 shows spanning 45 hours for June - in celebration of our 20th birthday.
Simon joins in with his first show since 2009 and we have the first part of a 'documentary' looking back over our history.

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.

Powered by Audioscrobbler™Jack Hayter was part of Spongefinger who produced 2 albums between 96 and 99.

Hayter was also a guitarist/multi instrumental bloke in Hefner with Darren Hayman, Ant and John Morrison, although he's not on the very first album.

"Practical Wireless" is a solo effort produced by Darren Hayman with odd contributions from other Hefner members. He followed this in 2011 with "Sucky Tart" for the Audio Antihero label.

He also crops up playing mostly pedal steel guitar on records by The Bittersprings,Dollboy, Silver Ginger 5, Tram.
