Here is what is currently playing on Dandelion Radio

Click here to visit Andrew Morrison's pageAndy's 20th Anniversary Special
In this two-hour special, Andy plays at least one session track or favourite tune from each of the 20 years Dandelion Radio has been broadcasting. The songs appear in chronological order starting from 2006, and finishing in 2026 with the second exclusive session track this month from Tired Cossack. You'll hear Swathes, West Wickhams, The Divided Circle, Skuldpadda, Norma, Paul Draper, Communions, Willis Earl Beal, Atomizer, Before You Die..., The Orch, Cygnus X-1, Martin Carr (of The Boo Radleys), Alex Canasta, Epic45 and loads more.

Andy appears in three (and a bit) other shows in June: his one-hour regular show (with the first Tired Cossack session track), the co-hosted 'Dandelion Radio 20th Anniversary Show' (featuring a third Tired Cossack session track); plus our first documentary, '20 Years Of New Music - The Dandelion Radio Story'. Andy also appears in Johnny Row's show, answering the question 'what one song do you think John Peel would have loved during the past 20 years?'.

The Orch
Image from Discogs
Powered by Audioscrobbler™The Orch. are Michael Conroy (lyrics and vocals), Phil Hayes (guitars, visuals and production) and Damian Ashcroft (keyboards, synths and production).

They played live together around Manchester, UK a lot in the 90's, earning regular regional radio play, pockets of critical acclaim and a release on Tony Wilson's Factory Too (fac 2.02). Having gone their separate ways for over a decade (in which period Conroy released two albums 'Cheap Shots and 'Royal Shit' under the moniker 'superqueens' with Salford electronica/beats composer Bruce Magill), they decided to start recording again, mixing the old (unreleased material) with the new. The result is 'Small Times' (released on Skinny Dogs Records in December 2010) - nine tracks of spoken word and electronica, atmospherics and guitars.
