There's another brand new song from Arab Strap, plus seasonally appropriate tunes from Mark Peters, The Raveonettes and Curxes.

Also remember to stream into the official 2020 Festive Fifty countdown show, playing Dandelion Radio listeners' fifty favourite tracks from the last year, broadcasting every from Christmas Day until the end of January. | ||||

Gareth Jones - December 2020 Not many people will receive a Christmas bonus this year, but Gareth brings you a non-monetary Christmas bonus in the shape of TWO Dandelion shows in December! Firstly, Gareth's regular show on the Dandelion streaming schedule brings you two hours of new releases. From Cardiff, Wales, we say hylo to Quiet Marauder and HMS Morris while from France we say bonjour to Wendy Martinez and Laure Briard. Plus there's a one-off edition of 'Secret Songs from the Seventies' (replacing the usual Sixties feature) with three kitsch cuts from the recent 3-CD set 'Bubblerock Is Here To Stay! - The British Pop Explosion 1970-73' on the Grapefruit label (via Cherry Red). The 2nd hour brings a suite of 4 instrumentals, including a track from the latest EP by I Am a Rocketship, plus there's an excerpt from an interview Gareth did with his special Christmas guest; David Gedge of The Wedding Present and two tracks from their new James Bond covers charity album; 'Not From Where I'm Standing'. To hear the full length interview you'll need to head to Mixcloud for Gareth's other December show - his annual Christmas Special. Featuring a bulging sack of alternative Christmas records and the full-length David Gedge interview, the Christmas show appears exclusively on Mixcloud. | ||||

Jeff and Alfie on FSK - December 2020 Dandelion Radio's Jeff Grainger presents a very "un Christmas" two hour show for his second broadcast on FSK. We are certain to hear music from all over the world, a vast array of musical genres and as usual his show promises to be as uncompromising as possible. Taking the chance, perhaps, to reflect on the musical highlights of 2020 and the opportunity to dedicate time to what sonic delights 2021 will bring. As always thanks for tuning in. | ||||

Leo Gilbert - December 2020 An entirely Christmas-free four hours from Leo this December. Not because he is any kind of Christmas-denier; simply because there are too many tunes that force their way onto the show's playlist because they are so dashed good, and not because they happen to have the word "Christmas" in their title. Lots of new artists (at least to Leo). Anyone heard of Rozzma, Jerome, Adulkt Life, Lomelda or Cindy Lee? If not, listen in and so glad will you be that you now have. Names featuring this month that might be more familiar to regular listeners include Autechre, Sarah Mary Chadwick, Sleaford Mods, Daniel Knox, Oneontrix Point Never (serious contender for album of the year), Pye Corner Audio, Girl Band and oh so many more. If you fancy a break from the endless Santa-themed festivities this year, what better place to visit than Leo's dazzling December Dandelion extravaganza? | ||||

Mark Cunliffe - December 2020 I actually can't quite believe it is December. This year has been a pretty unremittingly terrible. Thank goodness the music has still been fab to help to keep us getting through. For this month Isatta Sheriff has a new one out and the brilliant Dry Cleaning are back with a bang. There is something off a new 7" from Sniffany & The Nits and Commodo come at us with some dubstep. Sleaford Mods are back with a new 7" and there is more funkiness from The Mighty Mocambos. Songhoy Blues have a new one out and Roska's aka of Bakongo has an EP out which I'm playing a track off. It's a thoroughly packed show if you like the sound of it. | ||||

Mark Cunliffe on FSK - December 2020 Well, we hope upon hope for gigs to start returning to our venues that are surviving the pandemic, and gigs in much greater numbers over the course of 2021. Not knowing what the landscape will be is very strange and not knowing what we will be able to get back to doing in 2021 is kinda weird really isn't it? I have been massively impressed at the quality of music in 2020 in the face of all the adversity. Lets see what 2021 can bring, hopefully with you in my company for some of it at least. | ||||

Mark Whitby - December 2020 We see off 2020 with a celebration of the one thing (aside, of course, from the removal of Trump) that made the year bearable: a whole load of great music. A session from Digital Resistance offers a mouth-watering taster ahead of their much-anticipated debut album, hopefully an indication that Wales will continue to be an extraordinarily rich part of the world for great new tunes. Its current status as a musical powerhouse is certainly in evidence this month as we feature something from the new Helen Love and She's Got Spies and a new single from HMS Morris. We also feature new releases from the likes of Yip Man, Nero Kane and Buildings In Motion. While this month's Peel Back... feature casts a retrospective eye over the Festive Fifty of 1990. | ||||

Mark Whitby on FSK - December 2020 In his second show, Dandelion Radio's Mark Whitby presents some of his favourite music to emerge towards the end of 2020, including great new music from some of his favourite labels of the year and a general focus on the interesting, the unfairly overlooked and sometimes the downright odd. | ||||
Pete Jackson - December 2020 Two hours full of festive cheer this month, beginning with a brand new session from our old pals Warped Freqs - expect lots of noisy psych-dub majesty to get the party started. We'll follow up with some new tunes from old favourites like Fuzz, Mogwai, Here Lies Man and Mungo's Hi Fi, and first time appearances from Heather Trost, Dog Unit, Trees Speak, Smarts and Mumbles. Chuck in some ace reissues from Wayne County and Portuguese garage-surfers Os Tártaros and almost no reference to Christmas or the pandemic and that'll take care of all your winter treat needs, I reckon. | ||||

Rocker - December 2020 Rocker's final show of 2020 is a three hour belter, and includes new music from Milky Wimpshake; Sir Robert Orange Peel; Dummy; The Total Rejection; Randolph's Leap; McCookerybook & Rotifer; All Ashore!; Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio; Sugar Rush!; Arrest! Charlie Tipper; The Drain On The Balcony; The Bongolian; The Flatmates; Muddy Summers & The Dirty Field Whores; Bad Moves; The William Loveday Intention and Northern Portrait. There's electronica from Carsten Halm; Sycum; Aiwaska and Anthony Yarranton. Gaudi covers Lee Scratch Perrry on the Theremin, while The Galileo 7 take on a classic by X-ray Spex. Craft-D pens a heartfelt letter of thanks from Bristol to Corbyn, while Loud Apartment give an NYC view of how the incompetence and negligence of the Trump years have led to the dismantling of the support networks which should be supporting citizens and indeed musicians during a pandemic. This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a century-old Christmas record sung in German, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record is the 1965 release from the sadly recently deceased Len Barry which opens the show. As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: The Galileo 7 are named after a classic 1967 episode of Star Trek. | ||||

Sean Hocking - December 2020 It's the final show of the year and no looking back for us here at Ring of Fire, it's always ever forward into the uncharted territories of new and exciting music from around the world. OK that's a bit of lie as we kick off the show with Australia's The Chats singing a song of praise to AC/DC the "second best band in the world". We are excited though to bring you newbies including the Isle of Wight's Fat Earthers, Brisbane based Stress of Leisure, Hinako Omori from Japan, UK based Dead Sheeran who usually heads up metal bands as his day job but by night has a far more interesting Sleaford Mods approach to the world, also Filmaker out of Colombia and our favourite new Swedish band Kool & the Gangbangers. Perennial Ring of Fire favourites Sir Robert Orange Peel, Wood Riots, David Nance, Salem Trials and others feature with brand new tunes. Yes and because Christmas is just around the corner a little bit of righteous nostalgia from Neil Young, Woody Guthrie & Lee Perry as well as a couple of great Velvet Underground's covers from Beck & The Feelies. Have a great Christmas & New Year and we'll see you on the other side. | ||||

Sean Hocking on FSK - December 2020 To paraphrase the late great Jim Carroll this month's show, "People Who Died" is here to remind you of the amazing musicians we have lost this past year. With the baby boomer generation rapidly ageing and COVID and the general wear and tear of time we might well remember that this past year we lost many greats from Little Richard to Andrew Weatherall and Andy Gill of Gang of Four. Sean celebrates their music and many others in this month's show. | ||||

Thomas Blatchford - December 2020 December is the 12th month of the year and, as well as two songs about December, Thomas' show has wall to wall favourites from 2020 including (but not limited to) Star Party, Black Rock Band, Cut Wire, The Knife and Nightclub plus a reissue from The Prats and a remix of Double Vanity. Whether it's Footsie or The Foots, Basic Dicks or Bass Clef, hopefully there's something here to make your end of year even a tiny bit better. There's only one concession to this show being broadcast around Christmastime (and it's a bit of a downer), plus a celebration of the theremin turning a century old, the noise a mummy would make according to scientists, and probably the greatest song ever about not going skiing. | ||||
