1. As we try to power through the mix bag that is the month of October, I had the pleasure of chatting to a music hero; Neil Arthur from Blancmange. We chatted about the new album- Unfurnished Rooms, the tour and how technology has changed in the field of creative music and loads more. Plus we had a track from the new album and a classic Blancmange track.

More new tunes this week on the show, came from Eden – Hemmingway – The Frixion – Lemonade Kid – Paul Humphries / Destination – Electric City Cowboys – Sombre Moon – Empathy Test and the odd classic here and there.

Check out the interview and the new tracks via my rerun produced on Mixcloud;
