Ode to Nowhere poetry show- Episode 2 (February) – Nowhere Fast

Broadcast on Gashouse Radio on Sunday 26th February 2012  Well, it should have been, but the auto DJ was being a sulky git, so it wasn’t. It will air on Sunday 4th March 2012 instead, but we don’t want to make you wait, so here’s the podcast anyway. Now don’t say we never give you anything.

There’s a whole lot of poetry of every flavour, form and fashion crammed into this show as well as a couple of interviews about the different ways people can experience poetry, and some music (for dessert).

This month, the show features Ray Morgan,  Cherry Scott and Dean Atta reading their own work; guitarist/composer/producer Joe Inkpen reads poems by Dean Scott and Alan Cadman; Kate reads work by Linda Andrews and John Langford and there’s beat poetry/rap/spoken word stuff from The Cherry Scott Project, Mr. Payne, Poet and the Loops  and Dean Atta. There’s a song from John Langford, the lyrics of which were adapted from his poem and a song from Edwin Miles which is in the show because it’s just plain lovely. There are also interviews with  choir conductor Em Peasgood, who talks about her experience of conducting a choral arrangement of Lemn Sissay’s poem For Work For Love and Flaming Norah chats about being a performance poet with three children under the age of six and offers a little advice for poets just getting started who might be afraid to share their work.

Yep, it’s Shrove Tuesday, aka pancake day, aka ‘so what if you didn’t get any valentines cards, have some pancakes’ day. Today’s Sunshinecast has absolutely nothing to do with pancakes. It has music in it. You could listen to the music while you eat your pancakes, if you like. Happy Tuesday.

PS: Got some new Americana in today’s show, also some pop and some rock, including the song ‘Pure Confessions’ by Taking Down Titans, which is Gig-X-Change‘s Song of The Week.

Podcast – Sunshinecast Ep33 – Girls Go Wild!

Well, perhaps not quite wild. In fact, we might have just played some acoustic tunes and chatted a bit about stuff. Y’know.

Katy Haymer

Ellie Jamison

In this episode of  Sunshinecast, there’s a chat and some tunes from Suffolk-based singer-songwriter Ellie Jamison, who’s working on her first EP at the moment and with West Yorkshire lass (now defected to Slough)  Katy Haymer, who popped in to the studio to play an acoustic session and have a little bit of a  chat about her new acoustic EP which is due for release in the next month and the album she’s currently working on.

There’s also new music from sixteen year old singer songwriter Emily Sargant, female-fronted alternative acoustic band Hook and superb jazz and blues vocalist Claire Simone. It’s got some songs by bands featuring the male of the species, too,  because not all boys are smelly.
