ANDREW MATTHEWS

A show where the expected electronic collage is supplemented by Hungarian Prog Folk – who knew?

A landmark show featuring guest pianist, Matt Collins, who brings his piano into the studio! Hear stories of his varied musical adventures from the smartest weddings to Fungus Licks.

This show features studio guests, Serguey and Joe from Stroud-based alternative rock band, The Trapdoor Spiders. We play three of their own songs as well as their ‘tracks of a lifetime’, which include The White Stripes and Lou Reed.

Singer and photographer, Shay Parsons (Rhythm Coalition/Parsons Green) talks with Andrew about her musical past, as well as looking to the future, with her new band, ‘After Hours’. Tracks include Joni Mitchell, Linkin Park, Ed Sheeran and Kirsty Clinch.

This show includes music from local bands Aqaba and Courting Ghosts, as well as information to promote the forthcoming Bradford on Avon Live Music Festival (30th May to June 1st).

Singer-songwriter, Jess Chivers, joins Andrew in the studio and talks about her wide-ranging musical enthusiasms,, the Irish music scene and the inspirational sources behind her own songwriting.

This week I talk with Paul Hammond, singer/guitarist with BoA bands, Fungus Licks and The Karport Collective. Paul is an active contributor to the local live music scene, not only as a player, but also by bringing his professional design skills to the BoA Live Music Festival.

Andrew is joined tonight by Devizes-based singer songwriter, Josh Oldfield. Josh’s musical journey takes us from first his first guitar, into metal, via work as a chef, to folk and juke joint throwout (yes it’s a thing!) with a couple of Josh’s own recently released songs.

This week I’m joined on the show by Neil Brewer, drummer with local band, Be Like Will. We talk about the band and how Neil became the drummer. I also play a rare track featuring Peter Gabriel on backing vocals.
