Tune in for regular gig listings and a deluge of LIVE music!

Saturday 7th October, noon - 1.30pm

Joining deXter Bentley on the Hello Goodbye show this afternoon are both Victoria Yeulet & Benjamin Prosser, who together make songs that draw from their mutual loves of old-time, blues, country, folk, gospel, r’n'b and rockabilly, which they practice on wooden floors with tape players, voices, pedals and tea. Victoria Yeulet currently sings with the Television Personalities and has toured providing backing vocal’s with San Francisco’s The Husbands,as well as working on her own solo vocal projects. Benjamin Prosser has been writing and recording songs for many years, self releasing his tunes and also having released a solo LP ‘Blues for Harpo’ on Sexton Ming’s ‘Rim’ label. Most recently he released a 7″ on the Fitzrovian Phonographic label, one side featuring his current band The Tap Collective.

NO HELLO GOODBYE SHOW DUE TO OUTSIDE BROADCAST FROM THE FRIEZE ART FAIR!

Saturday 21st October, noon - 1.30pm

Performing LIVE in session on the show today with his folk-punk quintet is Sergeant Buzfuz, whose sharp edged songs of modern life are finely embellished with the aid of blanging guitars, soaring strings and ethereal dulcimer. Sergeant Buzfuz is one of the leading lights of the British Anti-Folk scene and runs his own monthly gig night ‘BLANG!’ where over the past few years he has helped to nurture many other like minded artists.

Also live in session is A-Line who are Gemma Tortella, Caryl Mann and Sam Barton. The songs are written by Gemma who has recently acquired a ukulele and has found some blues and psychedlia in its (black) strings. With flutes and trumpets, harps and harmonies A-Line are a bit like Nancy Sinatra, Coco Rosie and Tom Waits. They wear matching outfits whenever possible. They are all Welsh. Gemma is also in Burly Q, London’s best in every way burlesque troupe. She is also know as Miss Anna Kronist, everyone’s favourite 1930’s country singer.

LIVE in session this afternoon is 4tRECK (AKA Sam Callow). Utilising piano, guitar, violin, accordion, percussion and voice (along with some idiosyncratic home-made stringed instruments), 4tRECK creates music of an essentially melancholic nature. Born out of spontaneous improvisation and chance, his compositions can at times sound a little illogical but are always inventive and most importantly entertaining.

Also putting in an appearance with his ‘dark, cabaret, blues’ will be Thee Intolerable Kidd. Performing a set of songs taken from his eponymous debut LP (this hot off the press 9track album is FREE OF CHARGE! if you e-mail your address to: theeintolerablekidd@googlemail.com)
