Here’s the playlist for Midnight Campfire episode #41, first broadcast Wed 3 June 2015 on Juice 107.2. The first hour was entirely artists I’ve not played before on the show, not necessarily brand new music but fresh to the Campfire. The second hour was all songs themed around cuckoos, inspired by Kathryn Williams’ beautiful, disturbing new single ‘Cuckoo’. Listen online HERE and this is the list of songs I played…
