Here’s the tracklisting for Midnight Campfire episode #64, first broadcast Wed 11 Nov 2015. The second hour is possibly the best hour I’ve done, although not “fun” per se: a themed Remembrance Playlist of songs and poems of war and peace. I’ll chuck up the listen online link as soon as it’s ready – and here’s what I played… read more

Here’s the playlist for Midnight Campfire episode #63 first broadcast Wed 4 Nov 2015 on Brighton’s Juice 107.2. A good one – the Vic Chesnutt was a perfect start, lots of new stuff in the first hour, including some unheard gems. Launched November’s Album Of The Month, Mairearad & Anna’s magic third album Best Day. Then a themed second hour of rebel songs (vaguely for bonfire night), with a few lush bits of audio linking them. You can LISTEN ONLINE HERE – and here’s what I played… read more

Anyway, you can LISTEN ONLINE HERE and here’s what I played… read more

Here’s the playlist for Midnight Campfire episode #61 first broadcast Wed 21 Oct 2015, on Juice 107.2. I was recovering from illness doing this show and it passed by in a blur; I barely know what was going on, to be honest, though I know the music mix was lovely. Listen online here and here’s what I played… read more

The point about non-violence in activism is not that the state and corporations are non-violent, so we should be too. It is, rather, that the state and corporations are violent, very much so, and at a deeply ingrained level, with the media almost always rendering that violence invisible or normalised.  read more
