Teresa & Andy's Fantasy Festival:
'Teresa & Andy's Fantasy Festival', is a two-hour special in which Andy and his girlfriend pick and introduce their ideal line-up for a 2008 summer festival. There are three days and two stages worth of acts in their "virtual festival", featuring headliners such as

Miyagi,
Actiongroup,
Zoey Van Goey and some group called the
Fall.
We'll also be showcasing a few tracks from the Chamber Music album, a collection of no less than 36 different acts adaptations of James Joyce's love poems. Add to this tracks from

OK boy's packed and ready? No, I think we can leave the smoking jackets and sherry glasses ...
Mark Cunliffe:
Jerry Hope was a key member of
the dust collectors, a band who I think are the best Derby has ever produced. He died in April and this month I pay tribute to him by playing four tracks he was heavily involved in making.
I also feature
Sleaford mods as yet unreleased album "1 er then ennit". There is
Four Tet remixing
Thom Yorke, two cover versions, an unwitting array of dancehall, fabulous garage action from
The Federals more from the Zim Kids series,
Ruff Sqwad's latest 12”,
King Soly dubstepping to great effect and some loveliness from
The Mummers...
Mark Whitby:
In his June show, Mark previews the 2000 Trees festival, taking place in the idyllic setting of the Cotswolds, and featuring
Art Brut,
These New Puritans and
The Anomalies, plus loads of others in what promises to be two days of fun and frolics in the English countryside.
Away from the greenery and the sunshine, this three hour spectacular also features tracks from new (and new-ish) albums by the resolutely urban
Fall, electronica from
Bitstream,
Pink Skull and
Cinema du Lyon, Germany's
trondheim, Ukraine's
Younnat and a preview track from the forthcoming
Stereolab album. All of which, along with a bottle of cheap cider and a piece of grass stuck in yer mouth, adds up to a cracking way of spending a summer's day (or night).
Neil Jenkins:
For June, Neil ditches the older records and concentrates on the newer stuff to help get through the wonderous backlog, including tracks from new albums by
The Fall,
Portishead,
Half Man Half Biscuit,
The Kills and a host of newer, less established bands and artists. This month's feature is
the ME band.
Pete Jackson:
This month, Pete Jackson proudly presents The Rebellious Jukebox - a two-hour assault on the ears from the distant, and not so distant, past. As well as high-quality tunes from the 1930s (!) to a couple of years ago, you'll also hear my personal selection of the five best cover versions EVER. So if your idea of heaven is a jukebox that has everything from
Lee 'Scratch' Perry to
Slowdive, from
The 3 Johns to
1000 Homo DJs, you've found it. And you don't even have to put any 50ps in.
Rachael Neiman:
June’s edition of ‘The Rachael Neiman Experience’ is only an hour-long due to continuing hectic times at Cherryade Towers! But, what an hour it is! We talk about our recent adventures at Ladyfest London and play
Peggy Sue and the Pirates in honour of it. We also have a feature on the forthcoming Strawberry Shortcake festival in Manchester and play some tracks from featured bands including
Amida,
Le Tetsuo,
Puzzle and
The Lovely Eggs.
we also have top quality riot grrrl from
Hooker, cute indiepop in the form of
Woog Riots,
Cars Can Be Blue, the new singles from
My Sad Captains and
Los Campesinos! And
Keytarded with a beautiful keytar cover which knocks spots off the original, listen and see what you think!

Yank Sizzler:
Let us peruse the recent recordings of

The Dirtbombs &
Dark Meat as we comfortably snuggle up against classics from
Sister Nancy,

Godspeed You Black Emperor and many more. We also treat ourselves to some of the finest live renditions
Calexico has put to tape. And finally I froth at the mouth as it appears that I will get to not only see
Tom Waits in June, but the
Vaselines as well. Life is grand and so is this show.
