Wildflowers and Trond K & the Serious Issues  perform live in session on the Hello GoodBye Show at noon. Wildflowers began in April 2012, put together by former Bristol based lead singer and chief songwriter Siddy Bennett. They were suitably labelled in an early review as “Punk Dolly Parton”. Trond K is a singer/songwriter based in Bergen, Norway. He is widely influenced by the 70’s outlaw country scene, the English pub-rock scene and the post-punk new romantics. His song writing and performances spans from the most intense and soulful acoustic numbers to the novelty loud and confronting rock/cabaret-songs. [Repeated Monday 5.30am.]

OTO Broadcast at 2.30pm features new and old music from artists performing at Cafe OTO, including Alexander Von Schlippenbach, Chris Abrahams, Bee Mask, Bridget Hayden, Eyvind Kang & Jessika Kenney, David Grubbs and The 49 Americans. This programme should have gone out last Wednesday night but did not due to technical difficulties. [Repeated Sunday 10am.]

Presented by Markson Pianos Composer-in-Residence Lola Perrin, with Karl Ferre. [Repeated Monday 9am].
