Philip Winter’s Lucky Dip is a night of projections; an oblique hotch-potch of informal experimentation, amateur tripe, non sequiturs and banalities plucked at random. On May 14th Philip Winter’s Lucky Dip makes a splash at The Miller of Mansfield, located at 96 Snowfields Street, SE1.

It is May the 1st and on this very same day six years ago London’s airwaves started to frolic in peculiar ways. All manner of harmless noises and less identifiable sounds began to disturb the aether, at first many keen eared listeners assumed their aerial had taken a turn for the worse and then they realised that it wasn’t a commercial radio station malfunctioning but a grand experiment in the art of listening. Yes, on the 1st of May 2002 Resonance 104.4 FM made its debut transmission, so happy birthday to us and sincere thanks to the thousands of contributors, listeners and well wishers that have supported us donating invaluable ideas, skills, time, money and moral support in sometimes adverse circumstances. Many, many thanks. Happy May Day and here’s to six more years!

Due to technical problems, the second part of “A conversation with Francisco Goldman” will now be aired next month. The new broadcast date will be confirmed as soon as possible - please keep an eye on the website for details.

A Conversation with Francisco Goldman (Pt.1) - 8pm Friday 25th April

During a recent visit to London for International Pen’s ‘Free the Word’ season, Guatemalan-American novelist Francisco Goldman talked to Tim Girven about his recent non-fiction work, The Art of Political Murder. An investigation into the assassination of Bishop Juan Gerardi in 1998, the book began life as an article undertaken for The New Yorker magazine. Finally published after eight years of first-person reporting, the book would subsequently take on a life of its own… with significant political ramifications for Guatemala.

With incidental music from Bloque, Malalma, Los de Abajo and Manu Negra; plus pieces by Colombian pianist and composer Laura Lambuley
The second part of this Clear Spot will be broadcast on Tuesday the 29th of April at 8pm.
