Fog Cast
[Repeated from Wednesday 11pm.] A series of late-night, deep listening soundtracks hosted by Robin The Fog. Tonight, for the final show in the current series, we look ahead to FOGFEST, taking place at Iklectik, Peckham Levels on Saturday 1st August – with the minor caveat that much of material created by our roster of incredible stars is far too "banging" for a late night, deep-listening format! After a brief opening snatch from DJ Food & Graham Dunning, recorded live at FOGFEST II in 2023, we'll hear from Ken Hollings and The Howling, recorded at the launch of Ken's book 'Paradise' for The Horse Hospital in 2024. There's also exquisite music from Sarah Angliss and Xylitol, plus a secret new thing by Howlround, which may or may not come into play on the evening. Either way, come drift into the night with us... and maybe come drift towards Peckham on Saturday 1st? Further details at: robinthefog.com.
