You and the Night and the Music with Adrian Arratoon May/June 2012
This month’s show features four, count ‘em, four interviews.First up is Jessica Winter, of glittering psychedelic pop band The Hall of Mirrors, whose debut release, the Love Child EP, is out now. Then we talk to Katie Malco, whose wry confessional lyrics are married to tuneful melodies on her latest EP, Katie Malco and the Slow Parade. After that there’s a snippet from an interview with the amazing Nicole Atkins that appeared on DCR a few days ago. Her bravura performance at London’s Slaughtered Lamb was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. And to finish, I talk to Gavin and Tom from Ghosting Season, whose debut album, The Very Last of the Saints, is set to be one of the highlights of the year.
You and the Night and the Music special interview with Nicole Atkins
Ahead of her visit to the UK to play three intimate shows, in London and Brighton, Nicole Atkins talks to Adrian Arratoon about playing to audiences armed with cellphones, surviving the cold Swedish winter, which Olympic sport she’d love to participate in and the most dangerous/stupid thing she’s ever done!

The If Show
Liam and Gem once again arrange themselves around a microphone in something that resembles a music based radio show, of course there is plenty of talk on useless subjects such as how they both can’t speak French, vinyl bouncing dj gigs, boobs in T-shirts and more; speaking of T’s there’s also a DCR T-shirt competition (very difficult)! If you came for the music – and some do – the show features classic stomping soul from Winfield Parker, rolling beats from Flume, Aybee and Sepalcure, bliss from Husband and Kindness, an off kilter romp from Atomic Mama and an orchestra that play the Mario Brothers theme tune! Enough? some say……….

You and the Night and the Music April/May 2012
This month’s show features an interview with Tim Elsenburg, the engaging singer with Sweet Billy Pilgrim, to mark the forthcoming release of the band’s magnificent third album, Crown and Treaty, to be released on 30 April.
The conversation covers the thorny problem of coming to terms with personal history, but also such topics as a tramp shouting at schoolgirls, working in a shed and the most striking thing about David Sylvian. We also play two tracks from the new album.

The show also features music from Mirrorring, The Glue Ensemble, Dominique A and Simon Scott.
