Podwireless - Local Music From Out There

31/05/2024

June’s election-and Tr*mp-free Podwireless has all sorts, from a capella to morris tunes, from blues to electronica, from the subtly sublime to the frankly ethno-bonkers. A remarkable array of folk, roots music and associated weirdstuff from here, out there and everywhere. The best in unpopular music every month since 2002!
