Ive mentioned 'On the Wire' ( BBC Radio Lancashire ) a few times over the years , but to be honest Ive not listened for 18 months or more which I put right today , its amazing, Steve Barker ( who presents the show ) is still playing cutting edge left field new music after 35 years of his show (and in the time rivaled Peel as the best radio DJ inthe UK for new music)
Id strongly recommend those of you who like your music of a 'stranger cut' ( found that on an old tabacco tin once
) and are into Dub/Reggae/Electro/obscure and world , really try and give his show a go for new music. its availlable on BBC Radio Iplayer search for one the wire bbc radio lancashier , he broadcasts live on a Saturday 12- 2am , but as most of us are tucked up in bed iplayer works a treat.
Im listening to his 6 Jan 2018 programme and its a treat and good example of his show...dub..then a bit of south african electro ....good source of music for 2018
Track list from his 6 Jan show:
