I’m enjoy Monday’s stream from the wonderful Visual Radio Arts, recorded right here in Devizes. They’ve been hosting some great shows recently, from Richard Wileman and Amy Fry, John Watterson, and the Honey Pot. This week was the turn of west country folk-rock band Courting Ghosts……
The first band I managed to catch at last year’s Bradford Roots Festival at the Wiltshire Music Centre, though I have to admit, I was still finding my way around, like a little lost first year on his first day at big school!
These ghosts literally came out of the recording studio last week, nailing their debut album and entering the mixing stage. Contributors to the album includes David Moss playing fiddle, Holly Carter on pedal steel, and Lorna from Fly Yeti Fly adding vocals to a track called I Closed My Eyes. We can’t wait to hear it!
If you go direct to Visual Radio Arts you can check out the interview they did, standard protocol at Phil’s place. There’s also countless past streams archived there. What else you going to do on a winter weekday evening, watch reruns of Homes Under the Hammer?!
