DJ Backgammon

Air Times: Friday 12-2pm

The show's title is borrowed from a traditional Sussex folk song, and is fitting not only because the show will often concern itself with traditional folk forms worldwide, but moreover because all graves, particularly musical ones, are unquiet. Forgotten musicians and songs of all stripes are buried in such plots, and this work hopes to be awakened. The Unquiet Grave resurrects such music, and forestalls that fate for contemporary sounds one shouldn't miss. Beyond folk songs, one can also expect obscure soul, jazz, garage, new wave, post-punk, classical, and more in between.
