ShadowPlay returns with its continental boots on for a whistlestop audio tour of European soil. Covering the likes of Sweden, Germany, the Czech Republic, France and, erm, Brazil we stop at music, art and literature for a quick snapshot before collecting an auditory souvenir and scurrying home. Featuring the likes of Jose Gonzalez, Amon Tobin and an interview with Charlotte Marionneau of La Volume Courbe. Ramshackle and full of passion as ever, give us a listen or download the podcast wherever you are in the world…

We are delighted to welcome MJ Hibbett on the show this week. A legend in his own age Hibbett is an impassioned singer-songwriter who sacks off all these mushy songs and entertains with songs of real life and ideals. He’s funny, witty charming, good build and a great kisser…sorry no it’s not a classified but he’s ace. Here’s the debut of his track A Thousand Ukeleles!

The final part of our MJ HIbbett session sees an amusing attempt at participation in a certain comedy rap song by the Playboys, we play guess the answer and we play some absolute classics which couldn’t be ignored including Rodney’s fave.

In which excellent cuts from the new Wilco and Coco Rosie albums are overshadowed by Lambert’s uncanny ability to create fantabulous sounding supergroups by identifying tunes. Quality stuff.

I catch up with one of the most exciting British writers of the last ten years on the Sheffield date of his tour of his new book, Hospital. Toby had written everything from crime to offbeat romance and a full ShadowPlay style grilling was well overdue…

We warm people up for Tuesday Club nicely this week with Dan Greenpeace’s Emmerdale mix, some DJ Yoda and Ugly Duckling. Not to be outdone though Andy Kershaw makes an appearance wondering about the worldwide web and we discuss Patrick Wolf’s new direction. All terribly high art of course.
