Dub like dirt

Sounds from the South – Episode 6

Every Sunday from 6-8pm on Fab Radio International is “a gardening programme like no other” called The Dirt. Every week, we at weeds do a spot called Sounds from the south (usually around 10-15 mins into the show) where we say a few words and select a tune.

This week’s is a tribute to “Big Ray’s Country & Western Disco” a legendary club night at The Joiners Arms, Camberwell in the 90’s. The tune is the excellent Ranking Toyan with “How the west was won.”

If you want to listen to our tribute to the legendary country night, have a listen on play again later this week to the 7th September show here at about 10-15 mins in.

There’s older episodes of the show up there too and our spot is usually around the same time in every week. Thanks very much to Simon, Ricky and Paul for having us on!

Thanks to the Rt Hon David Rodigan for informing us about this video of the excellent single from Protoje featuring Chronixx the tune of which we stuck on weeds a few weeks ago. Have a look at the smartly dressed taxi driver, does he look familiar?

Last of the summer lime

Lord Creator – Such is life – Randy’s

Big thanks to everyone who attended yesterday’s “The last Saturday of Summer” at Limewharf  and for making it a great day out! Big thanks to Emma at Limewharf for sorting it out, Marc B for the idea and The Rhythm Doctor (who played the above), Thea and Mark G for playing some brilliant tunes! It was a perfect venue for getting together and chatting over a few bevies to some great music.

A couple of gardening related things picked up while at Limewharf yesterday. Firstly, thanks to Dell for letting us know about the forthcoming Cordwainers Garden Autumn Show on Saturday 20th September at 182 Mare Street E8 3RE from 11am-3pm. Look’s great, who’s the local celebrity I wonder?
