Mellow out

Another year has passed, and I extend to all my listeners a Merry Christmas wish and hope you all have a safe and happy New Year.

For the show between Christmas and New Year, I will be playing a lovely selection of ambient tracks to suit the mellow time.

Tune in to YVFM 99.1 from 9 pm Thursday or get it streamed live from the website.


A listener sent me a tip on a wonderful ambient band, so I will play some pieces by Stellamara, and you can find them at their website.

This weeks Goon Show will be 'The Fifty Pound Cure'.

Ambient with Voice

Tune in to SoundScape this Thursday (Dec 20) for some great ambient music on YVFM 99.1 or get it streamed live from the website.


Much ambient music is purely instrumental, however, it is not always like that. This week I will be featuring a selection of ambient with voice. Items from Bjork, Enya, Ofra Haza, Brian Eno, Sheila Chandra, Katy Taylor, Storia, Maria Minerva, Hildegard of Bingen and even music from Dr Who.


The Goon Show this week will be 'A Christmas Carol'.

Chill out time

Tune in to SoundScape for some great ambient music this Thursday (Dec 13) on YVFM 99.1 or get it streamed live from the website.

With the passing of Ravi Shankar this week, I will play some of his music.



We've been able to hear a whole ream of new music the last few weeks, and this week is no exception. I have new music from Silvercord and Robert Carty to play, and I'll be bringing some blasts from the past  as well.




This week's Goon Show will be 'The Gold Plate Robbery'.

Turvey, Duc and Brubeck

Tune in to SoundScape on YVFM 99.1 this Thursday night from 9 pm for the best of ambient music, or get it streamed live from the website.


After arranging many guests to come in and have a chat on The Bat Cave (Monday nights) I've finally organised a guest for SoundScape :) This week we will have Gemma Turvey in the studio to have a chat and talk about her latest music and gigs. Gemma plays a blend of jazz/classical/ambient with a number of fellow musicians. You can check out her projects here.



Also this Thursday will be the debut of music from Catherine Duc's latest cd, Visions and Dreams.

In memory of Dave Brubeck, who passed away just a couple of days ago, I will play some of his performances.

The Goon Show this week will be 'The Tay Bridge'
