I'm back from a trip around the Netherlands and as it was so sublime I'm paying homage, like previous shows on France and the Czech Republic, by devoting (most of) this Friday's program to music from that glorious land, along with a few new releases. Tim will be away watching David McAlmont's final DJ spot, but I will be joined by occasional collaborator Max Benezeth of Les Sept Mondes for a messy alternative to our regular show. Hope you can join us. (Josh)

Majella Byrne will join Tim next week, Friday 11th August, where they'll look at early and contemporary music, and how the former has informed the latter. Stay tuned!
