Andrew Morrison:
Join Andy for a two-hour lucky dip of excellent music, signed and unsigned, old and new, including new releases from Easy Star All-Stars, The Horrors, Dan Deacon, Depeche Mode and Y Diwygiad, along with exciting unsigned material from Block 45, Lassus, and Death Valley Sleepers. There's old shoegazing by Curve and new shoegazing from The Joy Formidable, slick electronic sounds from Walt and Tiger Stripes, as well as two tracks each from both Raw Milk and Samuraj Cities.

Jeff Grainger:
Join Jeff on a 60 minute whistle stop, musical tour, of the globe where we can hear tracks by Bam Bam (Mexico), Straight Arrows (Australia), Johnny Horizontal (Wales), Clothilde (France), Dananananaykroyd (Scotland), Bermuda Triangles (USA) and Minced Beats from the good ol' U of K.
We'll take a breather at the half way point to soak in the excellent session by the Stink Taps recorded exclusively for the show. Oh yeah speaking of exclusives there's a sneak preview of one of Marble Valley's live songs recorded especially for the show - but more on that next month.

Marcelle:
How to age

Whilst in her mid-fourties Marcelle - touring all over Europe - shows how to age gracefully. In her June show she has a session by a band who once sang about ageing, and now act rejuvenated: The Nightingales.
There's also a mix by Vinkepeezer, recorded live in Marcelle's living room. There's some amazing African music, recorded in a different age. And of course there are the restless youngsters, jumping with bass heavy joy on vinyl: Cardopusher, Phokus, Ed Cox and Martyn.
We see a welcome return of Marcelle's favourite female MC's (Warrior Queen and Soom-T) and to top it all we have two new tracks by a 73-old man who has aged insanely well: Lee Perry.

Mark Cunliffe:
We are moving into the summer now people. You can tell this 'cos Durham Country Cricketers have stripped down to two Jaeger jumpers, three Armani tank tops, a Pierre Cardin crimpoline shirt and a Haines & Bonner thermal vest. The heated cricket box is also on ice now, something which Gareth Breese is pleased about after the thermostat malfunctioning incident…..sizzle!
This month’s show sees the unedifying sight of Tech Itching his Crack. Willie Nelson goes all western swing on our (itchy) ass. Amit throws his boiled egg in the bin and Mutant Ape thinks all Italian under tens are revolting, power to the (young) people! Caspa's knocking on Dynamite MC's door and Pocket ain't doing a tune about Top Cat that's for sure. Finally, we have an ACE session from Little Whores On The Prairie. So log on and get the chance to win a Durham CCC Pierre Cardin crimpoline shirt … come on! I ain't bowling you a googly …

Mark Whitby:
'An absolute clinker', Richie Benaud might say, as the English cricket season hovers into view and the long summer evenings are filled with sounds of So Shush and Noise Annoys Simon and a very welcome EP reissue from 4our5ive6ix. And he might just be referring to the debut Dandelion Radio session of Nickname: Rebel, who deliver five tracks of such stunning ferocity, you might want to don a safety helmet.
In the non-cricketing world, Mexican Institute of Sound are whooping it up in the farmyard while Israeli Lemonchill relaxes on the boundary with a pint, and Serbia’s Duck opens the bowling of half an over of great releases from the French netlabel scene, followed out of the pavilion by the remarkable Llamatron, who fields Pinky and the Brain as a couple of suspicious looking fine legs. And Brittany’s Downtown Cuckoo may be planting their eggs in other people’s nests, but by god they’re hatching well.
And of course no summer would be complete without a slab of vintage Peel in the form of the mighty Captain Beefheart and a fabulous ‘lost’ track from the Dandelion Records label. Victory by an innings and 15 runs, I reckon.

Matt Jones:
This month has a couple of distinguishing marks that separate it from the regular flock of previous month's shows. One is a long awaited session track from Dilworth and the second is a whole bunch of releases from the excellent and innovative Benbecula Records, including Wounded Knee, Flowers of Hell and CloudC.
Along with these special treats we've got pleasures both regular and irregular in the form of lots of new releases and music to get yer brain dancing by the likes of Duck, Buguinha Dub, Castrolava, Orchitekt, Storsveit Nix Noltes, Winnie the Shit, Riley and Sushi Dread.

Pete Jackson:
On Pete Jackson's June extravaganza, we'll be wading through a stack of new albums from Wooden Shjips, Boxcutter, Art Brut and Cheval Sombre, wishing Morrissey a belated (un)happy birthday, wigging all the way out with some Class A Japanese prog rock from Yonin Bayashi and sampling a range of ear-hurting delights from The Chasms, Greek bricoleurs Bad Ratio and Russian nutters Rivak. All this and two exclusive new tracks from the uber-prolific Lord Numb as the cherries on top of a very wobbly-looking trifle.

Rachael Neiman:
A quick romp through some of Rachael and Adam's favourite artists before they go off on a summer break.
This month they manage to squeeze into one hour a fistful of tracks from bands including The Bobby McGee's (from their first LP), The Kabeedies, The Lovely Eggs, Hotpants Romance and about a dozen more.

Rocker:
Another packed three-hour show this month - with two featured LPs - The latest from New York noisemeisters Sonic Youth, and the debut from Australia's The Sunday Reeds.
There's also new music from My Teenage Stride; The Perry Lane Sect; PJ Harvey & John Parish; Liechtenstein; Gwen The Killjoy; Brilliant Colors; Days; Crescendo; The Kick Inside; Cats On Fire; and The Fresh & Onlys.
There's electronica from Jim Rivers; Dusty Kid & Marascia; James Zabiela; Gui Boratto; and an excellent taster for the forthcoming LP by The Field. There's also dubstep from Toasty; and Flying Lotus; and Booker T reinterprets OutKast on his hallmark hammond organ.
This month's Peel's Big 45 is a 1995 release from The North East of England on Rumblestrip Records, and this month's Educating Elizabeth is a Northern Soul classic from 1966.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: Rumblestrips - or "Singing Shoulders" were first used on roads in the USA in 1952.

Simon Hickinbotham:
Hello all, it's great to be back with a new show for June. I'll be playing a whole bunch of new stuff I've found over the past couple of months, including stuff from Ben Butler and his Mousepad, Natural Numbers, Beep Beep Rust Rust, Despised Posision, Fallout Club, Jimmy The Hideous Penguin, Bit Crusher, Uke of Spaces Corners and Duodiode.
Thanks for listening!

Yank Sizzler:
Come waltz the month of June with me on the Yank Sizzler show here on Dandelion Radio as we spin music from Crystal Antlers, The Mayfair Set, Rooftop Vigilantes, Blonde Redhead, Camera Obscura, Department Of Eagles, The Strange Boys, Dan Deacon and more.
We'll also smack down some oldie platters that matter with Maria Ambush & Jolly Green Giants.
