Canterbury Sans Frontières: episode 54

Canterbury Sans Frontières: Episode 54

This episode is loosely structured around the theme of the City of Canterbury's history, to tie in with the imminent publication of my "experimental history" book You Are Here: The Biography of a Moment. Although readings of short passages from the book are featured throughout, the focus is very much on music, spanning the centuries from the mid-900s to the summer of 2014. Celestial choral music from St. Dunstan, Orlando Gibbons and Thomas Tallis is interwoven with the earliest experiments from the Daevid Allen Trio, Wilde Flowers and proto-Soft Machine. Also featured: Steve Hillage, The Polite Force, Caravan, local jazz legend Tony Coe and a special one-hour mix of music from the local music scene during the period 2008-2014 (Syd Arthur, The Boot Lagoon, Zoo For You, Lapis Lazuli, Arlet, Koloto, etc.).
