If '22

Today I did a very special show as part of my Erasmus visit to Goldsmiths Library. London. 

I was very happy and lucky to be able to do a takeover show with Marilyn Clarke (Director of Library Services Goldsmiths University) Marilyn chose the music. In the show we chatted about the music selection, Goldsmiths Library and all the great initiatives being undertaken by the library, diversity, Liberating the curriculum and  libraries in general. 

And as we were freed of the constraints of the studio hour this is an extra long show clocking in at just over the 90 minute mark. 

I hope you enjoy.

Wille Stewart is from Dublin and now resides in Leitrim with his partner and sound artist Natalia Beylis. He has been involved in the Irish underground for 30 years. 

Willie was the drummer in the mythical Dalkey punk band, Bambi, he is currently a member of Woven Skull alongside Natalia, and the pair are in the midst of converting their backyard into a multi-function space for creatives. They also run the excellent all-day festival of experimentation in music and sound in Leitrim called Hunters Moon. 

Willie is a filmmaker who produced a fantastic documentary about Belgian surrealist, painter, sculpture, filmmaker, and performance artist Ludo Mich, called Ludo Is Fantastic. 

He ran the former independent label Hypnagogic Tapes and is now the driving force behind Nyahh records, Nyahh meaning the soul or spirit of something. Nyahh records describe themselves as ‘A home for sound collectors, noise makers and music builders who love a good Nyahh’, and they recently released an extraordinary Compilation of Experimental Music in Ireland from 1960 to 1994, called Under The Island. 

We talk about all this and much, much more! (including DeValera!)

I hope you enjoy!

Shush 265 - Dave Hackett Takeover

The Palestine Movement is the largest movement in British politics for a century. Yet it has been vilified and policed as if it were a tiny group of extremists.

In this investigative episode of Novara FM, series producer Richard Hames is joined by Simon Childs, commissioning editor at Novara Media, to expose the authoritarian turn inside the British state that is driving the crackdown on Palestine solidarity.

From Suella Braverman's use of draconian 'Henry VII' powers to Michael Gove's attempts to redefine extremism, and from Britain's collusion with Israeli arms manufacturers to its special treatment for accused war criminals, this is a story about how the supposedly neutral institutions of the state have been used to silence a movement.

Featuring Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, Ben Jamal, director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Kevin Blowe from police monitoring organisation Netpol, and Tim Crosland from the Defend Our Juries campaign.
