Broadcaster verses Chas and Dave-Turn that noise down!

Broadcaster's "Make me Happy" remix of Black's (AKA Colin Vearncombe) Wonderful Life

Black (AKA Colin Vearncombe)-Wonderful Life-Broadcaster's Make me Happy remix

Peggy Seeger as you have never heard her before!!!
This track was voted off the Folksploitation album by the Democratic Republic of Broadcaster amid accusations of it inducing vomiting in the listener. I find that if I put it on in one room and listen to it from another room, it doesn't make me feel sick at all. 

Class War

For my late, great friend Steve. This is the closest that I have ever got to realising his spirit. X

Rise Up

With a lot of help from Lamb Henry (guitars, sitar, backing vocals and some percussion) and Richard Burton reading Dylan Thomas, here is a track for my dear friend who passed away.

Going Home

Jake's Theme

Featuring Mick "straight outta Stevenage" Paget on a homemade lap steel guitar what him and him's daddy made on the back porch with bits of a filing cabinet and such. Get down!

It's 'kin hot

Everybody Does That

Finding the right drugs for Bob

This is a bit boombastic...once again featuring Mickey 'Boy' Paget on guitars.

Get Ready

A very old tune from 2008. Please excuse the terrible mix :)

Top Of The World

Back in 2008, musician/producer Broadcaster took samples from the award-winning 1960s BBC Radio Ballads series and gave them a radical makeover on his debut EP Primary Transmission. By blurring musical genres, Broadcaster jumped through time to bring this music to a fresh set of ears and Primary Transmission was played on BBC Radios 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. The single ‘England’ immediately became Colin Murray’s Record of the Week on his BBC Radio 1 show.

Now Broadcaster’s back, pushing the boundaries once again with his first full-length album, Folksploitation out on Red Grape Records on 30th July 2012. Featuring the unlikely juxtaposition of the vocals of folk icon Peggy Seeger and Broadcaster’s dub, hip hop, funk and techno beats, it turns the highly improbable into the possible, the traditional into the experimental and a conundrum into artistry.

The lead single First Time Ever sees Broadcaster working his magic on one of the best-known songs of all time, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. And the twist? The song was written by Ewan MacColl for the 21-year-old Peggy herself. Now in her mid-70s, Peggy was delighted to subject herself to the Broadcaster treatment.
