The audiobook of The Colour of Magic is read by Colin Morgan (Merlin; Testament of Youth; Belfast). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

'It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination....'

Somewhere between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a magical world not totally unlike our own. Except for the fact that it travels through space on the shoulders of four giant elephants who in turn stand on the shell of an astronomically huge star turtle, of course.

Rincewind is the world's worst wizard who has just been handed a very important job: to look after the world's first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. Unfortunately, their journey across the Disc includes facing robbers, monsters, mercenaries, and Death himself.

And the whole thing's just a game of the gods that might send them over the edge....

You can listen to the Discworld novels in any order, but The Colour of Magic is the first book in the Wizards series. The Colour of Magic is the first book in the Discworld series and was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett, read by Colin Morgan, Bill Nighy and Peter Serafinowicz

Beautiful Bedtime Stories - Milton The Lonely Kitten - Excerpt

So our next guest mix comes from Warriors Of The Dystotheque!

Been loving their Excursions radio show on Cowbell Radio for a while now so its great to have a mix from them!!

A little bit about them:

Warriors of the Dystotheque is the brain child of Jonny Mac from Ireland, who as last 20 years DJ’d across the globe alongside Phil Hartnoll form Orbital and Leeroy from the Prodigy for several of those years, He also survived 2 tours with Shaun Ryder & Bez from The Happy Mondays,

Numerous festival appearances at V Festival after winning the XFM DJ competition in 2000 and many others across the world, not to mention several residencies in Ibiza playing Sunset & then after dark laying down Nu School Breaks as well as promoting several club nights and warehouse parties across Coventry, Leicester and The Sanctuary in Birmingham with all the top Breaks, Techno, Turntabilist’s & D&B DJ’s for the best part of a decade before relocating back home to Ireland and shelving Jonny Mac and DJ’ing in 2011. 

After taking time out for a few years he started his new project Warriors of the Dystotheque in 2015 and they’ve had major support across BBC 6 Music, BBC R1, RTE 2, BBC Foyle, BBC Ulster & even KEXP in the USA getting in on the act, 7 EP’s and an album later with remixes from Justin Robertson, Richard March (BRA) Tronik Youth and many others, collaborations & remixes for Graham Crabb (Pop Will Eat Itself), James Atkin (EMF) & more they are again about to make some noise with the new EP Thou Shalt Not Follow which comes with a rather tasty Acid remix from Tici Taci’s Duncan Gray.

The EP is a direct response to the Idea that Brexit, the Tories & Trump being in Power is a good idea.

With WotD being a unique set up this is something thats had a major impact on the band members as they are made up of Mike & Nick in New York (USA), Sean who spends his time between Coventry (UK) & Toulon (France) & Jonny in Derry on the Irish border. 

With several DJ festival appearances over the last few years and a tour of Thailand last April he’s getting back into the DJ scene and taking WotD onto the dance floors and has easily picked up where he left it in 2011. 

Thou Shalt Not Follow is released on the 20th March across the usual platforms with Bandcamp being live for pre orders from now.
