Hi…
Welcome to Arctic Circle Radio…
You’ll be able to hear what is inspiring the AC on a weekly basis in three shows – The Hut (me and a bunch of mp3s) and The Circle (a guest artist from the AC world compiling a weekly mix). And Arctic Circle Radio which is now on Resonance FM (with much of the above but also with live guest and live sessions).
How do you listen? Well you can listen now by downloading the pocast. Scroll down to the show you want to hear and click on the download link. Or you can listen every Tuesday night to Chill (on your digital radio) at 10pm. We return to Resonance FM in September and the previous shows area available via the menu below.
I now also put together a weekly radio playlist email (example here) which you opt in to a jointhecircle.met/mailing.
Spread the word…
Ben

Edition 41: Not Really Christmas Show
On the first edition of 2012 we look back to Christmas….yes I know it’s over! But on 20th December at the Vortex in Dalston we brought together a bunch of very talented London based artists for our Christmas Broadcast. Despite the seasonal time of year they performed many songs which looked more generally at wintertime themes. Here are the non-Christmas highlights from that concert featuring some of Arctic Circle’s favourite artists – Gill Sandell, Ted Barnes, Piney Gir, Enderby’s Room and The Real Tuesday Weld.
