The Circle – Mix by Quite Clicky (Edition 30) 23 February 10

Brought to you by Arctic Circle Radio, the Circle is a new weekly podcast that takes you on a one-hour journey based on the most simple and significant of shapes. Every Circle is unique; formed from a guest curator’s musical landscape and they all share the same revolutionary quality: each one ends at the point where it began.

Edition 30 - Mix by Quite Clicky (David Hemingway): Lighthouse Keepers haven’t always been well regarded.  The first were considered to be interfering with the opportunity to plunder from ships that had been shattered upon rocks.  Nevertheless, the ebbs and flows of the following mix are intended as a tribute (of sorts) to the profession, though in the UK at least they’ve long since been made redundant:  when the final manned lighthouse at North Foreland, Kent was automated in 1998, it brought this honourable role to an end.
