The growing programme schedule now includes a twice daily (10am and 8pm) half hour selection of tracks from recent or forthcoming new releases by local artists (that is artists from West of the Exe).

This month we are featuring new albums by Annown (due out in March) from North Cornwall , a new double EP from Banjovial (volume 1 now on Bandcamp, vol 2 imminent) based in Padstow, pre preview track from a new album Boscastle’s Jon Woode is recording – so a very North Cornwall flavour this month.

Plus the Queen of Westcountry Folk – Miranda Sykes has a new album available to pre-order for an April release. You can catch her with Jim Causley touring the area during February and March

If you are an artist based in Cornwall or Devon (aka Dunomia, or the Land West the Exe) and you have something new you’d like us to showcase drop a line to hello@wreckers.radio.

Some great new music for you this month from artists who have recently played locally and are based or connected West the Exe (ie the land of moors and rugged coasts in the SW corner of the largest British Isle)

In alphabetical order:

• Annown’s new album “The Swing Station” is due out in March and we have a preview in New Releases as well as here.
• Banjovial’s new double EP is top class music to make you want to get on your feet, with some more mellow tunes in the mix too.
• Chris While and Julie Matthews’ new album “Days Like These”, two of the top folk artists collaborate with brand new songs
• Jeff ‘the Horse’ Horsey’s 2015 album “Skeletons” – we just love the track “Rattlesnakes” and have delayed too long getting this now 10 year old gem online.
• Jon Woode’s latest album “Into the Waves”. Boscastle based songwriter casts a nautical themed spell. His newest song Lamorna’s Lament is also being previewed in New Releases.
• Miranda Sykes preview of the new album “Out of the Woods”. She played this at Boscastle this weekend with Jon Woode supporting and Phil Beer turned up to join her for some songs. We loved it.

You can hear a random selection of tracks from these albums every day from 12:00 to 12:30, and again in the evening from 9:00pm to 9:30.
