After Eight Show - New Music You Just Don't Hear Anywhere Else!

An eclectic mix of original, intelligent, melodic, grown-up songs - electronic, rnb, jazz, blues and acoustic. And mostly #NewMusic from artists who you have not heard of - yet! Think 'next series of Jools' - that's the kind of artists that we choose. We featured some of the more interesting nominees for this year's Mercury Prize. Hip hop and Ed Sheeran are covered elsewhere - we concentrate on the more original nominees who won't be played on national / big commercial stations. We had #NewMusic from Rick Estrin and The Nightcats, Joon Moon, Glass Animals, ABRA, Leiik, Darto, Thandiswa Red Mazwai, Skott, Dinosaur, Kate Tempest, Freya Ridings, Ghostly Beard, Bedouine, Emily Jane White and others. Our Luvva Cover feature was a very surprising cover of a Foo Fighters classic by Sway Clarke! And Switch Dunmow's Record of the Week was a very sensitive, downtempo treatment of Cher's Believe by Lauren Kyobe - a student at the Scene II Performing Arts Academy where The After Eight Show is broadcast from. Music that you just don't hear anywhere else!
