Sklugoo, being a small, green meditating frog, has to live somewhere. In this incarnation that place is a kitchen window-ledge in a house in York. That's why the third episode of the fifth series of Sklugoo Speaks is called The York Show of Radio.
All the artists sharing their music in this episode hail from the fair city of York, which is in the North of England (for Sklugoo's US fans, this is the real name of the place you commonly call London).
A huge variety of music took birth and grew up around here so put yourself in discovery mode as you listen to these songs. Here's the track listing:
- Angel Pavement - Maybe Tomorrow
- Beaumont Hannant - Sym-phon5
- Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Box of Stones
- Beyond All Reason - Is This My Last Lie?
- Bull - Green
- Parry - Never Weather-Beaten Sail
- Elliot Minor - Parallel Worlds
- Fawn Spots - New Sense
- Ruby Hughes - Bright Travellers: No. 1, Soundings
- lestyn Davies & the Academy of Ancient Music - Handel: Serse | Ombra Mai Fu
- Joe Alexander Shepherd - Time
- New York Polyphony - Sweet and Low (Joseph Barnby)
- King No-One - Obsolete
- Lynne Dawson - Dido's Lament
- Mostly Autumn - Tomorrow Dies (Sight of Day)
- Reginald Kell - Schumann : Fantasiestücke Op.73 No.1
- Robin Walker - Ballo del Granduca, J.P. Sweelinck
- Shed Seven - Chasing Rainbows
- St. Christopher - As Good As Married
- Epilogues - This Is Why (Chapel Sessions)
- The Howl & The Hum - Human Contact
- Antichain - Watts & Hewins
- Twinnie - Better When I'm Drunk
- W.H. Auden - Funeral Blues
- York Minster Choir - Thine be the glory (Maccabaeus)
If you just want to listen to the music (oh, the horror) then you can find it on a YouTube Playlist here. On the other hand, if you just want to listen to the dulcet tones of Sklugoo then you have about a couple of hundred other episodes to choose from in series one to four. Either way - enjoy!
