Jivebeat Radio: Recent Episodes
Graham G of Tangosynthesis
Chilled neotango, modern blues, jazz, and more in the Midnight Chill shows on Tuesday and Friday evenings; upbeat bounce, big bands, and a bit of fun in The Late(ish) Breakfast Show on Monday and Thursday mornings. Graham may sometimes defy convention with his choice of tracks, but the selection is always driven by his love for music and dance. Listen live thorugh our website, or catch up here on the podcast, usually the following day after broadcast.

The name says it all... chilled out tracks from Graham's record selection. Not much neotango in here tonight, but everything from electronica, through rock and modern blues, to synth pop and jazz.
Tonight I go back over some of my favourite tracks from the last few weeks of big band and jazz.

Join me for 90 minutes of XTango @ Home, and let me introduce you to all the best neotango, electro nuevo, alternative, and blues music. Dance at home, or close your eyes and let the music take you back to a neolonga somewhere. Perfect listening for late at night or on a lazy weekend afternoon.

Graham talks to Adrian and Christine (or should that be Christine and Adrian?) about the tango classes and events that they would normally be running every week, and finds out a few things about traditional tango music on the way.
Graham talks to Chris and Alison of Urban Tango Nights in Swansea about what they do in a normal year and what they have been doing in 2020 since the pandemic disrupted the whole of the dance world. Urban Tango Nights have found some creative solutions to dancing at a distance, including virtual teaching and milongas over zoom.
In the first of this new series of In Conversation programmes, Graham talks to John Howard of B.E.R.S.E.R.K. (Blues Enthusiasts Resident in the South East Region of Kent) about how the pandemic of 2020 has affected the dance world, and what they have been doing since the start of lockdown to stay connected.
Join me for a musical tour through a year that none of us expected. When 2020 began we had no idea that this would be the year when everything stopped, but as spring unfolded it soon became clear that any plans we had made would have to be put on hold. For each of us this time has been a very different experience, but despite that we have all been faced with very similar challenges. So whatever you are going through, hopefully this playlist will help us all feel a bit more connected.
