GHOST BOX HAUNT THE GREENMAN AGAIN

Ghost Box will be putting in an appearance at this year's Greenman Festival in South Wales. On the afternoon of Friday 15th. Jim Jupp and Julian House will be Disk Jockeying between talks in the Talking Shop tent. The set will precede a rare and exciting  interview with Shirley Collins. So the serenely summery mix of electronics, psychedelia and soundtrack will have distinctly folky flavour. (Folk Militants please note: Its not quite what's billed on the GM website !).


Also in the cinedrome tent (screening time TBA) you can see The Ghost Box Retrospective film, commissioned by the London Short Film festival earlier this year for the ICA.

Finally Ghost Box will be playing a show on Greenman Radio ( 87.7FM ) at 1pm on Sunday. 
Don't forget your transistor radio.

UPDATE 13/08/14: There'll be an extra slot for the Ghost Box DJs at 3-ish on Sunday afternoon in the Talking Shop to open for the mighty Gruff Rhys.
And the Ghost Box film retrospective will be screened at some point on Friday night (we think).

OTHER VOICES 02 - THE LISTENING CENTER


New York's Listening Center returns to Ghost Box in September with another single. The second in the Other Voices series, in which David Mason puts his analogue electronics to work on two powerfully melodic pieces. Drawing on the classic library-esque, music for schools and colleges sounds that inspired Ghost Box at its very beginning.

Available on a super heavyweight little chunk of vinyl or on download on 17th September. Pre-order now at the Ghost Box shop.
