shows // Ghosts in the Machine

rocknroll // indie // comedy // experimental // world AddThis

The host of Night-Time Tales returns with a new show that bears almost no resemblance to it. Two flatmates get together to make a show that is completely unscripted and largely unplanned. Only the casual whims of its presenters and changing moods of the show will dictate what happens. Therefore, we'll be producing for you what will be, effectively, different shows each week.

Don't miss music's back-catalog being stretched to breaking point in regular feature Alphabeat.

Be enthralled by the mesmorising conversation of part-time after-dinner speaker and part-time trombone student, Evan Wilder.

And bow down to the musings of in-house philosopher, Jaque de'Avison, as he contemplates just what has happened here.

You may vene want to tempt the world's boldest (and most deluded) individual out of retirement with a challenge to a task of your choosing in Challenge Dave. Be ready to ... almost certainly win.

There will be music, chat, and whetever games and merriment spring to mind.

follow up on evan wilder!

Evan Wilder, a man described as both a 'stallion' and a 'newspaper boy' in equal measure had our listeners enthralled last week. What will he have to say next week!? Tune in on Tuesday to find out.

ghosts in the machine christmas special? cracking!

Ghosts in the Machine // 15.12.09

That's right it's that time of the year again when Ghosts in the Machine spread a little Christmas cheer... well... most of us anyway. Lets hope when Challenge Dave and Jaque de'Avison meet for the "Christmas Cracker Challenge" things don't turn too sour. So make sure you have your feet up, a warm glass of mulled wine (its early in the day but so be it), your radio turned up, and listen to some festive merriment coming in your ears.

This week on 'Challenge Dave', Luke Healey, contemporary artist, has challeneged Dave, contemporary artist, to an art-based challenge in no way contemporary.

That's right, this week the Hosts in the machine will be reprising long-gone daytime show Watercolour Challenge. Healey has waxed soluble about Dave's inability to 'keep within the lines.'

Dave will be given only ten minutes to paint, by numbers, in watercolour, a classic bowl of fruit, without straying outside of the lines.

Can he do it? He says so.
