The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 18.05.12

Matthew Whiteside makes his debut as a co-host. He makes a change from Vile, actually knowing about music and being able to articulate intelligent opinions clearly...

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 11.05.12

Vile displays his ignorance once again, as he learns about Roller Derby, the latest releases and sounds (courtesy of Alan Millar from RPZ) and the relationship between soul and breakin' ahead of Breakin' Convention 2012...

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 25.05.12

After an interview with John Osbourne - who is coming back to the Edinburgh Fringe with John Peel's Shed - Vile tries to capture the spirit of the great DJ by making a mess of everything. He talks to the Electric String Quartet in advance of their opening show at the Oran Mor, and gets over-excited by records he has found in the office. Again.

rare indeed!

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 04.05.12

A presenter who not only knows their stuff, but can talk about it in an intelligent and accessible manner?

Of course, the VileArts has a guest this week - Hiftu Quasem, from Bollywood Box (http://www.subcity.org/shows/bollywoodbox/) helps Vile out with some musical cuts and a quick conversation about Bollywood's history and her new show's vision.

This is followed by a trip back to the early 1980s - musically at least - and a visit to the art in The Arches' basement, Marcus Roche talking of Mayfesto and a visit from future co-host and composer Matthew. a realatively quiet week, then: but where is Producer Harry?

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 13.04.12

Vile's shambolic organisation and presentation style has always been rescued by the quality of his guests: as Producer Harry has often noted, it's a testament to the generosity of the art scenes that they are willing to come on and give the Radio Hour some class.

Kicking off with a special interview with Scottish Ballet's choreographer, chatting with Howie Reeve about his many projects, calling up Svend Brown to find out about minimal extreme, the show descends to chaos as 85a arrive to talk about their wonder extended cinema project...
