York Festive Roadshow

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie take their annual festive roadshow to the city of York!

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie take their annual festive roadshow to the city of York this year! Broadcasting from their special radio grotto based somewhere within the Christmas Markets, they'll be joined by the likes of Maximo Park's Paul Smith, Heaven 17's Glenn Gregory, writer Kate Atkinson (whose debut best-selling novel Behind the Scenes at The Museum was based in York), Shed Seven singer and York music scene stalwart Rick Witter, plus live music from folk singer Eliza Carthy and melodian player Saul Rose, and The Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon, and art-rock brothers David and Peter Brewis of Field Music drop by to sing us a festive tune with their 4-part harmony folky popster backing band The Cornshed Sisters. Plus there'll be visitors in Viking form from the Jorvik Viking Centre and someone on hand to tell us all about York's marvellous chocolate factory. All this - and the usual festive gubbins from Mark and Stuart - to bring a sprinkle of musical festive cheer to your radio this afternoon.
