Festive Freakiness
Penny and Rose from The Surround, a collective of emerging composers talk about their annual Christmas compilation and there’s much musical merriment from the margins.
Penny and Rose from The Surround, a collective of emerging composers talk about their annual Christmas compilation. Formed in South London as a space for musicians and artists to perform new work, The Surround encourages creation by setting a call for work made in one day, that is no longer than six minutes and themed around Christmas - interpret as you will.
Stuart plays several tracks from the folk-singing family band The Waterson’s Frost and Fire as his featured album; middle-eastern psych band Khruangbin cover Christmas Time Is Here from Charlie Brown’s Christmas Special and Kate Bush’s often overlooked album Fifty Words For Snow gets a spin.
