Dundee Radio Club: 48-Hour Listening Festival

Tune in for Dundee Radio Club’s first broadcast!


Inspired by listening practices happening elsewhere, Dundee Radio Club is a pilot project for sonic attunement in Dundee – a community radio station for listening together, sharing sounds and opening ears. Following a hugely successful open call for material, they’re now ready for their first digital broadcast taking the form of a 48-hour listening festival between Fri 7 and Sun 9 February.

With more than 80 contributors from across the globe alongside familiar Dundee names – including Hot Chocolate Trust, Sîon Parkinson, Le Freak Records, Erin Farley, Creative Chit Chat, Sean Wheelan and more – they’ve collated a hugely varied programme for listeners to enjoy.

The 48-hours will explore themes and topics including animal infrasound, the Atacama Desert in Chile, the chaos and calm of seasonality in Georgia, heckling and its surprisingly soothing links to Dundee and civic strength, a good representation of sonic sci-fi, choral contributions, and original music and mixes from bands, musicians and djs based in and around Dundee.

Listeners can join Dundee Radio Club in-person for a special launch at Volk Gallery from 1pm on Fri 7 February with the opportunity to vend a Dundee Radio Club membership pack. Reminiscent of 90s magazine clubs, it’s comprised of everything you’ll need to enhance your festival listening experience; a set of limited edition sonic postcards, badges, posters and more!  


This collaboration between curator and producer Becca Clark and sound artist, musician and producer Su Shaw was made possible through our Amps network’s Community Ideas Fund.
