Wildlife Discotheque...

came about when Soundart Radio co-founder Chris Booth ( DJ Wetherspoon ) suggested to Nathan Carter ( extrastereo ) and Tony Whitehead ( Radio Warblers ), who both have shows on the community radio station, that there might be interest in a club night that made good use of all the vinyl wildlife recordings we have between us.

These recordings had been gathered over many years from the overgrown, neglected and wilder corners of local charity shops, record fairs, and car boot sales. The discs plot a crackly history of nature sound and the pioneers who spent hours in the field with cumbersome gear and an ear for sound and song.
