Following the DJ debut of Colin Meloy, front man of the Decemberists on Good Friday, the Easter festivities continue on BBC Radio 6 Music this evening (Easter Monday) with a full program presented by the Unthanks.
Having raided the BBC archives for live sessions and concerts, the band will be presenting music from among others, Antony & The Johnsons, Portishead, Robert Wyatt and the Watersons. They have also delved into their own music collection so we can expect to hear stuff from Louis Armstrong, Eliza Carthy and PJ Harvey. There will also be a re-broadcast of 'Soup Songs' a documentary on the unconventional life and career of Robert Wyatt.
The Program beginning at 7.00 PM (BST) and lasting two hours sounds totally wonderful. The thing is I am abroad at the moment so may not be able to catch it.
Mental note made to self to hear it on catch up once I return to the UK.

Oh I should also add that the show will be followed by a repeat broadcast of a live session the Unthanks recorded for the BBC in February this year.
