Got some live music for you this week people. Thanks to Dave Dawson from Radio Nova Lujon who recorded the day we can present sets from Ghost Music, Plantman, Dead Coast and Wobbly Lamps on the Polyvinyl Craftsmen Stage at this year's Village Green Festival.
Relive the day if you were there and experience some cracking live bands if you missed out. Download the whole shebang here.
We've got s guest mix this week from some fellow Essex types - Weirdgear. They've been good enough to plug our shows through their network of electronic mates so we thought we'd reciprocate.
If you like what you hear you can catch more of their mixes along with some of their own electronic music at the links below. I've been listening and thoroughly enjoying their stuff.

Happy Friday folks, here's this week's blast of PVC. Laggers had to hand in a sick note due to a dodgy tummy so Coop and Miggins played some songs for him. There's a mystery song that we were very surprised Laggers asked for, it's not in the track listing so you'll have to listen. Enjoy the selection and the weekend.
We're back after a skip week where we rocked the Village Green Festival in Southend with a cracking line up of bands interspersed with us spinning some vinyl. A jolly good and sweaty time all round, thanks if you came along.
We've got a right old mix of records for you to enjoy in #97, something for everyone we reckon. If there's nothing ya dig you're in the wrong place!
This Saturday (13th) thee Polyvinyl Craftsmen will be hosting a stage at the Village Green Festival in Chalkwell Park, Southend on Sea. We'll be in the Village Hall which is situated in the Park View Suites.
We are spinning vinyl all day between bands starting at 11.30. Organizers Metal have booked the bands for the earlier part of the day and then from 4.00pm we take over.
Here is our line-up:
4.00-4.30 Ghost Music
2 lo-fi guitars and some Mo Tucker inspired rhythms, influenced by Silver Jews, Flying Nun and K Records. Ghost Music’s bitter sweet moments will soundtrack your Indian summer.
Described as 'making Field Mice sound like Modest Mouse' by The Guardian's Paul Lester,Plantman are singer/songwriter Matt Randall with Adam Radmall and Bryan Styles.
Previously members of psychedelic shoegaze band Beatglider,Plantman formed in 2009 with a love of The Go Betweens,Durutti Column,mixtapes and trebly guitars.
After releasing the limited edition debut album ‘Closer to the snow’ in 2010, Plantman returned in early 2013 to critical acclaim with the release of the melancholic ‘Whispering Trees’.
The band’s music is so captivating especially the melody in each track. This is a band you must check out if you like retro psychedelic garage rock.( The Musical Junkie).
The sound is reminiscent to the swinging ’60s, with easy comparisons to a heavier and more hallucinogenic version of The Beatles in their early days (Bring the Noise UK).
Their music would work perfectly as a soundtrack to a Quentin Tarantino film, with a laid-back quality that cruised from one song to the next, in a locomotion that emulated the movement of waves. They would be well worth checking out if you’re a fan at all of your quintessential surf rock bands of the 60s or similar new age acts such as The Growlers (SeeSound.co.uk).
Southend-based Wobbly Lamps play trippy garage rock, full of reverb and distortion. They have released two 7” EPs in the last year which have found their way into discerning record boxes around the globe and picked up plenty of airplay across the US and Europe. Their last record was played heavily by Gideon Coe on BBC 6Music who said . "I like this very much, look forward to playing it again! ". Paul Lagden - Guitar, Lee Hall - Guitar, Gareth Thomas – Vox, Zoë Howe – Drums, Derek Pitt – Bass
Lots of booze flowing in this week's show, we've got drunken mumbling, badly pronounced band names and buzzing equipment. A classic! And the music ain't bad either, get your ears round it.
Different player and download this week as Divshare is down for maintenance, once they've finished I'll replace with the regular ones. Unless you prefer the Mevio player and download, lemme know.
