Episode 393: Eppyfest 11 – the final countdown

The Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show

This is the 393rd edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note the shows are large files. The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network (the show appears on Progzilla in alternate weeks). This show is the last one before EppyFest 11, happening over the weekend of 27th and 28th July, so this is my last chance to encourage you to buy your tickets for this event and I’ll also be announcing some changes to the line-up on the Sunday. We have a featured band/artist, as I’ll be playing three tracks from The Scaramanga Six/Paul Morricone throughout the course of the show, to celebrate that The Scaramanga Six will be delivering a set on the Saturday of the festival (27th of July). In addition, you can expect a typically excellent and eclectic range of music, from a mixture of EppyFest and non-EppyFest acts. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.
