Catch the show online Friday’s between 8-9pm (local time)/1-2am GMT. You can see what was played each week on Twee Time’s playlists. Our thanks to DJ Stephanie!
Happy New Year to you all. We start off 2013 in fine style with the radio show Twee Is The Heavenly Option presented by DJ Hannah. The Hi-Life Companion were played on an earlier edition of the show, so we were choughed to bits to appear on the last episode of the show for 2012 (episode 8). Special thanks to Hannah for her lovely comments on our album…You’re The Greatest! You can find the show here on Mixcloud – also featuring songs from Acid House Kings, Standard Fare, Belle & Sebastian, Yo La Tengo and Suburban Kids With Biblical Names amongst others.
