2011 has been the first year of The Golden Apples of the Sun Radio Show, the year of our virginity, a year where we explored and discovered together many different sounds from many different places. One of our most exciting discoveries has been the artist Sproaty Smith from Hereford in the UK. One of the finest purveyors of folk and psych playing it just how we like it, and although they have four studio albums, Sproatly Smith have only had their own first ever live gig this year. Here for you through the wonders of The Interweb and coming from the cold short dark winter days of Herefordshire Sproatly Smith have prepared a full 80 minute mix of some of the music they like, music that inspires them and music they would like to inspire the Golden Apples listeners with. Sproaty Smith have also just re-released their ‘Christmas’ album – it’s called ‘Carols From Hereford’ and is a limited edition run at Reverb Worship and there are only 50 copies – and only about 40 left according to Roger Linney – and while you are there check out some of the Sproatly Smith reviews and the other great Reverb Worship Limited Editions – all out there stuff. Here at the Golden Apples we just enjoy the music but Sproatly Smith are certainly receiving some high praise. Jeanette Leech author of Seasons They Change and Folk Us Reviewer at Shindig has just given the new album ‘The Minstrel’s Grave’ a great review!!! – well apparently – as I still get my Shindig via Royal Mail.
You can stream the show here – the Playlist is below
Also for use with your favourite listening device we have uploaded the Golden Apples Sproatly Smith Mix at 320kbps high quality– without the breaks and that annoying voice of Claude Mono trying to keep the show together.

“…We’re looking for material…”
“…Inspired by the launch of Simon Costin’s touring Museum of British Folklore, Britannica showcases rare archive footage of the age-old but oft-forgot traditions of the Sceptred Isle that form the crux of this unique new venture”…
Rites and Rituals is a short film that includes all that is wyrd and wonderful including scenes of “Cheese Rolling” the favoured spectator sport of the Golden Apples Collective.
