I had so many spooky sounding tracks I decided I had to bring you an extra Ambient Hour this month. This is the kind of music I listen to when the nights are that bit darker than usual.

Thanks as always to everyone who sends me their music to play, I love receiving it and bei...

It’s getting warmer outside, and maybe you like that… but maybe you’d like to feel a little colder. Maybe you’d like an hour of cool ambient sounds that hint at crips frosty mornings.
