The Dunedin Sound with Ian Chapman

Ian Chapman's book The Dunedin Sound: Some Disenchanted Evening has recently been published to ecstatic critical praise, and he joined us this week to put some of that famed sound across Radio One's airwaves. The book itself is a worthy tome, packed with many previously unpublished images alongside ponderings on the nature of 'The Dunedin Sound' from a variety of contributors.

You can find a copy in local bookshops such as Paper Plus and the University Book shop, or get one from here.
