WholeWorldBand app is an interactive tool for iPhone 4/4s and iPad2 created by former 10CC man (and director of Gavin’s ‘Able’ video) Kevin Godley and Andy Wood of Hypergallery and Cubic Motion.

The app lets you create music with other musicians and music fans around the world in both sound and pictures. WholeWorldBand app will be available to download from the iTunes store from March 2012.

Musicians and music fans from all over the world will be able to contribute and combine a selection of video performances, including their own, from the WholeWorldBand library to create their own favourite band line-up. And they will also have the opportunity to earn money from their performance.

Kevin Godley said “WholeWorldBand is a revolutionary new online music tool that provides a new platform for distribution while offering the opportunity of new revenue streams for up and coming and established musicians and bands and, in fact, anyone.”

More will be revealed shortly on www.wholeworldband.com. You can follow the app on Twitter and Facebook.

The complete show will be repeated on Saturday, January 14th at 1.55pm.

Raoul Heertje: “Friday is a real artist in my opinion, someone who does what he thinks has to be done. He is completely autonomous and I get the impression he nurses his talent carefully. Woody Allen once said all his work is about love, sex and death. I think Friday’s the same. He deals with big, intense subjects. I dig that.”

Previous guests on the show include the director David Lynch, the economist Jeffrey Sachs, the writer Isabel Allende and musicians Iggy Pop and Antony.

Winter Guests (Wintergasten) is the international version of Dutch broadcaster VPRO’s successful format Summer Guests (Zomergasten). The program features a renowned guest who shows and talks about his or her favorite television and film clips, and about his or her work and life.

New Dublin Voices will take to the stage again to perform some contemporary classics, preparing the way for two of Ireland’s most exciting bands: I Draw Slow and Prison Love.

I Draw Slow is a five-piece group comprised of vocals, guitar, fiddle, banjo and double bass. The five have created a new sound, rooted in the old time style of the Appalachian Mountains. Drawing on Irish traditional music and modern Americana, they tell dark tales of debauchery and trouble.
Prison Love formed late one night round a campfire in a field just the other side of Dunmore East in 2001. Their passion for bluegrass, old-time, gospel and Cajun music has been enjoyed at major festivals all across the country, Europe and in the US.
