Playlist

The Fresh Air Music Team meets weekly to sort through the masses of music delivered to our front door, creating the freshest (pun intended) playlists around - check them out below.

If you would like to know more about making playlists and hear the newest music around we encourage you to join Fresh Air, and attend the music meetings. See more about getting involved here.

We try to play as much new and unsigned music as possible so if you would like to appear on the playlist, send any music to Head of Music, Fresh Air, c/o Societies’ Centre, 60 Pleasance, Edinburgh EH8 9TJ. Or email music@freshair.org.uk with your mp3s and myspace address.
