Our Australian listeners may be as excited as we are to learn that Danish/Norwegian/German folk music band Heilung have announced three concerts in Oz (two in Melbourne and one in Sydney) in early 2023.

Goodbye Jon Shapiro... hello new UT presenter (maybe you?)

Jon Shapiro joined the UT production team in July 2009. His first broadcast was UT #769. This week, after more than thirteen years, he departs our shores with UT #1457. We thank him for his many years of excellent programming and wish him every success in his new life on the other side of the planet.

As one door closes another opens... and UT is now opening our door to a new team member.

We don't know who that will be yet - but we'd definitely like to hear from you if you think you might have what it takes to share your passion for ambient and related music with our global audience.

You don't need to be from Sydney, have prior radio experience or even possess a huge music collection.

It would be useful if you have some familiarity with audio recording software such as Audition, and possess a laptop and microphone of reasonable quality.

It would be highly desirable that you possess a passion for ambient music, and the discipline to produce a 90 minute show once every 8 weeks (approx 6 per year).

If that sounds like something you'd like to explore further, please email us at [email protected]

Just so everyone is clear, artists wanting to submit music to the UT team for us to consider for airplay no longer need to send us a CD in the post.

We are happy to download recordings these days - preferably via Bandcamp.

However we don't have the time to preview single tracks or demos, so please only send us complete albums.

The reason Ultima Thule was created 33+ years ago is because I heard "I'll Find My Way Home" by Jon Anderson and Vangelis playing on a cassette deck in a car owned by a friend at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga, in February 1985.

Vangelis literally changed my life.

Vangelis, composer of Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner soundtracks, dies aged 79 Greek composer topped US charts and won an Oscar with Chariots of Fire’s uplifting piano-led theme
