Shovel Dance Collective has been played over 10 times on NTS, first on 5 April 2020. Shovel Dance Collective's music has been featured on 12 episodes.

Nurturing a passion for the folk musics of the British Isles and Ireland with experimental tendencies, they explore the ways in which traditional music holds queer histories, proto-feminist narratives and the voices of working people. They are simultaneously traditional and experimental, seeing folk music as a living communal activity, inviting and generous to those it speaks to.
