About Me

'The Lowdown' on Fresh Air, Edinburgh student radio:
The Lowdown IS BACK!
Thursdays
8 - 9 pm (GMT)
www.freshair.org.uk

My aim is to enlighten and entertain, with new/unknown bands as well as great album tracks.
I feature local bands (Edinburgh/Scotland/UK) that I think deserve more attention, so if you're in such a band and want to be heard, get in touch or send me stuff and I'll check you out. Small live/acoustic sets can also be arranged.
