Hi guys, ok, couple of things...
Firstly i went to see the Doves lastnight, it was like your mates have come back from going away travelling for ten years, so good to see them, and can't wait til they have new stuff out. Secondly, how amazing is it that Elbow have won the Mercury music prize, i can't say how happy i am for them. They really are the loveliest men in the music business and The Seldom Seen Kid is a cracking album. Take it from me, it couldn't happen to a nicer band.
In any other business, i am currently half way through the graphic novel, Watchmen, which i am re-reading and can't wait for the film. I have also just got back from judges houses for the X factor and on the way back I saw the new Ben Affleck film, Gone Baby Gone - brilliant!
I am off to my mate Lauren's kids Christening tonight and then off to spend the weekend with mama and papa O'Leary.
Keep well. Dermot x

My Interests

If you have a CD you want Dermot to hear, then please send it to:

Ben The Producer, Dermot O'Leary Show, BBC Radio 2, London, W1A1AA

...but keep in mind:

1. We get sent hundreds of CDs a week

2. 80% are awful

3. 95% are not suitable for daytime national radio

4. We can't offer feedback. If we like it we'll play it on air

5. It is best to send just one track, not a whole album.

6. Just because you are Irish, doesn't mean that Dermot will play it

7. Please don't use those envelopes which spray grey padding everyone when opened

I'd like to meet:

Sept 20 Athlete & Mercury Rev

Sept 27 Katy Perry & Estelle

Oct 4 Sugababes & Sam Roberts
