About Me


deXter Bentley - Broadcaster/Promoter/Performer
The 'Hello Goodbye' show is broadcast every Saturday lunchtime between noon and 1.30pm (GMT) on London's premier community arts radio station Resonance 104.4 FM.
If there is a general ethos to the show it is to champion the unsung heroes of the underground music scene: those marginalised & unclassifiable mavericks who might otherwise find themselves with little or no exposure elsewhere. With a distinct leaning towards people of a DIY disposition, dB are proud to be witnessing a whole host of former guests starting to move onwards and upwards. Having said that, the show is not averse to an occasional appearance by already established musical pioneers. A visit from folk legends Pete and Peggy Seeger was a particularly memorable case in point.
With five year olds among the presenters and the age of guests ranging from 16 to 86, the show has no door policy or dress code...if you have something to say and are striving for something unique then you will definitely be welcome on Resonance 104.4 FM every Saturday on the deXter Bentley Hello Goodbye show.
You can listen-in online at www.resonancefm.com
deXter Bentley / performer; with blues and folk the closest reference points musically - though sung with a distinct English twang. Their debut album "In Order Alphabetical" is a great big selection box of lovely treats - at one extreme there is the pared-down rhythmic chant of "Cry Now", with its thrilling, booming group vocal lines, and at the other there is "Fishtank", a gorgeous drone track that sounds like an acoustic My Bloody Valentine. In between there are all the harmoniums, kazoos, toy accordions and agitated Scottish poets that one could wish for.
dB's debut album 'In Order Alphabetical' can also be purchased through iTunes from this link:
