LISTEN TO DANDELION RADIO !

I have been presenting my own internet radio show on Live365 since January 2005 and am one of the DJs involved in the setting up of Dandelion Radio .Dandelion Radio is a fully licenced station inspired by the great and much-missed British BBC radio DJ John Peel . I was a Peel listener for 27 years and my musical tastes reflect this.Bands, Artists, ... send us your demos/promos to:Neil Jenkins

My Interests

Music, wine, cooking, physics and astronomy, Liverpool FC, reading, photography, the odd single malt, ....

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who offers to buy me a pint, or pour me a glass of wine!

Music:

I listened to John Peel for 27 years of my life. Doesn't that say it all?! If you're still in doubt, listen to my radio show on Dandelion Radio !

Movies:

I'm not a big film-goer (it's something I have to be in the mood for!). However, I can tell you that my fave film of all time is (probably) "Cinema Paradiso".

Television:

I'm a sucker for factual telly, in particular programmes about science, wine/food, antiques, etc. I also enjoy good comedies and a lot of "comedy quizzes", such as QI, Have I Got News For You, etc. What I don't like is the current trend on British telly to have people, many of which are celebrities, do stuff they wouldn't normally do and having the public vote regarding their fates. A big example of this is Big Brother. But don't get me started! ....

Books:

Current reads:
"Parallel Worlds: The Science Of Alternative Universes And Our Future In The Cosmos" by Michio Kaku.
"Bon AppÃ©tit! Travels Through France With A Knife, Fork And Corkscrew" by Peter Mayle.

Heroes:

John Peel
Bill Shankley
Bob Paisley
