About Me

please read first:
If you want me to hear your songs, can you please email a myspace address to me here: [email protected] , subject line "NEW MUSIC" ? ta. It needs to be that subject so I can search for it. Please don't send mp3s, it'll clog up my inbox. The breakfasty nature of my show means I probably can't play you on the radio. Sorry.
Please don't email through here or post me asking me to listen or play your stuff on air -it will only make you look like a moron who hasn't even bothered to read my profile. I'm just saying this because people still do about once a day.
In fact, if you want to get in touch at all, please email me at work . Thanks.
About me:
I do a radio show on Saturday (6-10am) and Sundays (10am-2pm) here: www.xfm.co.uk
I became so obsessed with the music of Sam Isaac , that I am now co-managing him. I honestly never had even the faintest interest in management, so you can imagine how good he must be. If you want to hear for sure, go and have a listen .
I co-run the Huckster Club bands night @ The Fly (NOTE NEW VENUE!).
If you'd like the above blogs straight into your inbox every week, click here
Tubelord are fucking amazing.
I think this "About Me" makes me sound a bit mean, but I'm not sure what to do about that.
...finally please go and have a wee look at the profile of whoever's song I've got playing on the page. I'm very particular with my choices, so I think they're well worth having a look at.

subjectless mailer 1st June on 2008

Hi Chaps, Another week, another bunch of hecticness that means this is out late. Although, as I've still not settled on an offical day to send the mailer, "late" is currently a philosophical concept i...

scrimping mailer, 24/25th May, 2008

Hi Chaps,   I am running out the door to go to Edinburgh for a few days, but really wanted to get this sent. As such, I have had to stunt some of the gig previews. So, even though the list of a...

taking it on the chin mailer, 17/18th May 2008

Hello,I have written the bulk of today's mailer whilst sat on the ex-sofa of my friend Sophie, while she cleans the flat she is moving out of. We've spent the day moving her stuff, and later we have t...

time dilemma mailer 10th/11th May, 2008

Hi chaps,   So, I am in a bit of a dilemma re the mailer timing: I used to do it on a Sunday, after the show, having done a bunch of it on the Sat before. Now the Sunday s...

healthy mailer 3/4th May 2008

Hi Chaps,   So, I actually wrote 95% of the mailer yesterday, but *just didn't have time to finish and send it before I went out (to a comedy club, report next week). But I had wanted to sta...

achey mailer 26/27th April 2008

Hi!   So, I am back! from holiday. I saw my (English) brother marry his (Japanese) Han in a (Sri Lankan) mudhouse. It was pretty awesome. As you can see, the bride looked ravishing, the...

Pre-holiday mailer 12/13th April 2008

Hello!   So, the new show (The Sunday Roast, Sundays 10am-2pm on Xfm) kindof eats into my mailer-writing time. Hopefully I'll come up with some sort of a system soon... In the meantime, I anti...

Understandably late mailer, 5/6th April 2008

Hi chaps,I am, again, your tardy friend. I have a half decent excuse this time: as of Sunday, I started a new show on Xfm. I’m still doing Saturday 6-10am, but now Sundays have moved to 10am-2...

pretty full, actually, mailer 29/30th March 2008

Hi Chaps,   So, this was the first weekend in ages where I stayed in both nights, went to the gym both days, and generally got back into a routine I’d slipped out of. I don’t know...

EASTER mailer 22nd/23rd March 2008

Hello!   Happy Easter. I am more than a little sleepy, after a combination of over-excited staying up too late, and pesky reverse insomnia. If the odd sentence seems a bit weird, then sorry ab...
