On my show this month:
This month I am throwing a spotlight on Leigh Folk Festival which takes place from the 26th-28th June near my hometown, highlighting some of my recommendations including Georgia Shackleton, Diana Collier, Masal, Hedgeriders and The Gentle Good. I also have some tasty new releases including London punks Joe Plastic and Lincoln legend Tapenoise, and an incendiary opener from French free jazz flute rockers Nout ahead of their UK tour dates.
On the show NEXT month:
Well it's the height of summer and the mercury is soaring so we have a track inspired by the traditional sounds of New Mexico from Lone Piñon, a charming song about a Bee from and the Native Hipsters, a couple of slabs of pure catharsis from YOUFF and TRAS (angry folks always use caps) and some mellow vibes from Max Lachowicz and Foel. There's also a little mention of global warming from Satoyama but it's so beautiful and cooling you won't mind at all. Add to that my new feature 'Two tracks from local bands' which is just a label for something I've been doing all along, and I'll think you'll find we have everything we need for an hour in each other's company.

Biography:
I have been organising gigs in my local area and beyond for thirty years, and since uni have hosted a string of radio shows. I am passionate about strange music which
doesn't fit neatly in boxes and am a founding member of Culture as a Dare which was a live show, radio show, and then under COVID a series of YouTube festivals. We ran for approximately 15 years until ill health grounded me somewhat.
I am also a musician and I have appeared in the Festive 50 ( a good few years ago), I have played in folk bands, indie pop ensembles, experimental soundtracking projects and an electronic noise band as well as studying jazz and classical. I worked as a music teacher and usually curate a stage at Leigh Folk Festival.
I will play anything which surprises and delights me.
