Mark Cunliffe

On my show this month:
As I gear up to sell my limited edition lesser spotted Birdie Dance 7" by The Tweets at the Biggleswade Antiques Fair what can I palm off onto the unsuspecting listener this month????
Sinjin Hawke has got a duff maze trinket, stuff Ed Tudor Pole ... Ben Kei is interfering with the Amazon, the fall out of which has The Lovely Eggs reaching for the antihistamines. Sleaford Mods has overdone the Senokot so it has curtailed him doing what Shaggy is up to all the time ... obviously life starts at 40 .... I have to say, there is a magnificent session from the old Peel favourite Chris T-T. It is his WHOLE SET recorded at The Victoria Inn in Derby last December. If it was an Antique, it'd be priceless ...

Biography:
I got into DJ-ing after I became disillusioned with my previous job. It involved doing tests on monkeys and I resigned after Chong failed his GCSE woodwork re-sit. Well….maybe not….

Music has been a big part of my life since I was a littlun. As a teenager I was kinda blinkered in my tastes, liking what I wanted to like. If you’ve heard MJ Hibbert’s song “The Lesson Of The Smiths”, yep, that was me….just a little bit.

A bit older and wiser I slowly started to learn “The Lesson” and then…..I became ill….and d’ya know what, one of the symptoms of my illness was acutely hypersensitive ears….bugger, no music….it didn’t last just a few weeks neither. Recovering, I had a lot of time on my hands and started to listen to John Peel, something I’d done in the past but this time, it was SERIOUS. I never missed a second. John broadened my musical taste in a way no one else could have. He fuelled my passion for music, which had already significantly increased after been starved of music due to my illness. He fuelled it more and more and more with every show.

Since John’s death I seem to have increased the amount of music I listen to, further. It just seemed logical to do something with all the music I was buying so I purchased a (very!) cheap CDJ machine. This lead to me starting Rhubarb Radio on Live 365 in May 2007. I play a selection from genres like: Dubstep, Indie/Alternative, Hip Hop, Grime, Techno, Electronica, Punk, World Music, Desi Beats, Dancehall, Reggae, Drum & Bass and anything else that sounds interesting/different/entertaining/surprising and just downright good!!

Shortly after beginning Rhubarb Radio I sent a demo show to Dandelion Radio and here I am, typing my mini-biography as a Dandelion Radio DJ.

Thank you Dandelion

Other interests? Well, I dabbled in stand-up comedy in my final year of university. I did about ten gigs but stopped to join a dodgy indie band, the third of three bands I have been in. We scaled the heights of No.22 in the Melody Maker Indie Charts before splitting up in real rock ‘n’ roll fashion…..sitting having coffee in a Art House cinema’s cafe! Please send demos (in absolutely ANY genre of music) to: Mark Cunliffe c/o Dandelion Radio PO BOX 54918 London W3 6ZS United Kingdom
