Mark Whitby

On my show this month:
In the month of Festive Fifty voting, we feature several artists who've appeared in the chart during the Dandelion years, including new albums from Goat, Honeyglaze, Public Service Broadcasting, Hinds and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. There's also what's become our traditional November look back at tracks from the Festive Fifty of forty years ago in our Peel Back... feature.

But of course it's not all about those acts long gathered into the Dandelion collective bosom. Relatively new discoveries also make an appearance, including Baby Schilaci, The Eurosuite, Chamberlain and Dog Unit. This year's featured compilation comes from the Jasmine label and there's more from their recently issued retrospective of the fabulous Dolly Cooper.

Biography:
My music-related activities over the years have been restricted to such peripheral activities as running a venue and attempting to manage a band to putting together radio shows variously named The A-Z of Punk, Idiot Jukebox and The Diamond Mine as well as masquerading as The Phantom Surfer to produce The History of Surf Music and unintentionally controversial hour-long documentary Surfin' East Kilbride, all of which have made appearances on various community radio stations over the years.

I'm the author of a book on John Peel's Festive Fifty called, with great imagination, The Festive Fifty and a novel that is nothing at all to do with music ... called Balls. I edited a fanzine called The Backdoor in the late eighties, fronted a band called The Beached Whales that never got round to gigging and played amplifier lead and slides with a band who'd rather I didn't make my association with them public. I have what I believe is a healthy contempt for music journalism (even when it's good) and believe the best way to start a band is to put four people who can't play in a room with some second hand instruments, don't feed 'em and don't let them out until they've produced something great. I've tried it on several occasions and no one's died yet.
