On my show this month:
This month's show features the return of The Sinatra Test in session and a featured compilation from the Artafact label. Following our inability last month to preview this year's Green Man festival in any meaningful way, we do include releases from a bunch of featured acts, including Snapped Ankles, Shame and Fontaines DC, subject to a masterful reworking from Dave Clarke.
There are new releases from Black Dice, Los Blancos, Jangly Mark and Dead Bambies and we Peel Back... to classic session tracks broadcast forty, thirty and twenty years ago this month.

On the show NEXT month:
The wonderful Diane Marie Kloba returns with another exclusive session this month. We've also got two featured compilations, one each from the House of Beauty and Thomas Imposter labels and a load of new releases, including tracks from new albums by Mood Taeg, Zoom Unit and Aries Death Cult.
Among other releases, we've also got a new single from Lossline plus, as you'd expect, a preview of the much anticipated debut from Yard Act and more from the new Amyl & The Sniffers album while Peel Back... takes us back to October shows in 1981, 1991 and 2001 and we say a sad farewell to legends Lee "Scratch" Perry and Michael Chapman.

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. 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.
