On my show this month:
Several Peel favourites cram their way into this month show. There's something from the new Cathal Coughlan album, something else from Arab Strap, a locked down version of a much loved tune from The Wedding Present and something from yet another of those very welcome live releases featuring The Fall.
This month's featured compilation is a cracking Soul Jazz collection of rocksteady gems; there's an opportunity to hear half of the new Blanck Mass opus, new releases from Low Altitude, Bandicoot and Fatherfigures, plus classic reissues of Faye Adams and Memphis Minnie.
And of course Peel Back... takes us back into the mists of yesteryear too, or more specifically to memories from the Peel shows of April 1981, 1991 and 2001.

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.
