One Big House

On my show this month:
Plenty of things to look forward to from 2026 and this show will play some of the artists for who we should be most excited namely Dog Race, My First Time, Sara Miller, Gut Health, Lael Neale and They Are Gutting a Body of Water.
To add to the optimism for a New Year there's a great LP of the month from Sharp Pins and some brilliant new stuff from The Savage Hearts, Spanish Horses, Vulture Feather, Modern Nature and Hater.
There are also tracks from upcoming album releases from Keeley, B.Dolan, Middleman and Surfbort
And for the whole of 2026 this show will look back at the first twenty years of Dandelion Radio and to start with there's a couple of blasts of guitar magic from Yuck and Alvvays.

Biography:
Like many teenagers in the late 70s and early 80s I was fascinated by the ever changing music and fashion culture of the UK. My interest sent me on a journey that has taken me through the usual places – weekly music papers, grotty music venues, even grottier record shops, MySpace, late night radio and of course John Peel.
My only limitations on how much culture I could pick up through my adult life were the obvious ones – time and money. As friends and relatives got older, they got busy with other things and left the path, some never to return. But I just kept on moving through a thankfully never-ending enlightenment that only music can bring you. I have been known to do some DJing. Always voted in the Festive 50, both with Peel and more recently with Dandelion Radio. I tried to play a bass guitar and also a keyboard for a while. Being honest, buying and listening to records was the only musical endeavour I was good with. Perhaps going to gigs as well!
After years of encouragement, I started onebighouse website. A chance to share views on some bands, a chance to let people see what they are missing, and ideally a shot in the arm for some hardworking venues. A chance to send someone else on a lifetimes journey they can enjoy
