On my show this month:
A bumper January set of releases means there's three hours in the One Big House show for February. The show features brilliant new tracks from Sleaford Mods , Chalk, Another Country $$$$ , Surfbort , Prostitute and Craven Faults .
Having witnessed an outstanding gig by Dry Cleaning just prior to recording the show, their latest LP, Secret Love, purchased from them at that gig (it's the way forward), is the LP of the month.
Our optimism for the year ahead continues with brilliant tracks from upcoming album releases from Mandy, Indiana , Alice Costelloe , Lowmoon, Kim Gordon and Vona Vella
And this show continues to celebrate the first twenty years of Dandelion Radio. From 2007 and 2013 respectively there's absolute bangers from Battles and Public Service Broadcasting .

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
