On my show this month:
As the weather turns autumnal, there's no doubt that there are many great tracks ready to be plucked from the tree! Fortunately, this show sweeps up some ripe fruit and harvests enough goodies to make it a bumper three-hour feast.
LP of the month is from Lathe of Heaven and it's a cracker. An emotional moment at End of the Road Festival gives us this months "underappreciated, undervalued" band, C Turtle .
A great night at a Breakfast Records showcase, means Shrimp Eyes and Gut Health are included in the show. As well as new tracks by previous show favourites MadMadMad , University, Bratakus and Slow Crush .
Theres some noisy stuff from Mother Vulture , Snooper, Spaced, Rocket and Jehnny Beth . Some quieter moments from Margaret Glaspy and Ebbb. And a load of stuff somewhere in between from Dame Area , My First Time, Golden Toad, The 18th Parallel and Oslo Twins .
Enjoy the crop we have picked, enjoy the fruits of our labour. Whatever your musical taste you won't be hungry after this show!

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
