Rocker

On my show this month:
A two hour show from Rocker this month, including new tracks from Wreckless Eric, Cult Figures, Soft Play; Jeanines; Crabber; The Guy Hamper Trio; Teenage Fanclub; Mt. Misery; Wandering Summer; Swansea Sound; and Sissy Space Echo & The Invisible Collaborators.
There's electronica from Solee; Kadosh; and a collaboration between Marc Romboy, Dimitri Andreas, and Marlene Schuen.
There's a track from the amazing new album by Paul Rooney; a dub version of a Hollie Cook song; and The Feelies cover The Velvet Underground.
This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a 1929 comedy foxtrot out of London, which was years later covered by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah band. There's also a newly released track from the archives of Bonzos' frontman Vivian Stanshall.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: The historic opening track of this month's show was recorded in Manchester's Free Trade Hall, the facade of which still stands, as part of the Radisson Edwardian Hotel, the setting for Paul Rooney's track 'Dear Guest', which is played later in the show.

Biography:
I am proud to be a DJ for dandelionradio.com - as far as we know we are the only radio station inspired by John Peel - I was a Peel listener from 1976 to 2004 and it was his open minded attutude to different genres that has shaped my own tastes. It is a great buzz to be carrying on the great man's work and bringing previously unknown artists to the attention of our listeners.

As well as my radio DJing I have been known to drag my crates around the UK - I currently hold DJ residencies at monthly indiepop nights Sunny Inside Presents in Stoke-on-Trent and Big Pink Cake in Bristol, as well as co-promoting and DJing at Bristol's monthly vinyl-only Northern Soul night, Getting Together. I have also appeared as guest DJ at some of London's finest indie nights: Twee As Fuck; How Does It Feel To Be Loved; Lost Music Presents; and Scared To Dance.

I run eclectic CD-R label Local Underground, and am promoter and resident DJ for related gigs & events as Local Underground Presents. I also play out a progressive house set as B_Man - you can download some old mixes here. In the Bristol, UK area I have DJd for Manna parties as well as Empathy, and Voodoo nights. My ambient / chillout / dub reggae / punk / soundtracks / psychedelia sets are also much in demand in certain (crop) circles. Over the years I have also been known to play keyboards / drums in various ensembles. I record most of the bands' sessions for my show in my recording studio, StAR Studios, which, like me, has a busy schedule!

You can find me on MySpace here, and on Facebook here!
