Thomas Blatchford

On my show this month:
This month's show starts with a French incantation and ends with a woodwind collective, so who knows where it'll go in the meantime?
Well, you will, once you listen to it.
There's righteous fury from Commitment, Euniq and [artistGrove/artist], a glimpse into Peel sessions past from The Twinsets, a warm dip into Uriel's Bath (recently drawn) and the literal sound of some starlings at Heathrow airport.
Plus new gorgeousness from The Leaf Library, Waterbaby, DJ Chad and the like.

On the show NEXT month:
You don't have to know how many computer crashes went into the making of this month's hour of power but regardless your host is very grateful to be here with so many hot new humdingers!
This show features a couple of sex-based horror stories from Twat Union and Hetslayer, deadly new hits from Miss Kaninna and Famili, a dip into Scottish independent pop past thanks to Cherry Red, and future classics from Xiao Xiao, Public Figures, Nondi_, Season 2 and more.

Biography:

Thomas Blatchford was born in Southampton (UK) but has now lived for over a decade in Birraranga (aka Melbourne, Australia). An avid listener to the John Peel show between 2000-2004 (first show: May 3rd 2000, with Kid Koala in session), Thomas tries to make up for the disappointment of never having a Peel session by always being in at least five bands simultaneously (which currently includes - genuinely - an acappella glam metal trio). Thomas previously ran the bedroom record label Fulsome Prism Recordings, and was also involved with another DIY imprint, Helen Llewelyn Product Nineteen, way back when. Thomas still occasionally makes fanzines even though it is no longer 1981, and works in a discount bookshop to make ends meet.
