On my show this month:
Brevi's got some exclusive tracks for you by Annie Gardiner , Hey Colossus and Abronia who are all releasing new albums this month as well as some tracks off very recent releases by Helicon and the infamous Macc Lads! They hung out with Half Man Half Biscuit but never ‘made it', got banned so often, they resorted to gigging off the back of a truck – and that was back in the 80's so how will they be received in 2026? Some acts seen at recent gigs playing this month also are: No Teeth , We Hate You Please Die and FAT CONCUBINE. Since certain beings and creations in this world get (or demand) way too much of our attention, there's a peppering of several bedroom, DIY artists that deserve some on this month's show as well, including looser and Bristol's Fairhorns, plus two tracks by The Birdwachers, a prolific two piece with bags of ideas and zero fears.

Biography:
My experience of the John Peel Show was limited to the last few years, yet much of the music he played before that found its way to me via friends or session releases I heard later. I would say that my main source of new music is through festivals and gigs I went to from the mid 90's onwards and recommendations from the lifelong friends who accompanied me or ones we met along the way.
Having been raised in west Wales, I saw Datblygu play regularly. The band I was in at the time was down to support them one night but Dave didn't make it to the gig as he was arrested so we never actually supported them but it's on the poster!
The Fall appeared in my life in 2000, The Unutterable was just released and I loved it, as well as pretty much everything old and new they did. It was soon after that that I began to comprehend music in a more deconstructed way as frequencies and rhythms which opened up the door to a world of great underground bands.
A lot of my spare time and money is spent on music and I'm so very proud to have been given a chance to share some of it on Dandelion Radio. I've been listening to the station for many years now and discovered some amazing stuff so I hope I can keep up at least.
I think we're all here for the same reason - to discover something new, inspiring and exciting, because that's what life is about.
