There is no show from Brevi Linens this month
On the show NEXT month:
It was the first night in November. I remember being indifferent about heading out to a gig in Bristol after being let down by some recent live shows (not the acts specifically but the PA systems being turned down – this is a thing now). I felt old and defeated by the persistent commercial spray that sterilises our precious culture. However, it was Prolapse that were to perform on this night, and they were there to do what so many good bands have done in the past; smash that feeling of despair out of us in the face of bad times. There was a firing of atoms, a bonding of elements and my energy and mettle was restored! It was that and a chance meeting with Rocker of Dandelion Radio there that sewed the seed of taking a role in sharing the valuable energy of music. I got to work and, thanks to the Dandelion team, here is my demo / debut show to introduce myself. I sincerely hope you get something good out of it!

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.
