On my show this month:
Four hours and 48 tunes from Leo for March. New songs from relatively famous names like Sleaford Mods , Public Image Ltd, Gilla Band , Clark and Belle & Sebastian , along with lots of names that might be new to you. How about these? Juni Habel, Pavel Milyakov , En Attendant Ana , Iñigo Vontier and United Freedom Collective. Leo also marks the ten-year anniversary of My Bloody Valentine 's most recent album and has a message from the Christian Love Forum on Marriage With An Unbeliever. Whatever your musical preferences, Leo's show will surprise and delight you in equal measure. Don't miss it!
On the show NEXT month:
Another huge swagbag of music from Leo for April – and again a show that a source close to Leo describes as "one of his best ever shows". Four hours of tunes from familiar favourites such as Sleaford Mods , Belle and Sebastian, Billy Nomates and James Holden , as well as newer names like Nuha Ruby Ra , Roger Damawuzan , Cru Servers and Evelyn Palace. Leo also obsesses over the new album by Irish band First Class and Coach. Listen in and you will soon know why.

Biography:
I am in many ways your typical John Peel fan. I grew up listening to his shows from the era of punk rock until his death, and, with increasing obsessiveness, compiled cassettes, mini discs and finally mp3 playlists of the best tunes. Music runs through my family’s veins, and in me this takes the form of a compulsive search for new sounds. As John Peel used to put it, what I really want to hear is something I haven’t heard before.
Envy fills me when I read what my Dandelion collaborators have achieved in promoting, making and playing music, but my life as a teacher for the past quarter of a century has squeezed out any time for, well, pretty much anything apart from listening to and appreciating what continues to be made musically across the world. At last, though, I have found the space to pursue what has long been an ambition and can attempt to meet the stellar broadcasting standards set by my volunteer colleagues by sharing my love of new music with Dandelion listeners. I really hope at least some of what you hear gets its hooks into you.
