On my show this month:
Leo features tunes from some of his favourite albums of the year and favourite artists of the moment in his July show. Among these are Martha Skye Murphy , Church Chords, A Lily and Beth Gibbons . He also has a crazy live track by Animal Collective , a brand-new remix by Burial and a brilliant number by Beak> . Among the new names to Leo (but maybe not to you) are DJ Counselling, Sour Blood , Sun+Dead, Chew and Uranium Club. And this is only a scratch on the surface of the quality that runs throughout the four hours of Leo's July show. Its treasures merely await your perusal.

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.
