Thomas Blatchford - DJ

Thomas Blatchford There is no show from Thomas Blatchford this month

On the show NEXT month:
Now that Spring has sprung in this hemisphere the Thomas show is back, recorded on the day Robert Redford died, hence the opening song.
There's an old ditty from The Lovely Eggs that's about to be a new track on their forthcoming album Bin Juice, and a blast from the past from Pagan Wanderer Lu that's now ‘name your price' on Bandcamp.
Otherwise it's just new hotness from the likes of No Peeling, Problem Patterns, Baker Boy, Ov Pain and Optic Sink, plus the magnificent return of Crash The Superyacht!

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.
