Radio Interviews

I love doing radio interviews and live playing on air. On the 28th of October I did one with Josh Gaffin at WTSQ 88.1 FM; it's a West Virginia station, and he played some Chefs tracks (including Thrush, because as he thought, the listeners wouldn't understand the slang!) and one from my forthcoming album. Josh said his wife has my book She's At The Controls (https://www.equinoxpub.com/home/shes-at-the-controls/), but there was so much to talk about, we never really got around to talking about that. Josh had been an assistant to Lou Reed back in the day, and we had a good old chat about that behind the scenes, and Jonathan Richman too. Big thanks to Josh- I don't think the show is online.

Yesterday, I talked to Dave Hammond at Cambridge 105 Radio. Dave is a total music enthusiast, and is always plugged into what's going on at the busy semi-underground music scene that I'm part of. He also has a fantastic dad, and regularly posts on Facebook about his father's activities and philosophy. We had a good old chinwag; he played Records and Tea from The Chefs compilation, and also three from the new album (Three Cheers For Toytown, It Wasn't Me and Send in the Detectives)

Tomorrow (Saturday) I'm off to Resonance FM to play some new songs on Dexter Bentley's show at 12.00 GMT. The link is here: http://player.resonancefm.com so do listen in if you fancy hearing me have a go at some of the new songs!

Then on Sunday I'm supporting Rachel Love and the Loveables at The Prince Albert in Brighton, a matinee that starts at 2.30. Tickets here: https://wegottickets.com/event/624910

It was touching to hear Amy Rigby's Riley and Coe session on BBC6 on Miserable Trumpday this week. Amy (also on Dave's show a couple of weeks ago) was so delighted by the welcome she has had on moving to England and by the support Gideon Coe and Mark Riley have given to her music, that she shed a tear or two. I hope we can share a gog at some point next year, because she's brilliant.

Well, I might tell you about the Hew Locke exhibition next posting.
