I’ve only been back up to the Wilton Way Café to record another triumph of a show for London Fields Radio. And now, dear reader, you can shove it in your ears. It was a lovely day in Hackney, and despite messing up the recording so it was in mono it all went rather well. [...]
Are you the sort of person that likes music? Specifically, the sort of music nominated for the 2011 Mercury Music Prize?
If you are that sort of person then you’re in the right place, as for the 16th and therefore most recent edition of Bitter Fingers Radio I done a show in which I play tracks [...]

Hooray! The Brighton Festival is back from 7th May, and that also heralds the return of Brighton Festival Radio. It was brilliant doing shows last year – The Sounds of Space featuring Professor Brian Cox was a personal highlight.

This month it’s an absolutely jam packed edition of Bitter Fingers Radio – frankly I’m surprised we’ve managed to get it onto the internet in one piece.
My special guest for the show is Tom Williams, bandleader of Tom Williams & the Boat who are one of my favourite new bands at the moment. Their new [...]
This month on Bitter Fingers Radio, I’m joined by my special guest – Esther Yoxall of the quite lovely band Quiet Choir. Together, we get into her Innocent Pleasure, tell Ani DiFranco to Hurry Up And Make Another Album and finish the show with possibly the most epic Epic Last Song ever. Believe me, it [...]

Bitter Fingers Radio Volume 13: With Bec Hill
25 Jan 2011A new year, and a new Bitter Fingers Radio show. Hoorah!
After a good while away, I’m back in the delightful Wilton’s Café in Hackney with my wonderful guest, the extraordinarily funny comedian Bec Hill. Together we listen to some prime tunes and get into the business of being a comedian, ahead of her show at the [...]
Bitter Fingers Radio Volume 10: On Location
13 Dec 2010Due to my hectic schedule (actually had to do some work for once) this week’s show doesn’t come from the wonderful Wiltons Café in Hackney, home of excellent coffee and quite good radio.
Instead it’s delivered from a secret location which ought to add to the mystery of the whole affair. That aside there’s a whole [...]
Brrr. Chilly out, isn’t it? Going against all standard medical practise, I suggest you turn your speakers up and have a listen to the very latest edition of Bitter Fingers Radio to keep warm. And maybe have a cup of tea or something. Either way, it’s going to be a fun old afternoon.
All your usual [...]
Recorded by me for your listening pleasure, please find below the very latest instalment of the Bitter Fingers radio show for London Fields Radio.
This week the show is brought to you in a triumph of man over machine, as I had to reconstruct the show from the mangled remains stuck within our recording device. There’s [...]
