Greetings all,
Well the powers that be have given me TWO hour long shows over the Bank Holiday weekend. It's going to be a best of show in two parts, one Good Friday and the other Easter Monday.
Both shows are on from 6pm-7pm and they'll be a best of show, where we'll be playing tracks that we've featured on the show over the past three months since we started back in January. We'll have tracks from artists such as Vera Cruz, The Chevrons, Nick Stephenson, Paul Littler, Trouble With Tuesdays, Polly Poison & Her Electric Antidote, The Tearaways, The Startover and loads more.
Plus because of Good Friday, the usual show will be on THURSDAY instead at the usual time of 6:30pm with tracks from Trouble With Tuesday & Mr Twist and an interview with Royal Flush!
So to recap:
The Gig Guide - Thursday 9th April, 6:30pm-7pm
The Gig Guide: Easter Special Part 1 - Good Friday 10th April, 6pm-7pm
The Gig Guide: Easter Special Part 2 - Easter Monday 13th April, 6pm-7pm
Hope you enjoy the shows!
Happy Easter,

G20 and all that
Hello everyone.
So we got though the G20. Did it achieve anything, is there a new world order or was it just a bit of a jolly for the politicians? I told you President Obama was in Harpenden - well in a way he was. If you missed the show then it's too late for me explain now. I also told you why a cuppa will soon cost more. I see Madonna didn't get a second child adopted, from Malawi. The judge said 'no' and I can't say I am sorry. Messrs Ross & Brand are back in the news again - I may comment on Tuesday.
Last Thursday I played a lot of Marvin Gaye as he would have turned 70 and he was shot dead by his own father a quarter of a century ago. I featured some wonderful tracks though managed to avoid the inevitable "Heard It Through The Grapevine" in favour the rather less obvious, including a reggae cover version of 'Let's Get It On'. I also played you everything from Led Zeppelin to Bob Dylan, Toto to John Mayall and his Bluebreakers...not to mention Sugarland, Pet Shop Boys, the Clash, Barry Manilow, Lunik, Beatles, Troggs, Duffy, Supertramp, Sinatra, Jamiroquai, Ian Dury & the Blockheads and many other fine songs.
For more thrills and spills tune in again soon between 4 and 7pm. Mind you, I'm only with you Tuesday this week (Danny is on the other days) so let's make it a good'un!

The Gig Guide: Review & Tracklisting - Fri 3rd April 2009
Greetings all, It was another tight-packed show but it was a good one. This week we had the Josh, Luke & Rupert from The Generals in the studio talking about their upcoming gig in aid of Oxfam at The Horn on Wednesday. We also had some great tracks from Saville & Libido Banshee with a rather appropriate Outro track by Radiohead, seeing as they will be playing Reading this year and yours truly will be there to see it. Last time I sit for two depressing hours on the computer and phone trying to get one though!
Tracklistings:
Libido Banshee – Such A Drag
www.myspace.com/libidobanshee
TRACK OF THE WEEK
Saville – I Don’t Feel Right Anymore
www.myspace.com/savilleofficial
INTERVIEW:
The Generals – Dust and Girls
The Generals – Laura
(For info search for 'The Generals' on Facebook)
OUTRO
Radiohead – Just
Just a reminder that next week we're on Thursday as there is no West Herts Show with Danny Smith on Good Friday (and i'll be in the pub like everyone else). Just want to say at this quarterly stage of the year a big thankyou to everyone so far that has contributed to the show either by sending in their music or appearing on the show and even those who listen. It's been going really good so far and we've been getting some really good feedback on the show. If you have been enjoying the show and have any feedback on how we can make it better or just how much you love it, then let me know and drop me a message.
Thanks again everyone! And remember we're on next THURSDAY, 6:30pm-7pm
