In the first of a new series of blog posts, I recall my early days and the circumstances that gave me a passion for radio — beginning with the pirate stations of the 1960s … On Monday the 14th of August 1967, at just after three o’clock in the afternoon, I sat alone in my [...]

Addition To VO Demos: Rolling Stone Magazine
In August 2010 I was commissioned to voice a video commercial for Rolling Stone magazine, advertising its “Beatles 100 Greatest Songs” special edition, to run in the concourses of various airports across the USA. Click here to play the Rolling Stone magazine video commercial in your media player
Snatched Conversations: On Pete Atkin
Talking of Cuddly Ken’s favourites: what about Pete Atkin‘s Master Of The Revels? Lyrics by Clive James (who was on the BBC’s The One Show tonight, which reminded me of it). By a complete coincidence, I learnt tonight, when I found Pete Atkin’s web site, that it was actually recorded on 1st April 1970 — [...]

Glastonbury – Van Morrison & Corinne Bailey Rae
On the day my PC died, Friday 10th August 2007, Marcy and I were looking forward to popping down to Glastonbury for day one of the three-day Glastonbury Abbey Musical Extravaganza, a sort of extension to the famous festival that had taken place in Michael Eavis’s muddy fields a couple of weeks before.

Lip-Dub: Flagpole Sitta
One of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time: a lip dub of Harvey Danger‘s Flagpole Sitta. According to one of the many comments left at the video’s home page, “the cast are the staff of Connected Ventures, a company that works for Vimeo (where the video is hosted), collegehumor, busted tees … [...]
Podcasts
I discovered podcasting in the summer of 2005. As an ex-radio man it appealed to me and for almost a year I persevered with creating what turned into a weekly show. In May of 2006 I took a holiday in Scotland (my honeymoon, actually!) and on my return I just couldn’t face picking up where [...]
