I’m back (KERRONG!!!!) back in the DTK groove…
Like a spider in the house at autumn time, you can’t keep me out of Dressed To Kill for long. Some 18 months after I depped for Matt in Birkenhead and Chesterfield, I made a return to the drum stool – in slightly different circumstances.
I'll be back on Planet Rock for the week commencing Mon 26th October covering for Darren Redick on the afternoon show 2-7pm, which includes a PR listener's 'Rockblock' at 6pm.
Hope you can join me on;

All about the news Ritchie Blackmore is set to abandon the "Hey Nonny No Nonny Ninny-O" tunes he does with his wife for a bit, and rock out!
He's playing 4 "rock" gigs in Summer 2016, and I wondered what Ian Gillan, Ritchie's nemesis, would make of the idea, and who would be involved with the abrasive "Man In Black"?
Enjoy

So Planet Rock then eh? That escalated quickly…
I mentioned in my previous blog the notion of ‘luck’ and ‘right place/right time’ with regard to how opportunities in broadcasting sometimes present themselves. Well, the events that led to me making my presenting debut on Planet Rock last week is as good an example of that as any to me.
Hello all,
I am delighted to announce that, in addition to my continuing work on TalkSPORT and with UEFA.com etc, I am also joining the presenting team at Planet Rock, covering for the on-air team as and when required.
Indeed, my first presenting shift is this coming Friday 18th September 10am-2pm as cover for Wyatt on his mid-morning show!
Many’s the time I’ve received a message either through this here website, or a Tweet/Facebook message – sometimes even a personal email finds its way to me via a 3rd party – asking for advice on how to ‘make it’ in the radio industry.
Giving an answer feels almost fraudulent from my personal perspective, as my route into broadcasting was about as conventional as a Hawkwind B-side. But let me try and answer as best I can, all the same.
I have to tell you that few things are more satisfying in life than hearing the producer of your album that you’ve laboured over for 18 months say, “That’s it – job’s a good ‘un mate!”
The other week, Alex Cooper and I finally completed work on what will be released in September 2015 as ‘Second Time Around’ – what’s known in the trade as a ‘sophomore release’ apparently…certainly saves the need for overuse of the word ‘second’ in my case.
So I’m at it again.
When ‘Prove You Wrong’ was released in March 2013, it felt like a culmination of things; all the years of trying to make the best of my abilities as a muso and come up with an album of which I could be justly and permanently proud. And I felt I achieved that.
