My favourite DJ. Like you I don’t always get to listen, but when I do I hear at least two new things every time that spur me on to investigate more.

Back when 6Music first started, he had the 10am slot, and introduced my to countless new bands. I’m thoroughly indebted to him. He had Jim James of My Morning Jacket on playing an acoustic set, and I got called into a meeting just as it started. I emailed the show lamenting this, and his Producer sent me a MiniDisc of the session personally. I was bowled over.

An immensely knowledgable DJ and a lovely man to boot. The world needs more of 'em.

yeah he good

seems like a lovely man

He used to to a morning show with Fi Glover on whatever BBC London local radio was called back in the 90s. Was always a good listen back when I had my “best ever job” in a quiet bookshop

The Cravats

He is brilliant also he doesn’t talk loads which is great. Just wall to wall bangers.

He rarely plays anything I don’t like which is no mean feat. Haven’t listened for a while but should get back into it.

Coe and Ravenscroft are my 6music favs. Riley’s not bad either.

#20

I quite like Riley but he’s not quite as eclectic as Coe.

Not heard Ravenscroft but that’s John Peel’s son isn’t it?

#21

it is, he plays some great stuff. sometimes gets a bit dancey in certain slots which doesn’t interest me quite as much, but he been playing Girl Band for a long time as well as great Belfast bands like Sea Pinks and Girls Names that i wouldn’t really expect to hear on 6music very much.

Your band is a great one…well played…in my top few LPs of last year…and yes it was Gid that turned me on to you, so to speak…

Definitely my favourite DJ and radio show - eclectic but with a leaning towards quality music that can be loosely filed under indie - his record collection and tastes are remarkably similar to my own…so he;ll often play bands I love (including the more obscure ones) and will equally introduce me to stuff - new and old. Seems a proper nice guy and has a warm, engaging presenting manner too. I am almost glad he’s a spurs fan or else it would be too good to be true…
