You can listen back to my appearance on the Sound Projector Radio Show here....

The show is hosted by indie comics legend Ed Pinsent. We had a lovely chat about music, my own artistic life and other stuff. Ed also invited me to play some of my favourite music and influences. I also played a few of my own songs.
The show is repeated Wednesday 27th May at 1am.
