Last week was Independent Music Venue week and BBC 6Music were broadcasting live from Norwich Arts Centre as part of the celebrations. Steve Lamacq was at the venue and discussing live on the radio the many bands who’d played there over the years. For this show I thought it’d be good to look at some […]

Over the last few years we’ve been looking back 30 years at what was going on musically, as we enter 2023 this show travels back 30 years to 1993. Ignoring the huge success of Meat Loaf, Take That and Mr Blobby the original shoegaze bands were releasing their second albums with mixed results, whilst the […]
In this show we’re heading back 30 years to 1992. Lots of the shoegaze and Manchester bands were still in full throttle after their initial success and despite the press turning to the USA following the success of Nirvana it was a year when some of the best records of the early 90’s were released. […]

We go back to 1991 again this week as we visit one of the last great occasions of the original shoegaze era. Not only do Slowdive release their debut album Just For A Day but a whole bunch of groups play the Yamaha Band Explosion. Throughout the show we play tracks recorded at the event […]
26th November 2000 was the date I first launched the www.creation-records.com website. The month before there were two books and a compilation album on the subject of Creation Records released but there was still very little information about the music online. The legacy Creation left is probably bigger now than it was in 2000. […]
What a week… a new lockdown in England, the US elections and the announcement that The Boo Radleys are (kind of) returning. Sice Boo & The Radleys have announced a gig next autumn and whilst we have no idea what their setlist will include, no doubt it will focus on the later chart hits, we […]
Another week, another show and on this one we celebrate Adorable’s debut album from 1993. Against Perfection was the right album released at the wrong time to be successful, too late to be part of the Shoegaze scene and too early (and too good) for Britpop! Netherless it’s a great album that sounds even better […]
