About me: DJ (weekday afternoons on NME Radio), ex-musician (ha!), lapsed rock-star. Cat owner. Skater.
Was keyboard player in Jesus Jones, mind you we're still going, make that AM the keyboard player. Also worked with The Utah Saints as well as The Feely Room.
Worked for 104.9 Xfm here in London (in the years when it was still worth listening to), have been a radio DJ for the last 9 years.Have also helped to launch shadowglobe.com, an internet radio station/social networking site dedicated to supporting undiscovered music. I'm a skater. 169's, wide board, smith grinds, rock'n'roll variations. Copers. Rip grip. I'm a widdler.
Who I'd like to meet: About half the number of people i've actually met. Then i'd like to forget most of those people too.
Hello Iain, thank you for the radio program on Radio NME and the friendship here in Myspace. I like your radio show. Good titles & sounds for happy work on each day of week.

Hi there iain, its so very nice to meet your acquaitance, and thanking you muchly for being my (our) friend.
I hope you enjoyed our tunes - I thought you might do judging by the stuff you seem to be into like - if you fancy a couple of our mp3s for you ipod/nonbrandedmp3 player then just ping me your email address back for our mailing list (info about gigs and the like) OR just click here on these here words and I'll sort that out for you, probably in the next couple of days, quite busy.
Forgive the indulgence but I've just worked out how to do this so i'm gonna put it in here - its a video of us playing one of the songs we would send to you live @ Bull and Gate last month just to show you what it may be like, hope thats ok :)
Our next gig isnt for a while but will probably be at Metro on Tottenhem Court Road - (so not really that close to you if I'm being honest ha ha :), but who knows - you may be on holiday, or finding out what its like to visit somewhere with 10 million people in about a square mile :)
