   Mark's Blurbs
About me:
The Mark Whitby show on Dandelion Radio: "It's a brilliant mix of independent, underground and better known music and Mark plays freely between genres in a masterful way with gem after gem coming up." Pixieguts You can listen to my show pretty much every day on Dandelion Radio, playing a combination of the new, the strange, the different and not staying still long enough to occupy anybody else's rut. I'm also the author of "The Festive Fifty", a book on the legendary John Peel's end of year chart, published in 2005. Get in touch if you want one.
Who I'd like to meet:
peel tribute image
Pass along this small tribute, copy this code. Sadly this is of course never going to happen. Can't think of anyone else who I would have been interested enough to listen to for any length of time.Was denied the chance to meet Peel when a band I was managing (loosely speaking) got played on his show and he met them. However, they wouldn't let me go along because "Peel doesn't like managers", which I'm sure was correct, and entirely understandable. Peel's role in music is best understood in the terms spelt out above. If the articulation of a universal truth is what rock and roll is all about, then John Peel more than anyone had the dedication and honesty to be able to identify the most significant articulations in all sorts of places that others, bound by conformity and illusory categories, wouldn't have known where to look. Peel himself, of course, would have said this was complete bollocks. .. width="425" height="350"> ..>

Sososher – it’s a bit of a tongue twister isn’t it “try saying it three times in a row”. Now you’ve heard the name, you’re going to have to find out what it means.
