Hits Like Mourning by The Shutes

admin — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 06:09:38 +0000

In 2010 the NME said: “The most far-out rock n roll joyride to have left the isle of Wight since august 31st, 1970 when Hendrix’s trailer pulled out”.

We say: “The Shutes are showing the rest how to ride the pipe of indie surf music.”

New bands and a Storm on Original 106fm

admin — Mon, 28 May 2007 12:19:00 +0000

Every Sunday evening at 18:00 (GMT) I host the Original Showcase on Original 106fm.

During the show we play the best music from our region of the UK – Hampshire, Dorset, Isle of Wight and West Sussex.

The rain was pouring down and we were receiving messages from people stuck in caravans, especially numbers 144 and 145 – for them the station made a grim day much better.

We also had a great response to the competition and congratulations go out to Jerry from Wimbourne who won away a copy of Storm Thorgerson’s excellent new illustrated book “Taken by Storm” (pictured above) – you can buy it from Amazon here…
