*Outside
Playing music by the misunderstood, the mistaken, the lunatic, the occasionally crazy, the non-human, the vegetable, the animal, the mineral, the criminal, the hard to like, the dispossessed, the so angry they no longer make sense, the terminally unhappy, the naive, the over-professional, the shut out, the visionary, the unfashionable, the weird, the loopy, the lonely, the very very old, the very very young, the foreign, the strange, the unique, the other, the out there, the inhibited, the in-between, the acid-washed, the mechanical, the distorted, the quiet, the innocent, the spectral, the astral, the offensive, the shy, the amateur, and above all, the different.

Genres tend to limit, the point of Outside is to include everything that tends to get excluded WHILST REMAINING LISTENABLE. The show will often be challenging but I want as many people as possible to enjoy it so I will I endeavour to make it a strange pleasure to listen to, not a festival of harsh ear weirdness.

Because I am contrary by nature I will often include songs that challenge the boundaries of this genre - partly to piss off the people who would police boundaries but also to include songs and sounds that I think are wonderful and want you to hear.

Of all mediums I think music is the most precious because it can make you go from feeling bad to feeling good the quickest.

This show is nothing without listeners and the sooner you contact me to let me know your thoughts and desires the better we can custom tailor it to your heart.
