I did hear the Hafdis Huld session the other week, & that was utterly charming, as is the track that they played again the other night
'Action Man'

Over the years, I first heard a lot of bands/artists that I got to like on the 'R & M' show (plus, those when it was Radcliffe & Marc 'the boy lard' Riley)
Such as;

Tindersticks (still a big favourite) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4J8gS_SbkE
British Sea Power http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2n-7K0Ef6Y
Arcade Fire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83KR_UBWdPI
Airborne Toxic Event http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKEu3EmBCzQ
Snow Patrol


Surprising Fact; Radcliffe was supposedly the first British DJ to feature/play tracks by/interview Madonna!! (under her 'own' name)

Know what you mean - their "graveyard shift" introduced me to Belle and Sebastian

That's where I first heard 'B & S' too

Ahh, the 'graveyard shift'!!! Memories

I remember his 'Out On Blue 6' too


Digressing Ever So Slightly
His 'ThankYou For The Days' book is quite good

It tells of his meetings with David Bowie, his invite to Kate Bushes house!!!, etc.....

Sorry Alf, just seen this.

Using my extensive sherlock holmes detective skills I have just worked out that R2 must stand for that 'groovy' radio station Radio 2 with The Chain presumably being a 'hip' program thereon. Am I right?
