D to Z

What do luddites, aeroplane lyricism and getting "lost in the sauce of modern trends in music" have in common? The father of the sky, of course! Skydaddy joins me in this extremely special interview. His newest EP “Anchor Chains, Plane Motors & Train Whistles” is out everywhere. It was an ABSOLUTE PLEASURE talking with my personal musical goat. Enjoy.

Nancy Britten (The Hoya, The Student) and I sat down with Krishnan Guru-Murthy the morning after his US election coverage for Channel 4 news. What's the role of the media in the elections? How does British broadcasting differ to American? What's the one question you'd ask Trump? Thank you to Krishnan who imparted some great advice.

What does Adorno and Horkheimer's Culture Industry have to do with Taylor Swift? Why are people listening to more playlists than albums? Can creativity and capitalism collaborate? Prof. Rizzuto (Georgetown University) and Nick join me in the studio as we chat and play some excellent tunes. 

Insider Trading are Edinburgh's best new band. There's no denying the fact... so it was an ABSOLUTE pleasure to have them join me in the studio, talking all things songwriting, musical influences and the Scottish music scene. These guys are simply the best.

Like what you hear? You can catch insider trading LIVE 23rd of August at King Tut's (!!!) or enjoy with their acoustic set at Sneaky Pete's on 9th of June.

Excited for when I can pull up this interview up after their Glastonbury headline.

I was joined by the cast and crew of "Whatever You Want", Theatre Paradok's Semester Project. It was pure chaos, but an an absolute delight.

Massive thanks to Elliana, Anna, Freya and Ronan for bringing the vibes on Monday.

You can see the show 3rd-7th of April at the Embassy Gallery. Tickets available via instagram @fuckthisplay (iconic promotional page)

With a lifelong passion for music that spans across decades and genres, Chris has navigated the music industry with unparalleled enthusiasm and dedication. From spinning records on student radio to curating electrifying club nights, he brought bounds of knowledge into the studio as we chatted about inter-generational music.

Chris runs North London's finest club night "Sure is Funky": playing funk, rare groove, disco, soul, old school hip hop, northern and club classic re-edits!

What a pleasure having him in the studio.

I hear you ask. Daisy, why is the title of the show “gambling responsibly”? No – I haven’t gotten over my crippling addiction yet. Today’s show is titled Gambling Responsibly because I was joined by the cast and crew of Guys and Dolls!

Coming straight from rehearsals to the studio… I had a blast with Phee Simpson, Dan Bryant, Benji Castella McDonald

Big thanks to the producing team behind this wonderful show too!

Guys and Dolls is running from February 13th-17th at The Pleasance Theatre. Tickets are available at Guys and Dolls: The Musical tickets on Tuesday 13 FebFIXRhttps://fixr.co › event › guys-and-dolls-the-musical-tic...
