Electric Mainline was first broadcast on BBC Radio Foyle on this day 20 years ago. It was my first radio show and it changed my life. Originally commissioned on a 2-month revolving contract, it lasted 13 and a half years on the airwaves. I still beam with pride when I think about it.

Thanks to Stephen McCauley for involving me in his Book Week NI special. I had an extended blether about my time at NME, about the Manics, Morrissey, RÓIS, Oasis & the tremendous impact of the weekly music press. The whole show is valuable. My part begins around 1.11. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
