Jowheretogo Show Week 2! A New Day Riising Interesting week for me. After meeting the manager of Bastille (and the lady who first signed the Stereophonics), Polly Comber, at my "Managing A Music Business Enterprise" course, I had a day in a recording studio. In the very homely surroundings of Broadwater Studios in Gateshead, meeting with Riise Music artists Anna and Richard (formally of Anna and The Kings), recording a track in a style more suited to their new style as Northeast electronic duo Denature .

Download the album here . The DVD will be released on Wednesday 6th March. Junior chats about life, the wor...

The Jowheretogo Show Goes Official! After a few weeks of slotting in where there was a spare hour, NE1fm have now kindly allowed me a regular    slot! The Jowheretogo Show will now be broadcasting every Monday at 12pm starting the 28th January 2013, on 102.5 fm. I will still be playing music from bands who are doing gigs in the local area, and other music with a link, however tenuous to the other events going on. I'm very new to presenting but I hope to provide you with an entertaining show where I am providing you information about events you perhaps didn't know about, and places you've never visited. Also in the pipeline is a  Jowheretogo   website, with information about bands, artists, venues, comics, theatre and days out. I hope to make this interesting and engaging, not just a listings website, the things I promote are the ones that really catch my eye, and I want you to share! A development has been my new involvment with RIISE Music  Management...
