Hi everyone. Happy Thursday. Good news, the technical issues at Big City Radio have now been resolved and the Beautiful Freak Show, that didn't get broadcast on Saturday, is currently live on air until 9pm. It was quite simply one of the best episodes I have ever been involved with - mainly thanks to Mr. Freak Of The Week himself - Peadar Macriada who took to broadcasting like a duck to water. It's not too late to listen live now or dip into the catch as per the below link. Enjoy! I'll be back on Saturday with The Beautiful Freak Show.

Hi everyone. Happy Tuesday. Tomorrow will be my first foray of the week, broadcasting wise, with The Beautiful Indie Show on Big City Radio. I can promise you that the show will be teeming with brand new indie tracks as well as three fab features and my own imitable Brummie banter thrown into the mix. Here are some of the leading lights earmarked for tomorrow; Wavewulf, Talk In Code, Fever Dreams , Lava la Rue, No Rest For The Spacemen, Mojo Thunder, Rachel Chinouriri, Flores Blue, The Dead King Company & Still Traffico. It's an indie show but with bells and whistles. I hope you can join me for the beautiful ride.

Hi everyone. Happy Saturday. I'll be ready to enter your ears later with this weeks Beautiful Freak Show, coming at you at midday. I'll be sharing the hosting duties with Mr. Freak of The Week himself - Peadar Macriada. As the poster states it will be a 'PAW' Special but there will be nothing poor about today's show as it's stacked to the gunnels with superb songs, fantastic features and terrific talking between the tracks. I'm sure you with love what's on offer. Hope you can join us at 12pm, sharpish.

Hi everyone. Happy Tuesday. What a lovely day, here in the UK. After a few weeks off air, The Beautiful Indie Show returns tomorrow with a brand new time slot on a different station - I am sure it will be a seamless transition to the airwaves via Big City Radio. Well, what's on offer I hear you ask - I can confirm that the established features such as 'Wayne's Rock Slot', 'Wayne's Acoustic Dimension' and the 'Departure Lounge' keep their rightful place on the show and I'll be playing stacks of sparkling new tracks from the likes of; The Howlers, Stepford Wives, Roguefx, The Virginmarys, Vinny Pereira, Everything After Midnight, ROLE MODEL, Jasper Dan ZA, Arpraxis & The Space Sharks. I'll be hitting the 'broadcast' button at 7pm tomorrow and it's a pleasure to follow Paul Kazam's Retro Drive Home which is one of the most listened to shows on BCR. I hope you can join me then.

Hi everyone. Happy Friday. Well, it's nearly the weekend and that can only mean one thing - yes, I'll be straddling the airwaves tomorrow with this weeks Beautiful Freak Show. But, I won't be on my lonesome as the rather splendid Al Monde will be joining me for 2 hours of mirth and wonderment as we circumnavigate the musical map to share with you some of the most unique artists - past and present. I am sure it will be a real hoot as we intend to bamboozle you with obscure, esoteric and mysterious tunes that nobody else plays. Throw into the mix the well established features you all love to bits and I promise you an entertaining 120 minutes on Big City Radio at midday.

Hi everyone. Happy Friday. The sun is shining here in Costa Del Walsall so I hope it's pleasant for you.
One thing that is guaranteed to brighten up your weekend is The Beautiful Freak Show that hits the airwaves tomorrow on Big City Radio. I'm better organised this week so I can share with you that I'll be cramming in; 6 fab features, a range of remarkable requests, chat between the tracks and masterful melodic music from the likes of Alto Key, Mojo Thunder, Martin F Hubbard, Nathan Belt, Jenna Feeney, Rhino & The Ranters & Lava la Rue. I'm going to be a good little boy and not drink too much tonight so I can stay clear headed tomorrow and give the show as much energy as it deserves. I hope you can join me at midday.

29/06/2024

Hi everyone. Happy Saturday. I'll be live on air at midday today and I'm after a favour!
Even if you can't listen in live - just like last week it will be a vote off for the 'Wayne's Happy Ending' finale. I'll be going toe to toe with Lynne Ewington who has chosen 'Life's What You Make It' by Talk Talk as opposed to my selection; 'Wonderful Life' by Black. Please let me know and I'll add the votes to the pile to see who wins.
I'll also be giving a debut to a brand new feature; 'Brian's Big Country One' (aka BBC1) courtesy of my fantastic friend Brian E Mohn. Looking forward to keeping you company at 12pm sharp.

26/06/2024

We're all about the music, and nothing else! Along with your Heart & Soul favourites this week, we have three stunning performances to enjoy in our "Live in Concert" triple play.

Please join me if you can at 9pm on Big City Radio. Sending my love and best wishes to you this Wednesday. xx

Hi everyone. Happy Friday. The weekend is within in touching distance. Yippee. One of many bands I was involved with, split up on this day in 2000. It was a relief though as the singer was an unreliable coke addict who messed a lot of people around. Good riddance to him.
Anyway, have moved on and can confirm that tomorrows show is going to brighten your day up even more than the weather forecast. Yes, The Beautiful Freak Show will include at least 5 fantastic features as well as requests, tributes and music that will get you a moving and grooving from the likes of; Otherish Mac Otherish, Martin F Hubbard, The Miracle Rabbit, Bison Hip, Rhino & The Ranters (R John Webb), Independent Country, Abz Winter Music, ActionRec and The Pull of Autumn. Also, my lovely listeners will get to vote on which song I finish on for 'Wayne's Happy Ending'. I hope you can join me on Big City Radio at 12pm tomorrow.

Hi everyone. Happy Thursday. On this exact date, 10 years ago, I did one of the most surreal gigs ever. I was in indie outfit Dinky at the time and we had sound-checked and ready to perform our set at The Kings Head in Birmingham. Just before going on stage 'pop' the power goes off in the entire pub! Not to be deterred the bar staff continued to sell bottles of beer, wine etc. whilst we quickly managed to put together enough candles to lighten the darkness. We then went on to play a blinding acoustic set without any mics or pa before the fuse box was sorted and we switched back to our original set up. I must say that the audience preferred our acoustic efforts and lost interest in our electric offerings so it was a funny old gig but memorable for the challenge we faced. Anyway, the good news is that last weeks BFS is now available as a catch up with the usual eclectic mix. You will encounter everything from Benny Hill to Tom Waits & Slade as well an abundance of great new music. I'll be back on Saturday. Details to follow tomorrow.

Hi everyone. Happy Friday. It's 40 years to the day that I was in my early days of gigging. The band was 'Ulterior Motive' the venue on this very evening was 'The Boldmere'. We had a bit of a mini residency at this establishment but it didn't pay well and we only earned a bit of beer money - at best. Fun times though without a care in the world.
On to tomorrow whereby I am looking forward to broadcasting this weeks Beautiful Freak Show via big Big City Radio. I'll have at least five fab features for you as well as some remarkable requests and magical music from the likes of; Roguefx, Jimbasnight Fan, Kim Kondrashoff, Nigel Connell Music, Black Country Communion, Eric Eracleous, Rob Peters & Martin F Hubbard. I hope you can join me at midday tomorrow.

Hi everyone. Happy Friday. It's nearly time to bid farewell to the month of May and greet in June and what a start to the new month it promises to be. Yes, for the third time this year, Lynne Ewington will be sharing the presenting duties with me as we celebrate the beginning of her big birthday bash weekend. We will be battling it out - in a musical way - and be counting on your votes as we go head to head in a P.O.P Special (P.O.P = Past or Present). It will be a lot of fun so why not join us tomorrow on Big City Radio at midday. If you would like to take part on this special Beautiful Freak Show - please contact me on 07305 265807 before or during 12-2pm tomorrow. Thanks.
