After enjoying a short week; thanks to the last Bank holiday of the year, I was looking forward to this weekends show.  Especially as this week, we had the exclusive first airplay of  ‘Elusive’, a track from the eagerly awaited EP from TENEK; which we had been enjoying a track called  ‘What do you want from me’, which features the hot Violin skills of Chris Payne (Dramatis). Tenek release their EP on Monday October 10th and as you know, and will be joining me……on Saturday September 10th for a chin-wag ahead of this launch. The guys will be gigging the night before, but promise a good chat anyway; Lead vocalist Peter Steer, is a Billericay boy…… so let’s face it he has got far to crawl.

Electronic music being the order of the day, Twofer’s took two from One Legend, who has stayed the course, despite critics,  since the late seventies and has build a huge following, and even more over the years when he  embraced his rock roots firmly. If you only knew him for ‘Are Friends Electric’ then his new album, ‘Dead Son Rising’ maybe an eye opener; or is that an ‘Ear opener’ – I’m talking of none other then Gary Numan, and we played: ‘Cars’ and ‘ Fall’.
