It was my privilege to host today’s One 2 Three, the first of 2014. Along with Scott Ross and Mike Jones we have been presenting this early afternoon show on Phoenix FM since last February and what a pleasure it has been. Since we started last year all manner of interesting guests have passed through the door so today I thought I would look forward to a couple of guests I have lined up for later this month.
Next Friday 10th January it’s a massively talented young local musician, Greg Hummell. Greg plays in several bands but next Friday he will be in the guise of Prismism Project – a solo project that sees him perform as a one man band producing dance music. Watch out for some hopefully amazing videos of the session which should see him play drums, bass, guitar and keyboards all at once!
Then the following week on Friday 17th January it’s Richie Milton and Bill Farrow. Richie and Bill are seasoned blues men and have made several appearances on Phoenix in the past mostly on the sadly now defunct Blues from Brentwood show presented by Ches Moulton (come back Ches!). Richie and Bill also performed on our stage in Crown Street on Lighting up Brentwood day at the end of November. It will be great to welcome back these two great characters in a couple of weeks.
I’m also hoping to get a fantastic local singer in on the show soon – Leanne Louise – date TBC but hopefully this month. Leanne has just released a new single – Save Your Heart – and recently appeared at the Oxjam Festival in Brentwood.
So the start of a new year looks very bright indeed – Let’s hope it’s a good one, without any tears… (Damn Christmas records!)
