I am PASSIONATE ABOUT RADIO - I grew up with it not having TV at home til I was 12 and I almost always listen in preference to watching. Creating it and broadcasting is such a pleasure and I also train people in radio skills - with Community Champions and freelance having first started as a trainer with Women's Radio Group back in the day. I produce and present all my shows mostly live. I do editing and production on request and create jingles, stings and more.
UP!!D8s on the FRONT PAGE currently : )

My guest was my friend and very fine musician Bumi Thomas who I had initially invited to talk about her evening coming UP!! at the October Gallery interpreting 'Hidden' the outstanding exhibition by L R Vandy in music and song. However in the meantime Bumi had received some devastating news - that her application for indefinite leave to remain in UK had been refused with next to no time to appeal. She set up a fundraiser so she could pay for expert legal support to lodge and appeal and carry it through - see here - which is also a campaign update page. The appeal has been lodged and acknowledged and now Bumi awaits at the date.
Thursday June 13th
I welcomed back Pax Nindi for his now annual visit to tell us more about his musical adventures in Brazil and share new music as well as his Carnival initiatives and where things are up to with Attatak - all going swimmingly well.
Thursday June 6th
This week was to have been a music catch UP!! However my train was really slow and stopped at every possible occasion so I was going to be way late and I decided not to go in. A repeat of the previous week's show was played which was hopefully helpful as a further push for the #Mozima fundraiser event - see May 30th
Thursday May 30th
Very pleased to welcome Malika Beraud and Catherine Plant (Africathy) to talk about Malika and Rachel's and initiatives to make arts and culture and grow fine food in Senegal and #Mozima a fundraiser with a difference to support those affected by Cyclones Idai and Kenneth in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi
Thursday May 23rd
This week my guest was 'multi instrumentalist and remixer' Chris Franck of Brazilian/Jazz/downtempo fusionists Da Lata with new music to share and a hark back to Smoke City and Zeep.
Going deep into now culture in this one. Cultural activist and arts inclusion enabler Nike Jonah always goes to the heart of the matter and is currently part of Counterpoint Arts putting Migrant artists well forward with a new strand Popular Culture and Social Change. She promoted a panel discussing UK Black Music and its narrative and archive which will take the 'long table' approach on Friday May 24th at Tate Modern. Italo-Congolese singer songwriter guitarist Sans Soucis achieves beautiful calm and healing in her lovely music. She is also a humanitarian practitioner applying her music to work with street children in Zambia. Her single Unchain is out now.

This week I was lucky enough to be able to interview award winning 'global griot' bluesman Eric Bibb mid-residency at Ronnie Scott's. What a very fine man and generous interviewee. I enjoyed meeting him and his concert was a major treat too. I also spoke to Yvonne Mbanefo, co-founder of the Igbo Conference on the occasion of the 8th edition of this far-reaching and crucial gathering. Listen back here

This week I planned to do a tribute to much missed Jumbo (Donald) Vanrenen who made such an impact on the music scene in UK - and thus globally - from the early 70s with key stints at Virgin (Frontline), Island (Mango) and finally his own label Earthworks bringing us so much amazing music. However my guest Nick Carnac was unable to join me at the last minute as something urgent prevented him coming in. So I played a few records to give a taste of Jumbo's range and then played a wide selection of music I have been sent recently. Hopefully the tribute to Jumbo who died towards the end of last year can be set up again. Listen back here

NEW SEASON … FROM SEPTEMBER 13th 2018 …..
THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1ST 2018
This week I planned to speak to Ghanaian musician Atongo Zimba in a phoner but gremlins struck anew so I simply played a track and advertised his forthcoming gig on November 9th at Green Note, Camden once more. HOWEVER I did successfully phone Michael Fuller to talk about 'Fern Meets Dido' the musical he and Evadne Bradley have put together which shows at the Shoestring Theatre near Croydon on Saturday and Sunday 3rd & 4th November and places mixed heritage people in their rightful historical context. AND I played some great music. The playlist is below.

RECENTLY:
Resonance 104.4FM Clearspot The Outerglobe goes to Passing Clouds - with Gudrun Getz and Maurice One Jah about Passing Clouds and their campaign to save the venue #PassingCloudsForever The situation changed dramatically when the landlord got bailiffs to occupy the premises without any notice following an adverse eviction decision. Passing Clouds are going to the High Court of Appeal and are organising a Day of Action - March and event on September 17th . update soon. UP!!D8: Passing Clouds were formally evicted from their building in the Autumn, however they went on to get the building declared an Asset of Community Value which prohibits change of purpose and allows purchase by Passing Clouds. The landlord gave up attempts to make it into offices and wanted to make it into a club however the late license is held by ....PC so that was not viable and finally they came to the table to discuss purchase by PC. This is the most up to date news I have. People's persistence - People's Power! UP!!

Resonance have a constant appeal on to keep going so do go have a look and see how you can help there.
African Essence was also on SOAS RADIO (formerly Open Air) and some excellent shows can still be heard on the site. Many thanks also to Open Air (SOAS) for the airtime!
African Essence playlist archive is found here African Essence delighted in presenting trademark incisive informative and entertaining interviews with the movers and shakers on the African arts and cultural scene here in London and throughout the Diaspora featuring well known people as well as unsung community pioneers. DJ Debbie (Golt) and Anne Wanjie selected African music of all eras, styles and flavas - bubbling up artists and household names, seeped in tradition or burning the remix lasers, classics and growers alike. The only criteria: great music to share. I will be putting more audio up on my own Outerglobe Mixcloud as time goes on.
With an especial emphasis on the music and wider arts of London, African Essence's remit went worldwide. It is a body of work I am very proud of - alongside Anne Wanjie co producer/presenter.
