Dylan Thomas. Richard Burton. Dub Reggae.

Under Dubwood.

As heard on the Stephen McCauley Show. The best thing on the wireless.

This episode is an absolute cracker.

I've already listened to it about three times.

And The Dubwood Allstars got a spin.

Adore "Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call". Those first 5 or 6 albums are just a treasure trove.

Electric Mainline was first broadcast on BBC Radio Foyle on this day 20 years ago. It was my first radio show and it changed my life. Originally commissioned on a 2-month revolving contract, it lasted 13 and a half years on the airwaves. I still beam with pride when I think about it.

Sunday. Making buns. With the Stephen McCauley Show on the BBC Sounds App.

Always great to hear The Pixies. And Turnstile.

Stephen McCauley - Book Week NI: Stuart Bailie - BBC Sounds Celebrating Book Week NI with Stuart Bailie.

Thanks to Stephen McCauley for involving me in his Book Week NI special. I had an extended blether about my time at NME, about the Manics, Morrissey, RΓ“IS, Oasis & the tremendous impact of the weekly music press. The whole show is valuable. My part begins around 1.11.

Depeche mode. Never let me down again. 12 bong 14.
Released 24 August 1987.

Probably my favourite track ever.

Recently spun on the Stephen McCauley Show on BBC radio foyle / BBC radio ulster. A "must listen" for all the cool kids.
