Living the Dream

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2017/03/02

There's nothing like grabbing your dream and turning it into reality. In this podcast, I chat to Zoe from 'Cycle Retreats' about how she has given up her home in Lymm and downsized to Stockton Heath to fund the luxury cycling holiday company she has set up with her husband Mark. Wow! www.cycleretreats.com

New Grapes

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2017/01/08

Catching up with my mate Matt is always great. But, especially when I'm not feeling so great. Always entertaining. Here, we went to Cork's Out in Stockton Heath for a quiet glass of wine (something I never normally drink) and we simply talked about whatever came in to our heads. We were then joined by a couple of people never met before - that turned out to be great company and most amusing as we talked about child birth - the obvious conversation to have after talking about wine!

Happy New Year

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2017/01/04

Welcome to 2017. Here's a quick podcast for you to get to know the new Taps Bar in Warrington on the corner of Church Street. Hopefully, there will be a sign up by the time you listen to this podcast. I drove round and round the roundabout and nearly gave up looking for it. I'm glad I didn't give up. It's a great place for Warrington musicians to showcase their talents. Call in on a Tuesday for Jam Night, or Saturday for Showcase night.

No Use Crying

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/09/22

NO USE CRYING OVER SPILLED MILK A slight diversion with this podcast as I don't discuss a specific area or local issue. Instead, I talk to John McKenzie - a Cheshire based hypnotherapist - about all sorts of disconnected topics. You are feeling sleepy!

You For Coffee ?

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/08/27

Coffee is the somewhat tenuous thread that binds this podcast together featuring conversations with Tony Horne talking about 'Ghost Writing', the ladies from Warrington's YMCA, and with Rob from 'Dick's Bean Bar' near to Central Station. Some of us are lucky enough to be able to afford a speciality coffee. Sadly, some people in Warrington can't. Thank you to my mate Ray Humphries for using some of his music too.

HoneyFields

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/08/20

This podcast starts with conversations about the financial impact 'Creamfields' has on local businesses. Under a mid August blood red full moon, I talk to my local handyman mate Tom about the Daresbury dance festival whilst we sit outside Stockton Heath's Red Lion before moving inside to talk to Tony the landlord. I talk to another Tom too. You will know him as the owner of Stockton Heath's upmarket restaurant and music venue 'Tom at 101'. We don't talk about the restaurant. Instead, we talk about

Reservoir Jogs

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/08/14

After having a beer in Stockton Heath with Johnny Zebra of ZEBRA REMOVALS, I was motivated to get a bit fitter after seeing him lose 4 stones in 4 months. Here's part of our conversation outside Costello's. And my walk (not a jog) down to Walton Reservoir. Or, is it Appleton Reservoir? www.zebraremovals.co.uk

Let it Be

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/08/09

When I'm feeling down, my beautiful princess sings to me. She learned 'Let It Be' for a school show about two years ago, and hasn't sung it since. I recorded her on my iPhone as she sang it from memory, and without any music. Not sure I could have remembered the melody from a song I sang once two years ago - and without music. So, despite it not (understandably) being perfect, I thought I'd create a short podcast here of her singing it to me last week in the kitchen. Stick one of these mics on your

Ghost Writing Busting

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/07/31

Ostensibly about Ghost Writing, I talk to radio legend and in demand 'Ghost Writer' Tony Horne about many things. As usual for my interview podcasts, there is no script or notes used. Here, Tony showed me exactly how it's done. The man weaves words like nobody I know. He's a genius. We simply sat around his garden, gorged on his BBQ and talked like old friends. Yet, this was our first ever meeting. Tony makes it sound so easy. I was in awe. Owing to us being under a slowly setting sun, you'll hear

iPhone iWalk

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/07/26

For this quick podcast, I thought I'd use my iPhone to record my wander across the fields. The audio quality is not as good as normal but I thought I'd try the inferior quality of the iPhone just to see how it would turn out. Anyway, that's why!

Bee Hive

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/07/25

I had a really interesting talk with children's author Simon Adepetun about his recently published novel 'The Bee Hive'. It is illustrated by his daughter Toni. It's available in good bookshops and on Amazon too. Check it out.

Real Backing Tracks

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/06/30

In this podcast, I chat to Craig Smith - the director of a new backing tracks company based in south Warrington. His company produces backing tracks that are played by real musicians for singers and instrumentalists. We had a coffee in my studio and chatted about his brand new company. Check his website - www.realbacking.com

Daresbury Hall Inferno

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/06/29

Here is a short podcast about the history of Daresbury Hall.

A Less Wonderland

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/05/28

A purposely confusing podcast here about Lewis Carroll and the delights of Daresbury and visiting 'a less wonderland' London. C'mon - 'A Less Wonderland' is a good pun!

Love Forever

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/05/22

Quite a lot of people have asked me to create further podcasts where I simply walk with my daughters. So, here's one! There is no real focus to it other than we walked down the lane next to our house and across to Walton reservoir whilst talking about their upcoming school trips to Venice and Anglesey. It was a hot late May day and I show off my botany skills!

Fiddlers Ferry Walk

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/04/14

Is there anything as wonderful as being with your family? As a follow up to the previous podcast focussed on Fiddlers Ferry, I took one of my daughters for a walk around the Ferry Tavern for 20 minutes where we had a look at the pub that got flooded a decade ago. We also chatted about the yachts and locks. and now redundant railway line. It was just a quick walk and chat with my precious princess on a grey, windy day. It was quite exhilarating for that reason.

Fiddlers Ferry

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/04/10

After suffering with some sort of virus for a week, I just about got my voice back to talk about Fiddlers Ferry and the walk across the fields towards Walton Reservoir that looks across towards the soon to be redundant power station that rises up on the horizon. And I had a couple of beers too.

Swings & Waterslides

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/03/06

Warrington has always had a rich, talented abundance of raw talent. For some reason, despite this talent, it has proven somewhat difficult for these bands and solo artists to break into the big time. This was all about to change. Viola Beach were about to break it big. But, an utterly dreadful event happened to one of the UK's brightest and talented bands.

Lost in the Ocean

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/02/01

'Money makes the world go round!' - That's the saying. Here, we consider different parochial sayings whilst wandering the high hill top south Warrington ridgeway that straddles the once open moss lands of Hatton, Stretton and Appleton Thorn. Along the way, listen to local musicians performing original and cover version songs.

01:48

Bowie - Let the Children Boogie

Radio Stockton Heath ·

2016/01/11

My humble recording and mix of my favourite David Bowie song. 1972 - Yours and my world changed forever when we saw David Bowie and Alice Cooper perform on Top of the Pops. I haven't recorded a voice-over for this podcast. All I've done is some studio trickery and used Bowie's isolated voice with my piano. I'll try and finish the whole song when I get time. So, for now, cherish those you have with you before they go. I know I want to.
