The Adam Walton interview… 

Before you started DJ-ing on radio wales you played in a couple of bands. Did you give up the bands as a result of the DJ job or were you in the musical wilderness before that?

I did my first radio show in June 1991. It was a run of seven half-hour shows on BBC Radio Clwyd called Burst that I was offered after telling local [to Mold] BBC Radio Clwyd celeb-D.J. Alan Daulby that Radio Clwyd was “fucking shit” because they didn’t play any of the music from the burgeoning local ‘scene’ [Daisychain, Akimbo, She Said, Goodnight Said Florence etc.] I didn’t do another Radio show until October 1994 because everything in my life was focused on the band [by then The Immediate], and ‘making it’. Unfortunately we didn’t have the talent, the wherewithall, the vision, or the ambition to achieve anything – it just took us seven years to realise it. It was a hell of a fucking dream, though, and a good dream to chase. One day the story will be told, even if I am the only one who’ll ever want to read it.More
