I host a regular slot on a radio show produced by my friend Prof. Murray and historically broadcast on Gaga Radio, though it is now self published. The show is called Clear A Space, and is a musical journey accompanying a lighthearted exploration of life and emotions. My section is Wait For The Moment and comprises a selection of some of my favourite jazz/funk/soul/hip-hop tunes revolving around a central emotion/vibe. Check out the episodes below.
