On this month's Music Discovery I was joined in the Soho Radio studio by the producer Kloyd ahead of the release of her new EP Høurglass out June 7th on Cross Country Records.
We talk all about that, her start in music, future plans, the live show, California road trips and get nostalgic about hugging the speakers at Sub Dub nights in Leeds back in the day! Kloyd has already supported Barry Can't Swim and played shows with pals Jacana People, previous guests on the show. She's absolutely one to watch. Video and show link below. Thanks for watching! Back soon with more.

For this month's interview I had a real legend of UK music on the show Alice Russell. She has just released a new studio album "I Am" on Tru Thoughts and is fresh from a headline show at London's Village Underground.
The album was created with some big life changes and losses in the rearview mirror for Alice, her journey into motherhood at the same time as her father passing away. She spoke so generously about grief and the themes on her most personal record yet. The album is really stunning and in this conversation from my Music Discovery programme on Soho Radio we speak about making the record, the last ten years between albums, how the music industry has changed since Alice started, whether Alice influences her children's music taste and her plans for touring I Am. Watch the video below or listen back to the show.
This month's guest on Music Discovery is the very talented singer song-writer Daudi Matsiko.
The Nottingham based, British-Ugandan artist joined me on Soho Radio off the back of his debut album release The King of Misery earlier this year. He and Georgie talk about articulating grief, about embracing the misery in music, going down week long self-production rabbit holes and about a horrific story that informed the track Derby's Dose. Trigger Warming: sexual abuse, racism. What a pleasure it was to hear more about the making of The King of Misery, an album that personally meant a lot to me during a difficult couple of months. Despite the heavy subject matter the conversation was really lovely! Listen back to more of Georgie's programmes on Mixcloud with guests including Alice Russell, Joy Anonymous, Art School Girlfriend, Cubicolor, Pigeon and many more... https://www.mixcloud.com/GeorgieRogers/stream/ I'm back on Soho Radio on Tuesday 7th May with another instalment of Music Discovery.
For my final show of 2023 I welcomed into the studio the hottest new band around 86TVs. Formed out of the ashes of The Maccabees the band features Felix and Hugo White alongside their other brother Will White and Jamie Morrison of Noisettes fame they've already signed a record deal with Parlophone and locked down some sold out UK tours.
They came into Soho radio on my Music Discovery show speaking about the two singles out in the world currently Worn Out Buildings and Higher Love. They also provided many lols going through all the band names that were left on the cutting room floor! Lots to look forward to from 86TVs in 2024. Watch the video below or listen to the show.

This month's guests on my Soho Radio Music Discovery programme are South London band Meatraffle. Bandmates Zsa Zsa Sapien, Cloudy Truffles, Chris 0C and Tingle lungfish joined me live in the studio as they were about to release their third studio album Base and Superstructure on Blang Records on 29th September.
In the interview they talk about memorable Meatraffle band moments and the time they played to a naked crowd! how they started the band at a Beatles tribute charity show and about beginning the writing process for this album during the lockdowns. Check out more videos from the programme on my You Tube channel or listen to the radio shows on my stream on Mixcloud - both below.

My latest interview on Music Discovery on Soho Radio is with the awesome band Pigeon. Pigeon is a band formed out of Margate, England starring Falle Nioke, Tom Dream, Josh Ludlow, Graham Godfrey and Steve Pringle. The latter two play with Michael Kiwankua.
Falle, Josh and Tom came in live on the show and we discussed starting the band in a jam session after a crushing football defeat for England, the first two EPs, an eclectic set of influences, plans for an album and how Falle's chair dancing at their gigs has become a bit of a vibe! If you like your afro-disco with a little sprinkling of psych, jazz and rock n roll you'll love their music.

The most excellent musician and producer Art School Girlfriend dropped by my latest Music Discovery show on Soho Radio last week and here's our conversation and the show.
Polly Mackey releases her second studio album Soft Landing on Fiction Records on August 2nd so we got into the details of writing that, about living room studios and Paul Epworth's Church actual studios, putting out the first album during pandemic times and how this one has felt quicker with a very clear manifesto and vision for it. She also talks about the constraints of touring on artists and having multiple set ups for live depending on how streamlined it needs to be because of the cost of touring now. The new single Real Life was just put online two days after the chat so you can go and check out that and listen to her music on all streaming platforms.

While Finn, Owen and Jess Mills (SLO) have all done loads of music over the years it was their FIRST band interview for the project ? Lucky us! They chatted about its conception, their first EP, working with Ali Chant, Finn and Jess doing a lot of the writing at home while doing domestic things like feeding their kids, then said kids being very musical, the new single Open and their future plans for Do No Harm.

The brilliant talent that is Gus Harvey joined me in the studio on my latest Music Discovery programme on Soho Radio. Gus is back with an amazing new single Easy Pt 1 from a new EP incoming on the House Anxiety label.
We also dug into her back catalogue playing an oldie titled Durga and I asked her to bring in an inspiration track so she brought the vinyl of the incredible Mood Valiant album by Hiatus Kaiyote. It even matched her outfit!! ♥️ So Gus and I go way back. I've been a fan of her work since the very start of her career giving her debut single Witches its very first radio airplay nationally in the UK on my Virgin Radio new music show. Since then we have kept in touch and so it was such a treat to be able to have Gus on the show live to talk all about love, how the pandemic changed her writing process and the running theme of the elements weaved throughout her EPs. Watch our conversation or listen back to the show on Mixcloud below:
Mera Bhai AKA Karthik Poduval the multi-instrumentalist, producer, DJ and drummer in the Psych band Flamingods is the latest guest in the studio on my Music Discovery show on Soho Radio. His second EP Relax Into Yourself is out on April 6th on his own label Raga Records.
We go deep into the themes of the new tracks, growing up across various continents and how that shaped his musical DNA and working with collaborators such as Stealing Sheep and Maria Uzor formerly of Sink Ya Teeth.
