December's show guest was Ben Romans-Hopcraft from Warmduscher. Ben's been in multiple bands from Kindness to Insecure Men, Miss Tiny with super producer Dan Carey, producing for lots of other artists and he's a key part of Warmduscher as their bassist and co-producing their most recent fifth studio album Too Cold To Hold.

He joined Georgie in the studio on her Soho Radio Music Discovery monthly programme just before Christmas. The band were fresh off their UK and European tour with a massive London Troxy show to finish and he chatted all things Warmduscher, Miss Tiny, producing, what it would be like for WD if they were starting out now, writing, album inspiration as well as bringing in an incredible Stevie Wonder vinyl from The Secret Life of Plants.

And check out past interviews on the channel with guests including Moonchild Sanelly, Alice Russell, Art School Girlfriend, Joy Anonymous, Kloyd, Daudi, Nuha Ruby Ra, Julia-Sophie, Pigeon, All Them Witches and many more.

This month I had the South African musician Moonchild Sanelly in the studio on my Music Discovery show on Soho Radio.

Moonchild Sanelly releases her third studio album Full Moon on January 10th 2025 and has been in the UK on tour in recent weeks so dropped by the studio. This was such a fun conversation. Moonchild covers all things from the making of the album, her journey coming up in music in the Durban poetry scene and a more alternative scene in Johannesburg, juggling living out her dreams and being a mum.  We discuss being Scorpio sisters ;-) and how Moonchild achieves her future ghetto funk sound and the epic signature energy in her music as well as the massive collaborative single from this year 'Big Man' with Self Esteem.  Fans will be excited to know she tees up that another track they did together is going to see the light of day.

She returns in March for a full UK tour. Grab your ticket. Not to be missed!

Watch the whole conversation here and past interviews this year on the Georgie Rogers Presents You Tube channel with the likes of Lawrence Hart, Julia-Sophie, Alice Russell, Daudi, Kloyd and many more.

Georgie will be back on Soho Radio on Tuesday 17th December at Midday-2pm with Warmduscher coming in.

This month's guest on my Music Discovery radio show on Soho Radio is the multi-instrumentalist, producer and beat maker Lawrence Hart. He's fresh off the back of two singles released on Domino Records' Double Six 'Hear Ur Heartbeat' and 'Just Belong' as well as some bootleg edits including a smasher with Mera Bhai on a Jungle edit of Girls Aloud 'Sound of the Underground'.

It was great to hear more about his music, craft and future plans.  Watch the video of our conversation below or listen back to the show on the Mixcloud link.

This month's guest interview on my Music Discovery show on Soho Radio is the singer-songwriter Hayden Thorpe. 

The former frontman of Wild Beasts releases his third solo album Ness on 27th September 2024 via Domino Recordings. 

The concept album of sorts was inspired by the writing of Robert MacFarlane about Orford Ness, a National Trust site in Suffolk which has been re-wilded since it was a nuclear test site during the world wars and cold war. 

Hayden shares the stories of making of the album, its contributors, the sonic world he created, a love song about lichen and moss! on 'She', spending time at Ness while writing and plans for what's next.

My next guest on my Music Discovery programme on Soho Radio is the very talented singer songwriter and producer Julia-Sophie, an English-French artist based in Oxford. 

She has finally released her wonderful debut album Forgive Too Slow on Ba Da Bing! Records. 

We had such a lovely conversation about the record and how the record almost stayed abandoned on a dropbox link forever, nearly giving up music all together, her psychotherapy studies and much more.

I've supported Jules from the beginning of her solo career and so it was dreamy to finally meet her IRL and have her on the show.​

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.
