KEEP THIS FREQUENCY CLEAR!

Keep This Frequency Clear!

Radio is one of our most loved and respected mediums. It has launched careers, created trends and championed the best music. It continues to be one of the trusted forms of communication in the media landscape.

As part of a new six part series moderated by broadcaster Edward Adoo in partnership with Soho House 'Keep This Frequency Clear' will feature many of those household names who set the foundation and made UK radio what it is today. 

To launch the series Edward will be joined by Kiss FM founder and Mi-Soul Radio managing director Gordon Mac MBE to explore his timeline in broadcasting. It will be an intimate conversation with Soho House members and guests invited to take part, watch and ask questions at the end.

Keep This Frequency Clear will launch on 14th October at Soho House 76 Dean Street, London W1D 3SQ.

SISTER SLEDGE

One of the major highlights of 2023 was introducing legendary soul singer Kathy Sledge from Sister Sledge live on the stage at The Ned London. I have interviewed Kathy on numerous occasions on the radio but it was a pleasure to meet her. What a moment.

BBC Radio 5 Live - Up All Night

As you know I have dabbled presenting evening and overnight radio shows. I have been offered the chance to look after Up All Night for my good friend and legendary broadcaster Dotun Adebayo on BBC Radio 5 Live. Dotun is a great friend and someone I have always looked up to over the years for inspiration and guidance.

I regularly listen to Up All Night when I finish my DJ sets or working late. My connection with the programme stretches back to the late 2000s when I was a regular contributor alongside Jonathan Wingate joining Dotun live in the studio to add tracks on to the weekly ‘Virtual Jukebox’. Can’t wait to get stuck in. More details to follow.

BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: The Residency - Black Beats

BBC Radio Cambridgeshire - The Residency: ​Black Beats press release - December 2018. 

As part of the​ recent revamped evening schedule on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, The Residency​​ give​s​ ​​listeners a​ weekly​ opportunity to ​talk about a local fascination, a chance to share great stories and memories with the county.  

​​Throughout December and January, Broadcaster, DJ and music tastemaker Edward Adoo will take over the reigns for a five week stint exploring black beats and sounds in Cambridgeshire with help from listeners, DJs, artists and people who have made the black music scene in Cambridgeshire what it is today.

Edward explains why he is overjoyed at the opportunity to take listeners directly on to the dancefloor and introduce them to the people who are part of that scene... 

"Black music, past, present and future has major roots in the Cambridgeshire area from Peterborough to Cambridge and beyond. There are stories, weekly nights and experiences that are often told but never get mentioned. I'll be able to explore this over five weeks ​with help from listeners ​through black beats and sounds on The Residency by celebrating the eclectic sounds of black music in all forms from Reggae, Soul, Disco, R&B, Hip Hop to House and beyond taking listeners directly on to the dancefloor." 

Edward will also showcase live music sessions from artists who are part of the current scene, guest DJ mixes from local DJs along with tipping his 'Future Stars' through BBC Music Introducing in Cambridgeshire and the wider independent local scene. The weekly two hour show will be a celebration of black music in Cambridgeshire.
