Billy Watson here with some music, images and a bit of Trivia UK. My uploads are mainly lesser known tracks that I'd like to see get more exposure. My full music taste is reflected in my weekly radio show The Beat Retreat on www.lionheartradio.com broadcasting from Northumberland, England every Monday 19.00 - 21.30 GMT including the Elsewhere Hour at 20.00 GMT.
I also have a quarterly radio show North East Music Special, featuring the finest artists from North East England, going out on the same radio station in the first Saturday in January, April, July and October 17.00 - 19.00 GMT.
Main music influences - David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno, The Beatles, Neil Finn, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young, Thomas Dolby, Sparks, Radiohead, Prefab Sprout, XTC, Ray Davies, Mick Ronson, Tim Finn...
First gig: T.Rex - Newcastle City Hall, 1972
First album: David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust 1972 (a mere RCA Records factory damaged copy!)
First album (bought new!): Lou Reed - Transformer 1972
