I usually put the finishing touches to each week’s new live show on a Sunday (for that read: “I always leave it to the last minute to start preparing my show”) which inevitably means a little while spent at the PC doing stuff so everything is ready and raring to go come Monday, but last weekend it didn’t go quite to plan. No sooner had I turfed Nathan out of the computer chair on Sunday morning and taken my rightful place at the hub of “DJ Neil Matthew HQ” than a sudden “blueness” covered the screen and some rather scary words appeared including “fatal” and “error”. Luckily, this wasn’t the first time I had experienced this situation and remembered that before, both me and my beloved PC came out of it relatively unscathed. I just had to remember HOW!!! To cut a long story short, Nathan’s mum popped round our house, being a bit of an IT whizz and bingo! Here I am de-stressed and writing another fabulous blog for you…
OK, some of the tunes you’ll hear this week aren’t the ones I had initially intended as I had to rely on CDs and a few previously created MP3s , but they are all crackers and we had a good show – hear it for yourself when it is repeated at 5pm this Saturday.
