Omagh is my home. Nobody in Omagh of rational mind supports violence. My school class mate Ronan Kerr, a young police officer was murdered 12 years ago. It shocked the Country. We can't go back to this absolute bull shit!
I've seen a lot of Sam Fender fans giving out about his cancelled show. It takes big decisions to cancel a show it's not like pulling a sickie from your Saturday job. Clearly the guy either is ill, needs a break or something else deep. Stop being so heartless
Right... Here we go. I'm leaving Radio 1 on December 21st.ย

The lads from
@the1975
have always split opinion between my friends. I'm firmly on the side of let the fucking weirdo's make great emo tunes and puzzling art then sit back and enjoy it. They do it better and different than anyone else. If you disagree don't listen to them

The Chillest Show is what I am most proud of during my time at R1. I along with my amazing producers built that show from scratch with the idea of creating a programme that was there to nourish the tender souls of Sunday evening with vibey alternative sounds 8/11

Live Listening Party at 9pm on Discord!
My first R1 Xmas Party in 2011 I tripped and spilt Annie Mac's wine over Pete Tong about 5 minutes after arriving then went over and introduced myself to the boss (who I hadn't met) who said 'I know who you are I hired you'

Christmas party this year. Weirdest thing that happened to me; my first one, 1999. Fell asleep in the stairs of the club it was in (I was 18). Woke up to find

***New Radio Show***
Starting next Friday Oct 16th at 6pm I've got a new show starting on
@bbcradioulster
Back to where it started!
Expect the reverse of my Sunday night show. 'The Music Scene Time Machine' is a weekly journey into the history of dancefloor and party records
I really needed that trip home! I feel re-energised to get back at it. The last few months had really been like sludging through a swamp. I'm excited again
I've had therapists, NHS Doctors and countless other people tell me how the show helps them and others and for me that is the biggest complement.
I leave the show having doubled it's online numbers over the last year and made that Rajar graph point in the right directionย 9/11
If schools close.... BBC also announcing a daily educational show for key stages and year groups on iPlayer, expanding BBC Bitesize, educational podcasts etc and BBC Four doing shows on A Level and GCSE curriculum.
Oh My God! ChillDaBeats has just been nominated for a
@radioacademy
Award!!! WTF! It's a grassroots production and a team of one and it's up for one of the biggest awards in Specialist Music. My mind is blown!

Radio 1 Piano Session Collab and it's broken me. Its prob the best we've ever had. I'll be playing live from 7pm tomorrow
Getting big energy from this press conference of the time when I was 13 I threw a bag of crisps at a teacher in Super Valu and had to read my statement out the next day in front of the teacher and the Vice Principle
