Rob Adcock is the face, voice and presenter of SUBCulture, the unsigned and new music show for the whole of Staffordshire & South Cheshire.
He's joined by Scott Jenkinson for the lowdown on the local music scene; and nationally-known music journalist Jen Thomas picks the best of the national new releases.
Current Show
Hello Subculture fans.
Both myself (Scott) and Rob agreed that tonight's show was one of our favourites so far, so I hope that you guys all enjoyed listening to it as much as we enjoyed presenting it. Remember you can hear it all again for the next seven days on iplayer.
Firstly some bad news. Tonight is our second week in a row with out our National music expert and eye candy of the team, Jen Thomas. Last week Jen was at Download Festival on both business and pleasure. This week she was in Paris with her boyfriend for just pleasure…
The good news is that the show was jam packed full of great local and national music, as well as myself and Rob keeping you entertained with chat and that. We discuss BBC Radio Ones visit to Stoke-On-Trent as well as the mystery of Rob Adcock's look-a-like impersonator. Not to forget regular references to social networking sites and of course Ipstones Edge.
Tonight local singer / songwriter Andy Robbins joined us on the show to chat about his music and play us 'Come Down' live in the studio.
The track is taken from his new album, 'Two Horses' which is available to purchase on local indie label 'We Like Danger'. He also played us his very own acoustic rendition of Madonna's hit single 'Ray Of Light' as you've never heard it before. Folking amazing.
Rob meets Jack Penate
Rob spoke to Jack Penate ahead of his gig at The Sugarmill last Saturday and we played a game of "Spanish band or slight of hand?" to celebrate Jack's Spanish heritage.
Next week Rob and Lee are away, so the show is pre recorded. It's made up off all the classic covers we've recorded over the past twenty weeks. So make sure you tune in for that.
Finally make sure you head down to the Sugarmill this Sunday for the 'Sunday For Sam' gig. It's £5 for a ticket and all the money made is being donated to the Donna Louise Trust. The gig will consist of sets from top local talent such as, Friends Of Ken and The Control. For the full band listing check out The Sugarmill's website.
Until next time, keep in contact on the Facebook group, on twitter or on myspace.
We love to social network.
Thanks for listening.
Scott.
