Yes, it is a lovely Fringe. You may know that Radio 1's Big Weekend is happening this weekend in Preston. The line up is huuuuge, and there's a mighty strong week of Fringe gigs leading up to it too.

This week on the show one of the main artists from the Big Weekend, Sam from Get Cape.Wear Cape.Fly will be joining me in the studio as we play some of the bands playing the Fringe, and Sam will be bringing some of his favourite new music on his new label and from elsewhere in to play....

Also in preston I'll be there on the Friday for a panel on the beast of a thing they call the Music Industry...
