J Wilgoose Esq is a bit of an introducing favourite of ours. He goes by the name of Public Service Broadcasting and uses bits of old public information films, banjo, guitar, and various electronics to make some wonderful music.

He's created a new live show that is playing at the Edinburgh fringe this week, it involves according to Mr Wilgoose

"guitar-playing, banjo-plucking, button-pressing and even theremin-wafting - plus the very latest in bow tie couture, with visuals provided by a state of the art 1960s TV set"

J will be joining us on 6Music Introducing this Sunday to tell us how the show has been going. While you wait here is one of the new batch of videos made for his Edinburgh performances

A few weeks ago drummer George Whalley in Leeds recommended a howling mad track to us called "Incredible Weapons" by his band Broohaha. We loved it, rushed it on air, and a week later the following handwritten screed on fake parchment arrived in our office addressed to myself and producer Tom Whalley (no relation):

I have to admit this is a first - not only on our 6 Music Introducing show - but actually in the entire 25 years I've been playing records on the radio. They describe their music as "an accumulation of influences, experience and expression - an attempt to find an equal balance between want and necessity" and you can hear for yourself what the results sound like at https://soundcloud.com/broohaha
