Tis' me again!
I'm having a really bad time of it at the moment, not only have I got embarrasing nasal hair, not only have I had a root canal which has become infected but I know have a mouse in my house! More about that in just a moment....

'Tis only me again with another quick bloggy update thingy for ya!
Yesterday on the show live from Seaside Towers, we had Andy & Bob on from 'Dr. Jeckyll's Secretary' who were a good laugh. Andy is the lead singer in the band and Bob plays bass, although how I'm not quite sure as he is as deaf as a post! I had to give him a pair of headphones that were cranked right up for him to be able to hear whet I was saying! Andy explained how the name came about and told me about some of the songs the newly formed band perform.
If you want to see them then Queens Head in Hedon this Thursday is the place to be. Call the pub for more details on 01482 891432.What else did we do yesterday? Well we also had comedian Chris Mayo on the show via a dodgy mobile phone call! Chris was actually travelling up to Hull on the train and his signal cut out twice! Still, I think we got out of him what we needed to know!
Howdy!
Welcome to the official show page for my Sunday afternoon show.
So, what's this Mike Brown Radio Show thing all about then?!
Regular listeners will know that it's bit off the wall, a bit random and very anoraky. I like to think of it as a bit of an experiment mixing what radio used to sound like with the the better parts of today's radio.
Musically, it's an eclectic mix of indie, rock, dance, soul and what ever comes out of box next!
I don't do requests as all I've ever been asked for is stuff that you can already hear on other radio stations, although if you can think of anything decent you can email me.
On the show this week:
- 'Radio Err...' at 2.40
- 'The Same Old Song' at 4.40
- 'The Seaside FM Soul Train' between 5-6pm.
Past Guests
We've already had the follwing people on the show...
- Andy Train, a comedian & nurse from Hull.
- Alan Canvess from Hull & East Riding Campaign for Real Ale. Alan popped down to encourage people to support their local public houses & drink real ale & cider. He was also looking for new members to join the local CAMRA branch.
- Frank Sidebottom who did some performed on his keyboard for 2 hours, but then he had to go to do some shopping for his Mum!

- Comedian Trevor Lock, who was shopping at H&M in St.Stephen's, Hull when we rang him! Frank Sidebottom (who was a guest on the same show) asked him how much money he had on him, he said 15 quid! It was a surreal interview to say the least!
