On the radio
I can’t imagine my life without music
TotallyTabi is my weekly magazine show, live on air every Friday from noon until 3pm on Alive 107.3fm. It’s best enjoyed with coffee and cake. Turn up the volume too, sing along, and dance like no-one’s watching, even they are.
Not long after starting to broadcast for Alive I’m delighted to say I developed the reputation as the station’s reigning Disco Queen - a fact I’m rather proud of. But my musical tastes are wider than just Disco. When you tune in get ready to listen to all sorts. I do love disco, but I’m also partial to R&B, soul, classical, electronic, funk, punk, pop, and electronic dance music, so I’ll play a wide variety of great tracks from the early days of recorded music right through to present day. I like playing tracks we don’t normally hear on the radio and I am always on the look out for world music. I love seeking out the fantastic tracks coming out of Europe and across the world - Charlotte Gainsbourg, Christine and the Queens, Art Bat, Tame Impala, too many to mention.
Each week I’ll feature an album or a great soundtrack from a movie or tv series. Previous features include the music from Spike Lee’s ‘Da 5 Bloods’, the awesome Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross soundtrack from Watchmen, the DEVS soundtrack. I even did a feature on the Bond themes, all of them except Sam Smith, sorry not sorry.
For the magazine element I share the latest news from the very best of the literature, arts & culture scene here in Dumfries & Galloway, around Scotland, the UK, and the world. You’ll hear me talk about movies, tv, new music, gigs, travel, literature, theatre, entertainment, food, and cake, always cake, fuelled by coffee, lots of coffee. Three hours of TotallyTabi is like hanging out with me for a coffee and a blether, with a fab soundtrack.
Each week I transfer my radio playlist to Spotify, you can find my most recent playlist on my Radio page. In the mean time, ere’s the playlist which featured tracks from ‘Da 5 Bloods’.
