Onkel Fish on Fridays

I found out this morning that Onkel Fish will soon have his own radio show called "Fish on Friday". It will air on the all-digital UK station Planet Rock which plays classic rock. From the man himself:

I have taken up a position of a broadcaster on Planet Rock with my own show, "Fish on Friday" kicking off on the 3rd March at 6 till 8pm. The show goes out every Friday (repeated on Sunday) until the end of June and I'll be playing an array of rock music including demos from "The Thirteenth Star". First show for example has King Crimson, Roger Waters, Genesis, Marillion, Led Zep, SAHB, the Faces - you get the drift! As well as stories behind songs and a plethora of anecdotes there's a weekly competition to win my entire catalogue of solo studio recordings with a draw from all who enter for a special prize for a lucky someone of a visit to the studio for the playback of the new album and dinner with me and the boys. I'm cooking! :-)

The station is licensed to stream via the web only to UK listeners but it asks for a post code for verification instead of filtering IP addresses. If all else fails, the show will no doubt be recorded and put on the Net by enterprising fans. Thirteenth Star is Fish's next album so it will be really neat to hear it come together over the next several months. Plus Fish's anecdotes are second to none.
