The Dukey Radio Show returns with a post EdinburghFringe Festival special. We've just got back from Scotland's capital, only just, and share our high and lowpoints including a car calamity, prat puppetry and a fecking fob. And we're pleased to welcome Silvia Silversmith and MarshaMacDonald back into the studio after a long absence.
We chat about lost fobs, a missing Volvo, supermarket class wars, breaking up a bloody fight between two pensioner women and a Fan Doc about Fan Doc Addicts.
In addition:
- Oingo Boingo features once again in Dwarves in Videos
- "Analyse This" examines Utopia's "Road to Utopia" - a song that is a weird Frankenstein of prog, disco, cheesy musical and American sitcom theme.
- Marsha MacDonald's "Overheard" analyses the month-long subplot of an Edinburgh sound byte.

The Dukey Radio Show is back and your host is flying solo while exploring:
- Dodgy excuses for interview cancellations.
- The unexpected allure of farting goats at a music festival.
- Targeting Morrissey, Samuel Becket and Ken Loach fans with a unique Super Food trial.
- Pitching the idea of a weight loss show, that's aimed specifically at the nearly dead, to Dr. Michael Mosely.
In addition:
- Slutty Sue discusses the attraction of a pitched tent in her post-Glasters report.
- “Cover of a Cover” returns with aThey Might Be Giants classic.
- We’ll find out what smells in Dukey’s car.
- “Dwarves in Videos” puts Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo under the spotlight by examining a music promo for “Little Girls” that really hasn’t dated well. And not because of the vertically challenged extras featured in it. They're fab.
- Our resident pensioner, Irene, sings the Tour de France theme song. And describes how the coverage has inspired her to get husband Roy back in the saddle while donning pyjamas. And doing stuff with "rubbery, rubbery things".

It’s an absolute honour to welcome into the Dukey Radio Show studio Billy Ritchie. The man who invented prog. And he really did.
Dukey first heard about our guest’s innovative music endeavours with the band 123 and later, Clouds, through recent guest Bruce Thomas’s book “Rough Notes”. And, in a recent prog-themed special on this very show, Dave Dawson and Dukey waxed lyrical about Billy Ritchie’s influence on the likes of Yes and Emerson Lake & Palmer.
In this final instalment of our three part interview with Billy, we chat about Clouds' final gig in 1971 - an experience that triggered our guest's prolonged disappearance from the music industry.
In addition we explore what he and his fellow bandmates got up to after the trio's split and how Billy has come to terms with his musical history AND legacy.
In addition, we chat about:
- Billy Ritchie's catalogue of 1000 frustratingly unheard songs.
- Jon Anderson of Yes's acknowledgment of 123's influence on his band.
- Drummer Harry's experience of giving lessons to both Bill Bruford & Carl Palmer
- The downside to being a musical innovator.
- Our guest's forthcoming appearance on Sky Arts' "Trailblazers of Prog" television series.

Dukey welcomes into the studio Die Kur - a London based industrial metal band with a charismatic Italian-born frontman named Ays at the helm. Both he and the group's new guitarist Tony, whose late arrival is punctuated by an impromptu outburst from Molly (TDRS's dog), chat about their new double album Manifesto and their respective favourite words. They also extrapolate on what it's like to upset Health & Safety officials at venues up and down the country with their flame-throwing antics onstage.

Dukey first heard about our guest’s innovative music endeavours with the band 123 and later, Clouds, through recent guest Bruce Thomas’s book “Rough Notes”. And, in a recent prog-themed special on this very show, Dave Dawson and Dukey waxed lyrical about Billy Ritchie’s influence on the likes of Yes and Emerson Lake & Palmer.
In this second instalment of our three part interview with Billy, we chat in depth about our guest’s time with the band Clouds until the trio’s split in 1971 and investigate the group’s chemistry both off and on the stage. And explore the pros and cons of being ahead of their time on the music front further.
In addition we discuss the “American” problem where a band plays to tens of thousands on one side of the pond while largely entertaining hundreds back on home turf.
And Billy also enlightens us about:
- Fixing David Bowie up with girls
- The control freakery of the legend that is Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull.
- Being mistaken for Francis Rossi after appearing on TOTP
- Signing and breaking away from Chrysalis Records
- Having a run-in with David Bowie and patching things up with the thin white duke four decades later
- Being “far out” in the states
- Discussing “good shit” with Paul Rodgers
- And how proving that the trio were “true Scotsman” in the kilt stakes proved to be beneficial for the band and a source of fear for parents everywhere the group roamed.

It’s an absolute honour to welcome into the Dukey Radio Show studio Billy Ritchie. The man who invented prog. And he really did.
Dukey first heard about our guest’s innovative musical endeavours with the band 123 and later, Clouds,through recent guest Bruce Thomas’s book “Rough Notes”. And, in a recent prog-themed special on this very show, Dave Dawson and Dukey waxed lyrical about Billy Ritchie’s influence on the likes of Yes and Emerson Lake & Palmer. In this first instalment of our three-part interview with Billy, we chat about our guest’s early years in the music business
From finding his sound with TheSatellites and the Premiers in early 1960s Scotland to being signed up by The Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein while in the band 123 - we discover that innovation comes with quite a cost attached to it. In the same way that Marty McFly’s guitar antics were shocking to his 1955 audience in the film Back to the Future – Britain wasn’t quite ready for Billy Ritchie’s blueprint for prog in the mid 1960s. To say that his band 123 were a Marmite outfit would be an understatement. From requiring police escorts to save the band from audience dissent to becoming the toast of swinging London Town with their now legendary residency at the Marquee Club in front of future prog demi-gods carefully watching and taking notes – it wasn’t an easy ride. But Ritchie's influence spawned an entire musical movement that is still going strong today.
Billy also shares a rare solo home studio recording illustrating how his band 123 approached their friend DavidBowie’s track “I dig everything” back in the day.

In this instalment of The Dukey Radio Show, we welcome into the studio former Devilish Presley’s Jacqui V and John Henry from the band ‘Homes for the Elite’.
With today’s guest’s at its epicentre, 'Homes for the Elite' fuse humour, politics, a generous helping of expletives, punchy guitars, hypnotic bass and decidedly raucous vocals all to great effect.
They’re switched on, in every sense, and have a collective view on politics and music that’s refreshingly critical – an attitude that’s very welcome here at The Dukey Radio Show.
Dukey, Jacqui and John wax lyrical about mansplaining, conspiracy theories, the London housing crisis, Boris Johnson, the shortcomings of the BBC, bands they love, bands they hate, music venues in the UK and bunkers.

Joining Dukey in the studio this week is Starsha Lee.
Starsha Lee is a person.
And Starsha Lee is also a London based band.
Our guest is the singer from this musical outfit and also an artist who was recently an inadvertent victim of censorship from one of the world’s largest social networking sites.
But, for a band that describes themselves as "an inconvenient sound for inconvenient people" – this type of reaction is unsurprising.
To the uninitiated, Starsha Lee the vocalist possesses a unique register that cuts through the distinctive, driving and decidedly dirty guitars of Crispin Gray from Daisy Chainsaw, Queenadreena and The Dogbones fame.
Dukey & Starsha chat about art, music, marmite, philosophy and nipples.

In this special Prog Rock themed episode of TDRS, you’ll hear two men (of which our special guest, Dave Dawson, is one) happily bantering and babbling away with their respective heads in the Clouds. Clouds the band that is. Haven’t heard of them? You’re not alone. Neither had Dukey until recently.
When our studio guest met the keyboard player from Clouds, Billy Richie, while working as a jobbing singer at a notorious East End pub once owned by The Krays – the Scottish born master of the Hammond Organ mentioned an important aspect of his history as a musician. While comparing musical battle scars, as one does when you take on a new gig, Billy Ritchie politely indicated that he’d “invented prog”. And, as it turns out, he really did.
There's also a subtle tribute to the late Garry Shandling at the beginning of the podcast. RIP.
