Ian will be appearing on BBC Radio Merseyside’s Billy Butler show this Tuesday at 2.30pm. Billy is easily Liverpool’s most famous and long-lasting DJ. He is also a huge Amsterdam fan.

Ian will be playing a couple of acoustic tunes and chatting to Billy about the forthcoming Mathew Street festival in August as well as discussing Ian’s poetry which can be read at www.myspace.com/northernson.

Those outside of Merseyside can listen in live at www.bbc.co.uk/england/radiomerseyside/.

Don’t forget that there will be an Amsterdam acoustic performance this coming Thursday at Bar One in Hoylake – full details are in the live section of the site.
