Bobby Motherwell
Show times: Filling in the gaps on the “Mumbling Around Midnight” slot until a vacancy arises. Check out my facebook page for updates and show times.
About the show: My own mix of favourites from times gone by to current indie and mainstream talent, and some oddities along the way.
From Admiral Fallow to Zappa and all the extremities in between (no Beatles tho’). I’ll play your requests and do my best to showcase new, up and coming Scottish bands.
Biog: I love music, guitars, climbing, motorbikes and my family. Director of an acoustics company and inventor of award winning midge busting machine. My past glories include winning the Biggart Baillie Innovation Award in 2008, spending 44 hours in a glass box above the Howwood Inn to raise money for Yorkhill Hospital as my alter ego Bobinabox, and my current big boy project which involves not quite getting to the top of all of Scotlands munros as my new creation the MunroBlagger.
My favourite quote at the moment is “Good advice is something a man gives when he is too old to set a bad example”
1: Describe yourself in 5 words.
Son, Heir, Shyness, Criminally, Vulgar
2: What is the best song ever written?
Simple Twist of Fate by Bob Dylan. That’s an impossible question to answer, but I’ve just done it.
3: Complete the following sentence:
“The world would be a better place if …… We listened to Dylan, Morrissey and Nick Cave every day. And some Ivor Cutler too.”
4: Describe your perfect day.
Sunday. Every time.
5: What’s in the perfect sandwich?
A nice strong cheddar with beetroot on wholemeal bread. I thought I’d answer that one literally.



Hello Bobby, Greetingzz from the Netherlands. Yes I’m that one listener through the internet in Holland. Funny to hear you like that. When is your next show? Can you play something for Marion and me? Marion likes David Bowie, the Smiths, T-Rex or the song ‘Marlene On The Wall’ from Suzanne Vega wich is our song from when we met in june ’86.
Hope to hear (from you) on the internet.
Bye from your fan in Holland,
Herman Eberstadt van der Velden
Dordrecht, the Netherlands
Herman, Great to hear from you and Marion and glad that you can listen in all the way from Holland. I’ll get your request on the next show and confirm to you when it goes out via Facebook.
Cheers
Bobby
Could you play your very favourite song for my three friends Arlene, Corinne and Irene … my Himalayian buddies x
