I'm on the Radio every Monday 8.05 til 10pm BBC Radio Scotland - check out the cutting edge of new music from Scotland and beyond! After buying a pile of Adam & The Ants records as a wee boy, I launched myself head-first into punk rock and new wave after witnessing my first live concert by The Damned in 1985, and as the obsession grew so did the record collection.
On leaving school, I immersed myself in rock'n'roll and all the trimmings! I formed a band, got into recording and performing music and also managed to busk my way around Europe for 6 months! I currently write, perform and produce music on my own, and will get some new stuff online at some point soon.
I've worked in the other side of the music industry - writing for fanzines, working as a venue lighting director in Edinburgh, helping to set up and develop independent labels, and working as press and radio promoter. My journey into Radio wasn't planned, so when prompted to make a tape for this new regional BBC Radio 1 show I obliged and to my surprise, got the job. That was over 11 years ago and came to an end at the end of 2010.
However, I'm lucky enough to do another new-music show on BBC Radio Scotland. This happens every Monday at 8.05pm. Check www.bbc.co.uk/vicgalloway
You'll occasionally see me on the TV too, as I've presented a series of 'The Music Show' and 5 different years of BBC coverage at 'T in the Park', as well as bits for Channel 4's 'Transmission' etc.
I also like to get out and DJ in other clubs and student unions across the UK and abroad when asked! If you want me to play in your place, please contact my agent, Andy Varley at Insanity Artists www.insanitygroup.com
To top it off, I do freelance work for papers, magazines and websites; and work as a Specialist Music Advisor for the Creative Scotland www.creativescotland.com
I live in Edinburgh, like getting tattooed, eat spicy food and want World peace!
