Never normally used to listen to his show but now it's part of locked-down day. Wonderful stuff. He's such a top bloke.
Robert - if you read these boards...then Good Work [Post edited 3 Apr 2020 14:20]

I don't always listen to it, but if I do, I normally download and listen to the previous day's episode on BBC Sounds so I can skip past the music (not that it's bad, I just skip past songs that I have already heard too many times).
He mentions QPR whenever he gets an opportunity. |  |

I got him to sign his book for me a couple of months back-top man. [Post edited 3 Apr 2020 16:33]

He thinks XTC are crap. He set Spandau Ballet on the world.
He supports The R’s and his radio show is entertaining.
It all averages out. |  | | |

I used to go out with his childminder about 15 years ago. We spent a couple of days with him and his family at his place in Spain. Really nice and down to earth people and of course, all R's!! |  | | |

I totally get what you mean about hearing songs too many times and Robert's show can do this a bit as well. However, his music is quite diverse for a daytime radio show. I have been listening on a fairly regular basis since the shows early days, more than 25 years back.
I have discovered artists that I may not have found otherwise, Ryan Adams, Lambchop, Yola (Phantom Limb), Geraint Watkins etc. Most of these I have since seen in concert and it has opened other avenues to explore with recordings and gigs.
I don't like every song he plays, I'm not a great soul or reggae fan, although I like many tracks and I have been converted, a little, to his funky Friday slot. I do love the fourfar and cover to cover sections that he does.
I concur with the other views expressed that it is a very interesting listen and I have experienced films, theatre and other places to visit as a result of what I have heard.
Since I moved to the 'deep south', he is my Saturday morning listening in the car on the way to Loftus Road. | | | |

I get the impression he plays music that he wants to play unlike most people on the radio. | | | |

Love all the London stories like the monkey jazz band that escaped in Latimer Road, Buffalo Bill stayed in my Grandmas B&B, The elephant buried under a roundabout in Ealing, The South London rope drawn railway.
Countless others, just wish Robert would write a book with them all in it. |  | | |

Any Beatles songs are banned from his show.
Another good reason to listen to Mr Elmes |  |

He doesn't like Queen or The Smiths.
Good sense. Queen were quite good but vastly over rated and over played. Morrisey drones on and on but Johnny Marr is pretty good. | | | |

Reading that at the moment. The one about London. Very enjoyable. |  | | |

We have him on the radio occasionally at work, when we’re on a quiet job. Strangely, the London lads who work with me are not keen on his voice, think he’s a bit strained or lashing it on, though they usually enjoy the topics of the day. They do like that nice Jo Good though, ‘specially when I told ‘em she was a right little strumpet. | |
