ALBARN TURNS RADIO DJ

Former BLUR frontman DAMON ALBARN is turning his hand to DJ-ing with a two-hour radio show. The singer, currently fronting THE GOOD, THE BAD + THE QUEEN, will host the slot on Britain's XFM on Sunday (08APR07). The show is billed as a "tour of his personal record collection" and will be followed with a session from Welsh rockers MANIC STREET PREACHERS in May (07). The band's frontman JAMES DEAN BRADFIELD says, "Although we have spent many hours in radio studios over the years, this will be the first time that we have actually been handed the reins to chat about and play the music that we are passionate about."
