Your Hosts
Ian Prowse
Born in Chester and raised in Ellesmere Port, Ian has spent decades refusing to slow down, fronting cult bands Pele and Amsterdam with the enthusiasm of a man who still believes every gig might change the world (It deffo can!).
A master of rabble-rousing, Celtic-tinged anthems and emotional sledgehammer choruses. Checkout where to catch him live here: amsterdam-music.com. A self-styled “typical left-wing gobshite”, he somehow also squeezed in a history degree and a masters in Irish Studies. Still touring, still writing, and still loud, he remains gloriously incapable of doing anything by halves, ever or otherwise.
Mick Ord
Born in Liverpool, Mick has spent most of his life on Merseyside. However, after jobs ranging from a jacuzzi deck-builder in California to tobacco-picking in Ontario, he joined the BBC in the 80’s, eventually becoming Radio Merseyside’s longest-serving manager.
Despite being dubbed “tone-deaf” at school, he developed eclectic musical tastes spanning Scott Walker to The Fall (and Ian Prowse, of course). He now runs media consultancy mickord.com, specialising in media and crisis communications training, and remains a frustrated musician, writer, presenter and perennially disappointed Everton fan.
