Daniel Kitson's Listening Club - 01:30 - 04:30am. Early
morning or a late night, Perrier Award winning wag Kitson guards the Resonance
FM graveyard with stealth and a whacking great lump of pith and strictly no fey
indie records. Actually, that last bit is a lie Daniel's show is crammed full of
fey indie and alt country.

A Reason To Wake Up
Complete

May 2018
For just under three weeks in May, every weekday except
Wednesday, Daniel Kitson will wake up at 6 am, get dressed, make himself a
nice coffee, ride his bike to Borough in south London and let himself into
the studios of Resonance FM using a key code and a special fob. Once inside,
he'll reassure himself as to the probable absence of murderers in the
building, turn the desk on, make a cup of tea, almost certainly go to the
toilet before, at 7am exactly, presenting a radio show for two hours until
9am. After that, the day's his own.

Last year, in May, i did three or four weeks of
radio shows between 7 and 9 am on the London based but globally
available community arts radio station - Resonance FM. It was a lot of
fun - i got to get up early, ride my bike into town, let myself into an
empty building and play songs i liked or had never heard before for a
couple of hours, whilst having a bit of chat in between songs like how
Radio disc Jockeys do* - You get me?
Well, you'll never bloody well guess what - i'm only bloody doing it again aren't I?
*There was one day where i didn't say anything actually, apart from goodbye after two hours of banging jams - because i am constantly pushing the form/deep into some heavy vibes.

February/March 2025: Finishing A Job
A special series with Daniel Kitson during our
Annual Fundraiser - it's live, it's not repeated and not archived. "The
idea for these shows came from sorting through all my CDs at the end of
November. I thought it would take three days and it took me nearly three
weeks because cases were empty, CDs were loose, things were stuck on
them etc. I washed them and got them back in their boxes and then
started deciding which ones I was going to keep. I ended up with three
piles: Keeping; Charity Shop; Listen to then Make a Decision. There were
around 500 CDs in that third pile. I dropped them off to Resonance
mid-December and the music on these shows comes exclusively from that
pile. I'll have a listen and then decide whether I'm keeping it. The
ones I'm not keeping, I'll drop at a charity shop on the way
home.
n.b. this run of shows was originally scheduled to continue on all weekdays throughout February, but due to illness, the remaining performances were rescheduled for March..

Fiction
A fictionalised version of Daniel Kitson appears in both of Tim Key's lockdown
anthologies. In the first, the character of 'Daniel' is described simply as "Bald
guy. Made for lockdowns. Specs. Bread flour. Sage." and in the second as: "Born to
lock down. Inch-thick spectacles. Fogey cords. Checks in regularly. Owns a kiln."
The first chapter of 2020's He Used Thought as a Wife can be found
here. The books are available directly from the publisher "Utter" & Press.
Autobiographies
A number of Daniel's peers have referenced him in their books. Here's a
