Balance Monthly Show - June 2022 and an ANNOUNCEMENT

  • S22E44

  • June 4th 2022

 Due to the damage caused by a mains water pipe bursting in our new studio building – NuDirections FM will be off air for all of June 2022 and a few weeks of July 2022 - due to the damage caused to the building structure and our equipment - we will be back – better, bigger and boulder.

I took the decision to move into bigger premises as NDFMmusic is growing to a global listenership of over 32,000 in 43 countries – sadly our plans to expand will be delayed – but I would like to thank you all personally for the overwhelming support you have given NDFMmusic

Jazz Matters

Jazz Matters is a not-for-profit hobby project that I’m extremely proud of.

It began life in May 2021 as NuDirections, a weekly radio show on a London community station. That spirit of discovery still runs through everything I do.

But today, Jazz Matters has evolved into a global podcast platform for Jazz and World music lovers — reaching over 40,000 open-minded listeners across 57 countries on more than 24 platforms.2025/6 marks a new era. My love of music has always gone beyond Jazz, so I’ve created two distinct but connected spaces here

Jazz Matters: Podcasts, Playlists and Music Videos.

Jazz Lines: Blogs, Interviews, Gallery & Pulse for Who's Shaping the Scene.

I’m also preparing a full digital relaunch from my new studio, from 1st May 2026, then every Jazz Matters podcast, mix, and special will stream exclusively from my website—no third-party platforms and no algorithms. Until then, you can listen here and on 24+ podcast platforms. 

Alongside the music, you’ll find in Jazz Lines, my platform for blogs, interviews, gallery, and pulse that links to things that catch my ear and eye. A bold new chapter begins soon. New location. New music player. New studio.

Jazz Matters. Because the music — and everything around it — truly does.

Enjoy the music I love
