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
Edited
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.

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 non-exhaustive list of passages of interest.
