K-Rock - Ian Camfield

Ian Camfield (ˈkam-ˈfēld)
Afternoons 3PM-7PM

Ian hails from Essex, just outside of London. It’s kind of like Jersey but without so many Bon Jovi or Bruce Springsteen fans.

He worked for London’s first alternative rock station from the age of 19, but has wanted to be in the States since he first visited eight years ago. In fact, between then and now, he’s only ever taken vacations to the US. “The people are nice, rock music is everywhere and everything works” is Ian’s response as to why he loves it here so much.

Apparently in London the people are miserable, not everyone has heard of Metallica and nothing works!

Madonna
So I didn’t think I’d be writing about Madonna on my K-rock blog, but check this out!She did a gig at the weekend in Maidstone. That’s in Kent, in the UK, you don’t ever need to go. In fact to get there Madonna was flown in by hellicopter, even though her London house [...]

Metal Gods?..
Well what a week of Metal it’s been! Yesterday on the show Judas Priest dropped in. You can check out that interview elsewhere on this site. I am beyond excited about their new CD - a double album based on the life of Nostradamus! Lesser bands could have turned this into [...]

Gigs??..
What a great seven days for shows! I was at Taste Of Chaos last night. I missed the opening bands, which was annoying cos I’ve seen Bullet and Atreyu loads in the UK and they’re always awesome. However Avenged were really good. They haven’t done a show that big whenever I [...]

Knight Rider Is Back!!!!!
I love all 80s TV shows with car chases and fights. I am so excited that the new Knight Rider was (a) good and (b) enough people watched it so they’re gonna make some more! See below…“Knight Rider” TV movie revs NBC ratings”By Paul J. GoughNEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - NBC rode the [...]

Super Tuesday
If you’re bored of the usual coverage, check out how the porn stars are voting, and their opinions on elections in general. My favourite is the girl who says “What’s Super Tuesday?!!!”

What A Great Time To Come To NY?.
So I have been here a month now and I’m loving it. Stallone puts out a new Rambo, NY wins the superbowl and in two weeks NBC is bringing back Knight Rider! The timing couldn’t be better. I’m a little nervous about Knight Rider though, can it be as great as the [...]

Lingerie Bowl
So, ~I’ve been in NY for nearly a month now and I’m starting to get to know my way around and discover what’s what. Imagine my excitement when I heard about the Lingerie Bowl! And picture my disappointment when I discovered yesterday it was cancelled!Scwenker is blaming this on me, cos he blames [...]

Led Zeppelin
Have you seen Jimmy Page has said today that if a tour is happening it ain’t gonna be till at least September cos Robert Plant keeps extending his tour with Alison Kraus! Surely time is running out, they ain’t getting any younger. I was lucky enough to see Led Zep at the O2 [...]

Movies
So I hear theatres are posting warning signs on the doors for those going into the Cloverfield movie cos the fact it’s all filmed on a hand held camera has made some viewers sick!Cloverfield was good, but it’s all about tomorrow when Rambo is out! I love the fact he slits someone’s throat with [...]
