I’ve realised the best white T-shirts aren’t the newest ones. They’re the ones you’re still reaching for a year later. I’m on a mission to find the perfect men’s white T-shirt from the high street, but a proper fit check isn’t about taking it out of the packet. It’s about what happens after months of wearing it, washing it and throwing it into your everyday wardrobe. This ASOS DESIGN BreatheMAX heavyweight tee has been in rotation since last summer and it’s quietly become one of my most-worn bas

Operation: See My Kids Get Old continues. If you’re in your 40s trying to get fit, lose weight, build muscle or simply become healthier than you were last year, I completely understand why the first question is usually, “How?” Since I’ve been sharing more of my own fitness over 40 journey, my comments and DMs have been full of the same questions. What did you take? What programme did you follow? What was the shortcut? I understand because I spent years asking exactly the same things. I was alway

Men’s summer style over 40 opinion that will probably annoy somebody: 10% linen does not make something a linen shirt. As the UK swelters through what feels like its 100th heatwave in a row, men’s summer fashion gets slightly more complicated when you want to look smarter without being slowly cooked from the inside. I like layers, but I also enjoy remaining conscious. Fabric choice makes all the difference. The number of times I’ve been hoodwinked & bamboozled by a lovely “linen” shirt, only to

Men’s fashion over 40 has somehow led me to a very serious search for the best men’s white T-shirt from the high street. Alongside Operation: See My Kids Get Old, Normalise Brews In The Rave and Bring Back Dancing to Dance Music, I’m now reviewing heavyweight white tees. Some men buy a motorbike in their 40s. I compare cotton weights and investigate bobbling. And people wonder why I don’t consider myself cool… Contender one was the Next Regular Fit Motionflex T-shirt. It survived the wash with o

Men’s fashion over 40 starts with the tour T-shirt this time. Bruno Mars belongs in the same conversation as Prince, Michael Jackson, James Brown, Billy Joel and Stevie Wonder when we talk about the great all-round entertainers. The hits, many of which they’d written or co-written themselves. The stagecraft. The musicianship. A show that doesn’t rely on bells and whistles, just generationally brilliant songs performed at an almost offensively high standard. Yes, I know that’s a statement, but if

Men’s fashion over 40 gets a bit weird sometimes. Apparently, as a 43-year-old Dad on my Operation: See My Kids Get Old health and fitness journey, I’m too old to wear this. Thing is, 20 years and more than 25 stone ago, around 350lb or 159kg, outside of the occasional appearance on a beach holiday where I’d have been highly self-conscious, I wouldn’t have been seen dead in an outfit like this. Too much skin. Too many chances to be judged by strangers. I’d have chosen a T-shirt instead of this m

Men’s fashion over 40 and possibly the perfect football shirt for someone who doesn’t actually follow football. No club. No player on the back. No emotional attachment to eleven strangers who could ruin my entire weekend by failing to defend a corner. Just a properly loud Patta Pattamazonia Football Jersey that looks like somebody sliced open a geode and turned it into sportswear. I’ve always liked football shirts as fashion more than I’ve liked actual Football. Particularly pieces like this tha

Men’s fashion over 40 and the beginning of my search for the best men’s white T-shirt available on the high street. As well as my mission to bring Dancing back to Dance music and Operation: See My Kids Get Old, I’m now on a quest to find the perfect high-street white tee. Obviously at my age, I love a purpose. A plain white T-shirt sounds like the easiest item in a man’s wardrobe to buy, but somehow most of them get at least one important thing wrong. The sleeves are too loose. The neck goes flo

Men’s fashion over 40, football shirt styling and a question for both football fans and fashion people: when does a football shirt stop being sportswear and become fashion? I might lose followers for this, but I’ve never been the biggest fan of football. Growing up in Nottingham, I saw the genuine emotional anguish that your team losing could cause, so I made a conscious decision to go all in on music instead. Then I married a lifelong Leicester City supporter. Go figure. The Sky Sports subscrip

Yesterday I was halfway through the Dad shop in Aldi when my agent called. Could I get to the Wirral in three hours to cover a DJ who had pulled out of a festival? Yellow labels abandoned. Home. Changed. Headphones and USBs grabbed. Straight onto the M6. Three hours later I was behind the decks playing Dance Music to a festival crowd giving it full send in the sun. Some people still think DJs should stand there looking mysterious while the House music is pounding. Even a few DJs have been giving

Seven years ago, I made a decision that would change my life forever... You may know me as the guy on the radio who has introduced you to your favourite new song. Or maybe as the guy who gave some of the biggest artists in the world their first ever national radio play: from Ed Sheeran to RAYE to Stormzy to James Hype and many more in between... but did you know that I also make music? In fact, I've made music longer than I've been a DJ or a Broadcaster. The problem was, I was consistently compa

Tell me you’re a British DJ without telling me you’re a British DJ. I’ll go first… It can be annoying to be mid DJ set when the Tea Time Alarm goes off, but luckily I was prepared. International DJs - make sure you’re aware and potentially bring your own flask of tea just in case. #teatimealarm #DJSet #ElectronicMusic
