In August 2003, Grandmaster Gareth was asked by John Peel to record a Peel Session. He decided to make a 17 minute 'Monster Melody' in order to take up as much airtime as possible. It aired on Radio One on the 17th of September 2003.
'Son Of Monster Melody' was recorded in the Winter of 2005 and included on the CD version of 'The Party Sounds of Grandmaster Gareth' as a bonus track.

Grandmaster Gareth is a master of time. Give him a minute, he will give you a melody. He has an impressive collection of dog
paintings. He fears Ted Glen. He has a Paypal account. He is a big fan of air and water. He does not know how the hot water tap works. He is smarter than his phone. He forgot your chocolate and he spent your pound. He doesn't work well individually or as part of a team....more
