The Bored Housewife Radio Show - Who Is Alex Manford?

Who Is Alex Manford?

The question of who Alex Manford is was raised weeks prior to the first Bored Housewife Radio Show live event on June 7, 2007, when "The Alex Manford Benefit Show" was held at the Schooner Tavern in Auckland. Many a story has been woven by bands and presenters who appear on Fleet FM, however Jackson officially stated who Alex Manford was in a blog posting in mid-June 2007.

Alex Manford, contrary to belief, isn't dead. He is working for 'the man', but he isn't inept to the whole indie scene. Truth be told, Alex Manford was someone who helped shape both the Bored Housewife name by inventing it and allowing me to use it, and also my taste in diverse indie music. I've a lot of love and time for the guy, and it's a shame he's all the way over in the UK. He was also partly responsible for getting our old producer and myself into a lot of trouble with Siren FM, a student radio station. But meh... what's a few naughty words post watershed?

The usage of Alex Manford has become an integral part of the identity of the radio show and events associated with it; in 2007 the name was used in conjunction with a live event at the now defunct Schooner Tavern and in 2008 another live event will adorn the Alex Manford name, with the MySpace page regarding the concert already containing his likeness.
