Introducing

On 2 November 2010 it was announced that Ally McCrae would take over from Vic Galloway as presenter of BBC Radio 1 Introducing show as part of a UK wide shake up of BBC Radio 1's Introducing set up. He now presents the BBC Introducing show with Jen Long. He was also the UK voice actor of Jet-Vac from the Skylanders series.

In June 2014, it was announced that from September 1, 2014, the BBC Introducing show on a Sunday would no longer be broadcast, hence ending McCrae's career at the station.

Detour Scotland

Detour Scotland was primarily created as a podcast for featuring unsigned Scottish bands but soon gained a reputation for putting on gigs, including the 'The Wee Jaunt'. These gigs were held around the Glasgow area with the audience being taken round a host of locations, where several different local bands would perform sets everywhere from dark alley-ways to a large pond in Rouken Glen Park. Detour also runs events in several more common music venues around Scotland and runs an online video blog.
