Grooverider blows it
Grooverider, off the radio, has been arrested in Dubai.
Raymond Bingham (as he really is) was there to play a dj set; unfortunately, authorities reckon they've discovered drugs and porn in his stuff:
Ram Nath, the music promoter who organised the show, said that he warned Mr Bingham of the strict laws of the country before his departure from London.
“I sent a fax to him explaining all of our laws, including what he could and could not bring into the country. Unfortunately, he was booked by police before he got out of the airport,” Mr Nath said.

To make things worse for Grooverider, he's now going to be sued by Mr Nath to get back the losses caused by the set being canceled. First, of course, he's going to have negotiate a criminal hearing in the UAE.

Porn? Good grief, how long was he going for? I know these sets can drag on a bit, but could he really not manage the entire trip without his scud collection?
Next time I hear his show, I'm going to be wondering what he's up to during the records :(
PS I've just been to the Radio 1 website to see if they're reporting this story, what with him being one half of their 'Fabio and Grooverider' show. I couldn't see it, but I did spot a 'Listen Again' link:
'Bad Company with Fabio'
Bit harsh, isn't it?
