Eddie Piller

Writer, record producer, label owner, broadcaster, and entrepreneur EDDIE PILLER is heavily involved with the mod subculture, an interest which started in 1966 when his mum ran the fan club for East End mod super-stars, The Small Faces. He is perhaps best known as the co-founder of Acid Jazz records which recently celebrated its 35th birthday and remains one of the most successful indie labels of a generation. In recent years Piller has seen great success with the acclaimed jazz and soul compilation series ‘Martin Freeman & Eddie Piller Present…’ with the award-winning actor. He is also behind the chart-topping BBC album, ‘Eddie Piller presents…The Mod Revival.’ A thirty-year career in specialist radio has included successful spells presenting at radio stations such as Jazz FM, BBC Radio London, 6 Music, and Kiss FM. In 2019 he founded specialist internet radio station, Totally Wired Radio (TWR) and is especially well known for his regular Modcast show. Piller has recently written two books for Omnibus on the subject of Fanzines, and has written nine documentaries for Sky, ITV and the BBC as well as two radio documentaries. He has been the headline DJ at Glastonbury and Bestival, and Paul Weller’s tour DJ. Currently, Eddie, among other things, manages the actor/musician Matt Berry and can be spotted, if you’re eagle-eyed, in the latest series of Toast as a Californian cop.
