Moyles gets act signed with one play

Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles managed to get unsigned singer Doug Walker a record deal after only play of his record.

Walker arrived at the Radio 1 studios early in the morning to hand the breakfast show DJ his single 'The Mystery' and Moyles ended up playing the tune near the start of his show.

Moyles told listeners: "Doug is outside Radio 1 if anyone wants to sign the guy," after the station were reportedly inundated with calls.

By 1pm the Manchester singer-songwriter was in talks with Universal records.

Talking about the incident, Walker told The Sun: "I gave Chris one of the first copies, then kept chatting to him when he came out for fag breaks."
