Welcome to Radio Free D’ni!
Welcome to the homepage of Radio Free D’ni. You will find here both our current announcements and our past playlists. Our links to the music stream are at the top, just above this post.
Generally speaking, we present a show every other week, at 1300 KI time. We have pre-show music usually starting 40 minutes earlier (so getting on the stream at 12:20 KI time might be a good idea), and also a good bit of music after the show proper.
See you in the Cavern

13:00 KI is 8 pm in the UK, 9 pm in CET. KI time is Mountain Time in the US, and it follows DST… I can only assume that when Victor Laxman got the KI’s working again he synch’d them to surface time in New Mexico…

97 Allan Holdsworth, part 2
With Ed still suffering from internet connection woes, Malaclypse stepped up and arranged the hardware to enable him to host the show. And it was a good debut, with no dropouts or awkward silences, very encouraging. We began with only seven listeners, but finished up with a peak of 24, which was very pleasing. Unfortunately Hugh Lynch was not able to join us on air, having suffered a PC failure himself. His help in compiling the show is gratefully acknowledged.
As promised, here is a link to a YouTube copy of the original 1980’s SynthAxe demo tape

96 Allan Holdsworth – Part 1
The first of a two-part appreciation of Allan Holdsworth, a favourite of both Hugh Lynch and myself. Edison Rex suffering from his piece of BT Internet wet string drying out, and with a very poor and intermittent connection, could not host the show. This accounts for why mine was the only voice from the team that you heard – apart from the jingle, that is.
Preshow began with a Tony Williams Lifetime track, from one of Allan’s happiest collaborations, then a track from one of his albums as a sideman with French electric violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, before playing the title track from what must be the only studio bootleg album, Velvet Darkness. Holdsworth and bandmates performed some warm-ups and run-throughs, and were just ready to record the album when the producer said “Right, we’ve got enough tracks for the album now, thank you and goodnight”! We finished with some of Allan Holdsworth’s earliest recorded work, with his band of Yorkshire mates ‘Igginbottom (covering the Beach Boys, of all things) and with jazz fusion trumpeter Ian Carr’s Nucleus.
The last track in the postshow is a relatively rare example of Holdsworth’s work on accoustic guitar.

Allan Holdsworth in two parts
On July 8th and 22nd, we will present a retrospective of the late Allan Holdsworth’s career, which spanned notable acts such as Soft Machine and Gong as well as many high-profile collaborations. Most settled in Jazz, Holdsworth had a very distinctive guitar style remeniscent more of a saxophone player than a guitarist. And if you wonder what that would sound like, tune in!
See you in the Cavern,

95 Todd Rundgren
A show containing some fine examples of both Todd Rundgren solo work and with his band Utopia. Preshow consisted of songs produced by Todd and postshow had notable covers of Todd songs. This show was put together by Hugh Lynch, and Hugh was with us in the show too.
Some technical issues hit us on this show, with Ed losing his internet connection shortly after the start. I took over with the show (having all the music files on my machine as a backup) and the audience kept with us, coming back by restarting their music players or refreshing the web page – thanks to everyone for keeping with us. Finally Ed got his connection back and we were able to swap back over, this time with a bit of verbal warning first, so you all knew what was happening this time. Again, about half the listeners lost the connection but you all came back, and we had 16 listeners by the end of the show.
We’ve got another Todd Rundgren show in the works, but do let us know if you want more, or less come to that.

94 Steely Dan part 2
Part 2 of the Steely Dan set. More diversity here, dealing with the peregrinations of Becker and Fagen after the split of Steely Dan and their eventual revival. Album production work and collaborations with other artists let us expand the coverage even wider.
A great show,not drawing a big audience to begin with but one that grew to 19 at one point. Several compliments received on social media and in the cavern afterwards, so I’m feeling a little better.
Preshow had some extras from China Crisis and Rosie Vela, who are both unfairly overlooked.
Postshow included the title track from Two Against Nature, which incorporates all the disturbing bits of voodoo, and Walter Becker’s This Moody Bastard, which is about as autobiographical as he ever got.
