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…

Cream!
On Sunday, October 14th, we will present Cream–arguably the first Supergroup in Rock history, and one of the most potent power trios of all time. And yes, as Supergroups go, the Million Dollar Quartet was earlier. But their sessions were only released decades later, and they never officially were a band.
See you in the Cavern,

102 Bill Bruford part 2
Part 2 of the Bruford show saw us concentrating on his later and more jazzy, not to say experimental, work. That was seasoned with several tracks from he earlier work as a guest musician or session man on albums lead by other people. Something for everyone.

Myst 25th Anniversary: Myst Memories
To start off the weekend of Myst’s 25th Anniversary celebrations, I did a show on my own, as neither Mal nor Ed was able to host. As I was the first one to start, I was able to fit in a long-ish preshow too 🙂
The Myst memories included the start of my involvement with computer gaming, which was Adventure, later known as Colossal Cave, on a Data General Nova. Several tracks were also from the year of Myst’s first release, 1993.

101 Bill Bruford part 1
A very satisfying show, with more than 20 listeners all the way through, and a maximum of 27. A lot of old favourites in the set list, which no doubt helped. Hugh was able to join us on the stream too.
Preshow and postshow tracks were the ones that didn’t quite make the show cut, again, and all had Bruford on drums.

Show 100: Centenary open mic show: No.1 hits
100 shows 😮
We never thought we’d get this far, but to be fair we don’t think too much ahead, the next few shows, perhaps regular events such as cavern anniversaries, and more recently the new year review of artists we’ve said goodbye to over the previous year. Yet, here we are, our first century completed, and still not short of ideas.
Our theme was No.1 hits, but that was to a certain extent a reason to have familiar songs on the show so we could leave the mic open. Which we did, and you were able to hear all of the thrashing around that goes on behind the scenes. Including my late arrival, forced on me by an unexpected mandatory update to the Teamspeak client. Which failed, so it was -reinstall from scratch- time.
All of the tracks had been No.1 somewhere, at some time, including the pre and postshow tracks. It was Hugh’a birthday, so he had prior engagements, and could not join us. Selections came from four of us (Mal, Ed, Hugh and I) and we had an audience of more than 30 listeners, something we have not managed for some time. Do come again 🙂

Radio Free D’ni @ 100
On the second of September, Radio Free D’ni will present its 100th show. Contrary to our usual policy, for this show we will air only #1 hits and tell the dirty secrets behind them–and we will keep the back channel open, so our audience can hear the dirty secrets that go on in the background during the making of our shows.
See you in the Cavern,
